Embed media to your boards using the iFrame Embed widget. This feature allows adding thumbnails of the website content such as prototypes, maps, audio, and video files to have quick access to them.
How to embed media
To embed media to your board, click Paste iFrame code in the toolbar. This will open a dialogue box, where you will be able to paste the iFrame code of the file that you wish to upload to the board. Once you paste the link and click Embed, the media will be shown on the board.
⚠️ Please note that the iFrame code limit is up to about 3000 symbols.
