Using the Embed slide

Using the Embed slide

With the Embed slide, you can now embed many tools or websites into your AhaSlides presentation using HTML code or an embeddable URL.


Some contents cannot be embedded due to copyright restrictions. They can only be viewed directly on their original platforms.

1. Adding URL or Embed code:

To embed your tools/website, you can enter one of the following options into the URL or Embed code field:

URL

We support using URLs with the following formats:
  1. Youtube: https://youtube.com/watch?v=… or https://youtube.com/embed/{videoId}
  2. Google Docs, Sheets, Slides: links in "Publish to the web"
  3. Miro: https://miro.com/app/board/{boardId}
  4. Skoletube: https://skoletube.dk/e/{videoId}

Embed code

You can use Embed code with the format <iframe src="https://webname.com" in the Embed slide

For example, this is a Embed code to embed a YouTube video: 
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nW2M-M9suj4?si=iNW64UQNwfcjM9pH&amp;start=10" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Info
Pro Tips: You can easily control autoplay, start time, and end time for a YouTube video using its embed code. To do this, simply add parameters like autoplay=1, start=TIME_IN_SECONDS, and end=TIME_IN_SECONDS after src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videocode?".

Example: To autoplay a video, start it at 0:30, and end it at 1:05, you would add autoplay=1&start=30&end=65 to the src URL.
So, if your original embed code is: 
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nW2M-M9suj4?si=1TXF_LEelk04bjDC" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You'll replace the part si=1TXF_LEelk04bjDC (or similar unique identifier) in the src URL with autoplay=1&start=30&end=65.
