Profe71 "Probably that's not new..."

I'm not sure whether you are referring to my post about using H5P embed code on a SharePoint page or to Lumi Education. However, if you are referring to my post - I agree, that is probably not new - I'm just drawing people's attention to it. Now, if you were referring to Lumi Education on the other hand, I believe it is quite new. I have just downloaded and installed their latest version and followed their tweets. They announced yesterday that it is now possible to export H5P content from their desktop app, to HTML, which you can distribute - as you have said - even with email. That is great news!

Thank you, for the heads up! I'm definitely going to play around with H5P and Lumi Education. It opens up great possibilities.

Thanks Profe71 for the suggestion of Lumi Education. Very nice and simple interface that works as advertised.

 

MariusPretoriusI have managed to embed the resulting html file into the tab of a Team as seen below by using a strategy suggested in the comments of this Uservoice Request https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/37349302-host-local-html-via-teams-tab
The steps are:

  1. Create the H5P content and export the HTML file with Lumi Education
  2. Change the file extension to aspx, which makes it a SharePoint page (no need to change anything else in the HTML code as far as I can tell).
  3. If not already saved in a OneDrive folder, upload the file to OneDrive
  4. As this is a SharePoint page, OneDrive will recognise that it shouldn't be shared outside the organisation, so you need to give permission to the Team members in the Team where you will embed it. Click on the three dots beside the filename in OneDrive>Manage Access. Click the + sign in the 'Manage Access' panel at right to grant access and Type in the name of the Group/Team that you want to be able to view the content. Change to 'Can view' and click 'Grant Access'. Repeat this access granting step for all Teams that may need to view the content.
  5. Close the Manage Access panel, click on the 3 dots beside the filename>Copy Link
  6. Go to the Team>Add a Tab to the channel>Website and paste in the OneDrive link
  7. Your H5P content will now be embedded though it may ask users to sign in with their credentials to authenticate when the tab loads. I found this is only a problem in the desktop app when multiple accounts from the domain are connected to Windows.

    The embedded tab:

    I tried a bunch of other workarounds to try and embed it as a SharePoint page within the Team to no avail.
