Display "myapps.microsoft.com" on a SharePoint site page

Copper Contributor

We would like to show a user's apps (which show on myapps.microsoft.com) on the SharePoint starting page of our organization.

Is there some sort of iFrame or Embed webpart that can show these apps in a visually appealing manner?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Regards, Ruud

@Ruud van Wijk on a modern SharePoint site you can use Embed Web Part.

On classic site you can use Embed Code functionality to add an iFrame.

You might need to add the URL to site's HTML Field Security settings found on Site Settings.

Hi Matti, thanks for your reply. It's a modern site so I used Embed Web Part. It doesn't work when I paste the URL, it returns an error that translates roughly to "Embedding with only the url address is not supported. Please paste the embed code."

@Ruud van Wijk, you need to use an iframe. Width and height needs to be also defined.

<iframe width="400" height="400" src="https://myapps.microsoft.com"></iframe>

Matti, I'm getting closer and closer! Thanks! Unfortunately, the next error appears and it reads "This content cannot be displayed in a frame". Is there something I can do to work around this?

@Ruud van Wijk  Often You get this (or a similar) message when trying to embed content:

 

"Embedding content from this website isn't allowed, but your admin can change this setting. They will need to add 'thewebaddress.com' to the list of sites that are allowed."


This can be changed but it is nothing i recommend: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/allow-or-restrict-the-ability-to-embed-content-on-sharepoin...

 

The easy solution is: Create a link or a button named "View my applications" and link it to this page: https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/r#/applications
