Can you embed Wistia in an iframe?

1. 1Open the page of the video in your Wistia account.
2. 2Click Embed to open the embed modal.
3. 3Select the Inline style. Then, under Embed Type, select Fallback (iframe).
4. 4Select Responsive or Fixed size.
5. 5Click Copy Code. Paste the code into an HTML embed or custom code block on your page.

<iframe
  src="https://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/{media-hashed-id}?seo=true&videoFoam=false"
  title="{video title}"
  allow="autoplay; fullscreen"
  allowtransparency="true"
  frameborder="0"
  scrolling="no"
  class="wistia_embed"
  name="wistia_embed"
  width="640"
  height="360">
</iframe>
<script src="https://fast.wistia.net/assets/external/E-v1.js" async></script>

The iframe plays without the script. With domain restrictions, keep E-v1.js on the page, outside the iframe.

Add options such as autoPlay=true after a ?, with & between them. Use percent encoding for names and values.

Good to know

• Wistia recommends the Standard JavaScript embed where JavaScript is allowed.
• Use the Fallback iframe on sites and site builders that block Wistia's script.
• Domain restrictions apply to the whole account. Only the Account Owner can turn them on.
• On a blocked site, the player shows "This video is not authorized to be embedded here."
