Add a DreamWidget to Google Sites

Where it goesEmbed (code)
What you needFree. Google Sites runs embeds in a sealed frame, so floating widgets such as a popup or chat buttons cannot reach the page.

First, copy your code. In the DreamWidget editor, open Settings and press Copy embed code. It is one iframe and a short script; paste both.

Add a widget to a page

  1. Insert an embedIn the editor choose Insert, then Embed, then the "Embed code" tab.
  2. Paste and insertPaste your DreamWidget code, press Next, then Insert.
  3. ResizeDrag the box to the height the widget needs and publish.
Floating widgets: Google Sites does not let a script reach the page, so a popup, announcement bar or chat buttons cannot float over it. Every inline widget works.
Worth knowing: Inline widgets work well here: the Logo Showcase, the video widgets, FAQ, countdown and counter.

Check it worked

Open the published page in a private window. The widget draws within a second; if the box is empty, see Checking it worked. Changes you publish in the editor appear on Google Sites by themselves; you never paste the code again.
