How it works

My Content Embed is an app that allows you to display your Valotalive content on any website. This is a simple way to increase the number of people who see your posts. Viewers can easily scroll through posts and click on them to learn more.

Valotalive My Content Embed extends the reach of your info screen content to your intranet

Key features:
​

✔ Display posts from your My Content and Wall channels.

✔ Select one or more channels to share.

✔ Share specific content on different intranet sites, whether they're for your whole company or just a local office

✔ Choose between two layouts: a Grid or a List
​

Optional features:

✔ MS AD (Entra ID) SSO authentication is supported.

Once you create the app, you'll get a special embed URL. You will use this link to embed your Valotalive content on your website.

    ​Configuring the My Content Embed App

    • Make sure you are on the CONFIGURATION tab.

      Valotalive Dashboard Configuration MyContent Embed

    • Choose a Theme

      Select your company's theme or a general one. This controls the colors and fonts used in the app.

    • Add Source(s)

      Choose the My Content channels you want to share.

      Best practice:

      Select all the channels you've created. This lets local users on your website or intranet choose the channels that are most relevant to them.

    • Choose the Layout

      Select either Grid or List from the drop-down menu.

      The Grid layout displays thumbnails of all your posts, and it is easier to skim through.

    • Show Advanced Settings

      Clicking Show Advanced gives you two additional options:

      • Collect data about user activity:

        Turn this on to get data on how people interact with your embedded content.

      • Thumbnail attempted width:

        Set a preferred width for your post thumbnails. Note that thumbnails will never be wider than the viewing window.

    • Then close the window by clicking the X in the top right corner.

    1. Final Step

      • After you've configured your settings go to ACTIONS tab to copy the URL for the embedded app.

        My Content Embed Copy The URL

      • Insert an <iframe> tag into your intranet page or webpage.

      • Use the copied URL as the src (source) for the iframe.
        ​

        <iframe width="890" height="1200" src="Your My Content Embed URL here" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

      • Then, add that complete embed code to your intranet page or website page
