You can embed a wide variety of content — including images, video files, audio clips, and maps — from several web sites in your Sway.
-
Copy the content’s embed code, which you can find by selecting the Share option or its equivalent. The code should look similar to this: <iframe width="560" height="315"… </iframe>.
-
Click the + icon at the bottom of any existing card.
-
Click Media, and then select Embed.
-
Paste your embed code to the new Embed Card that appears in the Storyline.
Note: If you paste a URL (web address) as your embed code, it must contain the secure prefix https:// instead of http:// or your selected content will not be embedded.
You can also embed a form or embed an Office document in a Sway.
