Embed a padlet

Updated 4 months ago by Carla Sese

The embed feature allows you to place a smaller (yet fully functional) version of your padlet on another webpage.

In order for your embedded padlet to function, you will need to set the privacy to Secret or Public. If you choose a different privacy setting, your padlet will not embed properly. Org only can only be used when embedding a padlet in an LMS.

Accessing the embed code

Boards

Open the padlet you want to embed and then click the Share arrow in the action bar. From here, go to the Share section and click Embed in your blog or website.

From here, you can choose to Copy board embed code, Copy preview embed code, or Copy slideshow embed code.

  • Copying the board embed code will embed the board straight onto your blog or website.
  • Copying the preview embed code will embed a clickable thumbnail onto your blog or website.
  • Copying the slideshow embed code will embed your board in slideshow presentation mode onto your blog or website.
When embedding a slideshow, you can choose the size of the display and whether 'Autoplay' is ON or OFF. If you choose to have 'Autoplay' ON, you can set the duration of each slide and whether to have the slideshow play continuously on a loop.

The embedded padlet is a fully functional padlet.

If you are using WordPress, you can simply paste the URL of your padlet in your post, and the padlet will be embedded automatically.

If you are using an LMS, here are step-by-step instructions for embedding your padlet.

Sandboxes

Easily embed your Sandbox into a blog or website with three available sizes:

  • Small (480 x 320)
  • Medium (720 x 480)
  • Large (1080 x 720)

Open your Sandbox and click the Share arrow at the top of the page. From here, go to the Share section and click Embed in your blog or website.

Pick your embed size and then choose between embedding the Play mode version of your Sandbox (to share a finished Sandbox with your students) or the Draw mode version (when you want to share the editable version).

Select Copy play/draw embed code and paste the code into your desired location.

LTI embeds: Both Draw and Play modes are available.

Non-LTI embeds: Only Play mode is available.

Choosing the right privacy setting

In order for your embedded padlet to function, you will need to set the privacy to Secret or Public. If you choose a different privacy setting, your padlet will not embed properly. Org only can only be used when embedding a padlet in an LMS.
