If you embed your Vidalytics player inside an <iframe>, you may encounter several issues that can impact functionality and user experience.
Common Issues with <iframe> Embeds
Redirects May Not Work Properly
Instead of redirecting the entire webpage, the redirection may only occur within the video container, causing unexpected behavior.
Playback & Performance Problems
<iframe>can interfere with autoplay, tracking, and other key features of the Vidalytics player.
Limited Control Over Player Behavior
Many Vidalytics customization features do not function properly when the video is embedded via
<iframe>.
Why <iframe> Is Not Recommended
The use of <iframe> has been declining over the years due to the numerous issues it creates. Many modern websites avoid using <iframe> altogether because:
It limits interactivity and control over embedded content.
It prevents proper communication between the player and the rest of the webpage.
It can cause headaches with redirects, analytics, and autoplay settings.
What Should You Do Instead?
For the best experience, use the standard Vidalytics embed code instead of an <iframe>. This ensures:
✔ Full functionality of the Vidalytics player
✔ Accurate tracking & analytics
✔ Smooth user experience without unexpected behavior
