Is it possible to embed a web app without PowerApps

OK thanks. I have had some experience trying to get this to work in the past and as I recall I kept having issues with restricted content (like putting a Google search field on a page) - incidentally doing this with PowerApps is easy, but does not work with the iFrame. Let me see if I can get it to work with our application. Thanks.

Hi CW_213 ,
exactly, if you already have a PowerApp, you can embed it in a SharePoint page
- PowerApps Webpart
- Integrate canvas apps into websites and other services
- Embed PowerApps on SharePoint Pages
but basically it's in iFrame, so just can use Embed WebPart, and follow general advice.
In my personal opinion, Embed WebPart is not the best from a UI point of view, especially with responsive (or resizing page) requirements.
It's fine for multimedia content, or small content, but not for a single page application.
If you don't need the SharePoint context, and you can allow users to navigate to another browser tab, it's probably best to set up a simple link.
But this is just my point of view 🙂
Cheers,
