What is an iFrame?

An iframe is a way to load another website within a website. It works like a window where people can view and interact with a different website while remaining in your world. Some external websites prevent iframing, and require opening the website in a new tab. If you choose one of the iframe options - we recommend testing by exiting Builder Mode and clicking the asset to ensure the link opens as expected. If you get an error, try choosing the Open in New Tab option.
