How to embed ThingLink in SharePoint

How to embed a ThingLink into a SharePoint page

1. While editing a SharePoint page, click the plus '+' button to add a new element. Select the 'Embed' option:

2. Open the ThingLink image or video you'd like to share and click the blue 'Share' button then select 'Embed on website'. Copy the iframe embed code, but do not copy the code after the </iframe> tag:

Here's what default embed code looks like for a sample image:

<iframe width="960" height="630" data-original-width="3992" data-original-height="2621" src="https://www.thinglink.com/card/1205257932048957445" type="text/html" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>
<script async src="//cdn.thinglink.me/jse/responsive.js"></script>

The code you need for SharePoint (without the <script></script> part):

<iframe width="960" height="630" data-original-width="3992" data-original-height="2621" src="https://www.thinglink.com/card/1205257932048957445" type="text/html" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>

3. Go back to SharePoint and paste the embed code into the text field on the right-hand side:

Once that's done, your ThingLink should appear on the page.

I get an error after pasting the embed code

Depending on how your SharePoint is set up, you may not be allowed to embed ThingLinks. If this happens, you'll see an error next to the embed code:

Please reach out to your SharePoint admin and ask them to whitelist the thinglink.com domain. Further instructions are available here.

Responsiveness & mobile friendliness

Because SharePoint blocks external scripts, the responsiveness of ThingLink content is limited. The images or videos you embed will resize automatically, but the tag popups will appear smaller and might not work well on mobile. If you find that the majority of your viewers consume content on mobile, we recommend adding a direct link to the same content on ThingLink so it can be viewed without the limitations imposed by SharePoint.
