How can I embed an iframe into the community page

Hi @Wilder-Clari 👋,

Indeed, an iframe cannot be embedded within a page or a post but it can be embedded within a custom HTML widget like @anirbandutta mentioned. This can be selected from the widget menu in Customize mode.

Hi @KevyM 👋,

It’s a product limitation with the text editor we use, as it strips out a lot of the HTML tags required to embed an iframe. These are the media types that can be embedded within topics (including articles):
