Customizing Your Embed

Changing Size

Adjust the size by modifying the iframe style:

  • Widescreen (16:9) - Default aspect ratio

  • Standard (4:3) - Traditional screen ratio

  • Square (1:1) - Equal width and height

  • Fixed height - Set a specific pixel height

Making it Responsive

The default embed code is already responsive (width: 100%). It automatically adjusts to container width.

Adding Border or Shadow

Add visual styling to your embed:

Add visual styling like borders, shadows, or rounded corners through the iframe's style attribute.

Best Practices

  • Test on mobile - Ensure your embed looks good on all screen sizes

  • Use HTTPS - Make sure your HeyBoss project URL uses https://

  • Set appropriate size - Choose dimensions that fit your content

  • Consider loading time - Complex projects may take a moment to load

  • Test scrolling - Ensure embedded content scrolls properly if needed

  • Check responsiveness - Verify the embed adapts to different screen widths

Advanced Embedding Options

Lazy Loading

Add the loading="lazy" attribute to load the embed only when it's visible (improves page speed).

Full Screen Support

Add the allowfullscreen attribute to let users view your embed in full screen.

Specific Page Embedding

You can embed a specific page by adding the page path to your project URL in the iframe src attribute.

Troubleshooting

Embed Not Showing

  • Check that your project is published (not draft)

  • Verify the iframe code was pasted correctly

  • Ensure no browser extensions are blocking iframes

  • Check browser console for error messages

Embed Shows Blank

  • Wait a few seconds - it may still be loading

  • Check your project URL is correct and accessible

  • Verify your website allows iframe embeds

  • Try opening the project URL directly in a new tab

Embed Size Issues

  • Remove any fixed height constraints

  • Adjust aspect-ratio to fit your content

  • Check parent container width isn't restricting the iframe

  • Test on different screen sizes

Security Considerations

  • Only embed your own projects - Don't embed untrusted external content

  • Use HTTPS - Secure connection protects user data

  • Review permissions - Embedded iframes have limited access to parent page

  • Keep projects updated - Maintain security of embedded content

Common Questions

Does embedding affect my project's performance?

No! Embedded projects load independently and don't slow down your main website.

Can I embed multiple projects on one page?

Yes! You can add as many iframe embeds as you need on a single page.

Will the embed update when I update my project?

Yes! The embed always shows the latest published version of your project. No need to update the embed code.

Can users interact with embedded projects?
