HTML Iframe Code to Embed Video on Custom Page Not Working

rachelmedina · August 5, 2013

Hello! I have been trying to create a Custom Pricing Page on the New Smugmug and would like to include Smugmug's own Product Videos to play on it, however, upon creating an HTML Content Block on the Custom Page and upon entering the appropriate iframe code to embed the video (copied and pasted from Smugmug)...nothing happens. No video shows up whatsoever. In fact, when going back to view the coding, the iframe code has seem to have disappeared/is automatically erased. Is there something that I am missing here? Am I doing something wrong? I did try the same iframe code in my old Legacy website just to make sure that the code actually works and it works perfectly fine there, but in the New Smugmug, nothing happens. Anyone else come across this problem? Thank you in advance to anyone who can give me some insight!

From what I understand iFrames are not supported.

As far as I know the workaround that folks were using to embed an iframe is no longer working; it was viewed as a security hole.

Embedding vimeo videos has been enabled. See Vimeo Block Now Available!

Yeah, I did see the vimeo support, but I stream live video from concerts and use uStream because it is easy, can I workaround this with the vimeo block?

I assume you would need to place the videos in vimeo not in uStream.

Yeah unfortunately vimeo doesn't support the live webcast with my production software so I am a bit limited in that regard
