How It Works
Embeds in Disco allow for the integration of various external platforms through the Embed App in Community, Products and Content. Available options include Discord, Airtable, Google Docs, Google Forms, Typeform, Whereby, Figma, Miro, Loom, YouTube, and Vimeo. These can be embedded directly into Pages, Lessons, Tasks, Assignments, or anywhere the Rich Text Editor is available.How To Create an Embed
- Choose Your Embed Tool: Decide which external tool or resource to embed within your Disco Community.
- Obtain the Embed Link: For the chosen tool, follow the product-specific instructions to obtain an embeddable or shareable link. Note that for Typeform, this includes obtaining a share link that passes hidden variables like disco_user_id.
- Embed in Disco: Embeds can be added to Disco in 3 ways:
- Rich Text Editor: In the area where you want to include the Embed (Lesson, Task, Assignment, etc.), use the Rich Text Editor to insert the embed link. This process may vary slightly depending on the tool but generally involves pasting the embed link into a designated embed area or using an HTML embed option if available.
- Content: When creating content, select the Embed tab and choose to embed an integration as content.
- App: Add an App in the Community or within a Product and select the Embed option.
- Customize Visibility and Access: Ensure the embedded content is appropriately set up for the intended audience, whether it’s all members, specific groups, or instructors only.
Important Considerations
- When embedding a Typeform, please follow the instructions in the Typeform Support Center to get a share link for your Typeform. Disco passes the following hidden variables to Typeform:
- diso_user_id
- disco_user_first_name
- disco_user_last_name
