Collect and Prepare Embed Codes

This article and the accompanying video discuss how to collect embed codes from a few different sources and then to prepare them for use in a SharePoint site.

Notes

• Embed codes must be saved as .txt files or they may not be recognized properly by the Content Editor Web Part
• Premium subscribers to various streaming services may have more options to customize embed codes for that service than are shown here.
• Be sure that you own or are in control of any content that you embed in an Oregon.gov page.  Content that you do not own can change at any time without warning.
