Please note, the 'Anyone in your X account can view limits the Embeddable Channel to only users who have access to your ScreenCloud account with credentials to access the account.

This will allow only users for your ScreenCloud account to have access to the content by logging in when they visit the link as exampled below.

For example, if you were to copy and paste the link into your web browser, you'd be able to view your channel directly from the link provided. The end-user can select Start Playing to view scheduled content from your shared channel. If the link is restricted to 'Anyone in your X account can view' then you'll be required to log in with your ScreenCloud credentials before viewing content.

3.2. Next you can view two options for sharing your Embeddable Channels, for SharePoint, it is required to use an embed code. You can click on the Embed button to generate an iFrame code to share your channel as a virtual player. For example, you can use this option to directly embed the channel into your company intranet, a website, or anywhere you'd like that can display an iFrame player. This virtual player is how you can display the Embeddable Channel in SharePoint.

3.3. Select Copy and you'll automatically copy the embed code to your device. You can then use the code anywhere you'd like which supports an iFrame player to embed and use the virtual player to display your channel.

Next, let’s access your Microsoft SharePoint account.

4. Add your embed code into SharePoint

4.1. Please log in to your Microsoft SharePoint account.

4.2. Open up SharePoint and either edit an existing page or create a new one.

4.3. In the SharePoint options provided, add a section and click the “+” symbol. Then select the Embed "< / >" button of the list.

4.4. A pop-up window will open which prompts an embed code to be placed. Copy and paste the embed code for your Embeddable Channel into the section Website address or embed code. Once you’re finished, you can publish the page.

Please note, if you would like for the content to auto-play automatically, instead of clicking the Start Playing button, you can add the below code to the end of the URL in your embed code.

?type=channel&autoplay=1

For example, the embed code below highlights where exactly you can add this:

<iframe src="https://embed.screencloud.com/eu/Ex7J4AAnrTmYMryEFBXo?type=channel&autoplay=1"" width="1280" height="720" scrolling="no" />

4.5. You should now be able to see your Embeddable Channel available to run within the SharePoint page you’ve created for anyone who has access to this SharePoint page. You can refer to the example screenshot below which displays a channel embedded into SharePoint:
