Hi folks,

 

Having difficulty with the embed widget, trying to link to a business page, but getting errors regarding sandboxing.

 

Anyone find a workaround?

Iframes are kind of dangerous. They are designed to be isolated from the rest of your page because with the right permissions an iframe could run code on your webpage and take it over to do whatever they want. Even if you trust the other site, if that site becomes compromised, so can your site. In order to protect you, the Embed Widget has been intentionally limited and set up with strict iframe policies.

If you create your own custom iframe widget, you can set your own security settings and allow the iframe.
