- What is an embed app?
- An embed app displays content from another website - a video, a map, a calendar, a music player - inside a frame on your own site. Visitors interact with the embedded content (play the video, pan the map, book the slot) without leaving your page.
- What can I embed on my Saynovo website?
- Recognized providers - YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, Calendly, and Spotify - embed from a plain link with the correct player and shape. Beyond those, any secure https page can be framed in a strict sandbox behind a click-to-load card.
- Do I need to copy iframe embed code?
- No. You paste the normal link - the one in your browser's address bar - and say where you want it. Saynovo extracts the video ID, map query, or calendar path and builds the frame for you. If you already copied the embed code (Google Maps calls it "Share, then Embed a map"), paste that instead and Saynovo reads the link out of it.
- How do I embed a Google Map on my website?
- Two pastes work. Open the place in Google Maps and copy the address bar link, or use Share and then "Embed a map" and copy the whole HTML block - either one becomes a live map section. The one thing that will not work is the short maps.app.goo.gl link the phone app produces: Google refuses to let that address be shown inside another site, so open it once and copy the full link it lands on.
- Why does my embedded page say it cannot be displayed?
- Some websites tell browsers they may not be shown inside another site - banks, ticketing systems and a lot of logged-in tools do this on purpose. When that happens your visitors see a short, tidy card with a button that opens the page in a new tab, instead of a blank rectangle. Swap in a link the other site allows to embed and the frame fills in.
- Are embeds safe for my visitors?
- Yes - safety is the point of the design. Recognized providers load from a vetted template (YouTube via its no-cookie player), and any other page runs in a locked-down sandbox that cannot take over your site, and only loads after the visitor clicks to allow it.
- Will embeds slow my website down?
- Minimally, by design. Frames load lazily (only as the visitor scrolls near them), reserve their space to prevent layout shifts, and click-to-load embeds cost nothing at all until the visitor opts in.
- Can I embed a YouTube video without cookies?
- Yes - YouTube embeds automatically use the youtube-nocookie player, so watching on your site does not set YouTube advertising cookies the way a standard embed does.
- How do I change or remove an embed?
- Say it to your site: "swap the video for this one" with the new link, "make the map full width", or "remove the Spotify player". The change applies immediately in the editor.
- Does the embed app cost extra?
- No - Custom Embed is included with a paid Saynovo subscription. There is no per-embed fee, unlike the marketplaces that bill you every month for each embedded element.
