SharePoint Online Facebook or YouTube Embed code not loading untill mouseover
Hi All,
A strange things happened in last few days in SharePoint online. Earlier if I embed Facebook feed embed code in SharePoint Online it was working fine but now it is not showing until mouse over on that webpart. Please see the attached screenshot. Anyone have any idea if this is problem from MS or I am missing something?
- Hi,
No sure if a screenshot will help.
1/ Add the iFrame code to your embed web part like you normally would and publish your page. You will see the issue with the mouse over we are experiencing
2/ Place the page into edit mode, in the embed web part text box delete the iFrame code and replace with something like "facebook.com" and then click the Republish button
For some reason it ignores the facebook.com code you enters and displays the web part correctly using the previous iFrame code

I don't know if you still need a solution, but i had the same problem. Just take out the "https:" from the src attribute in your iframe. So your link is just "//www.google.de/..."
Good luck!- jsmolenaersCopper ContributorI can confirm removing "https" from the SRC URL also worked for me.
- Melissa ListonBrass ContributorLeaving in the // didn't work for me, but taking out EVERYTHING but the www... DID! Thanks!
- thomascallahandellCopper ContributorRemoving the protocol worked for me. No idea WHY that works, but I'm glad it does. Can't believe this is still an issue a year later!
- clayton_cernCopper ContributorThis fix worked for excel charts/graphs I have on my page using the embed web part. I changed the iframe text to just excel.com and without saving, clicked republish. Worked for all 4 of my charts on our dashboard page.
Crazy there isn't an actual fix for this from Microsoft considering it really hurts your ability to create dashboards for your clients/customers.- Melissa ListonBrass ContributorThis issue is actually a problem that Microsoft support has acknowledged, and their engineers are working on a fix over the next couple of months.
- ClayJamesBrass ContributorHi
Did you find a solution to this ? This is recently happening in multiple tenants.- AniruddhabCopper Contributor
ClayJames : No I have not and thanks for commenting at least now I know it is not only my tenant which is affcted.
- ClayJamesBrass ContributorHey mate - it is actually quite widespread.
i have been in touch with MSFT and have a weird workaround but it works 🙂
Stay with me as it is strange.
1/ Put your page in edit mode
2/ Remove the iFrame code from the web part - and replace with something like facebook.com (I don't think this matters)
3/ Click somewhere outside the textbox - and then click Save as Draft or Republish button
And for some strange reason the embed web part will work correctly.
