Embed HTML doesn't allow interaction on Wix

Hi,
Does anybody know how to embed an HTML code that allows the viewers to interact with it? Basically, this is my issue:

  1. I tried to embed a code from another provider outside of the standard ones that Wix provides, i.e. service called Lightcast. The code allows me to view the live video, but of course, it will be muted. I tried everything i can, added “controls” put “unmuted” but no to avail.
  2. I also tried to embed a calendar from Airtable, but it doesn’t allow me to use the scroll down at all, let alone, click. As if it’s just pasted there, but no interaction.
  3. I was wondering if it was my providers that have a problem. I did the same with YouTube embed code just to test it out, and the experience is exactly the same.

Does anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks!
Thea

HTML Components definitely allow users to interact with and scroll the element.

For Airtable it could be on the airtable side where the embed is locked, see here: Embedding Airtable Views | Airtable Support

Similarly for YouTube I copied the embed of a video, pasted it into the HTML Component and it played video and audio, let me click buttons, and let me scroll the element since I had made it a bit too small for the video.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zGruPOYlvRs?si=5hGXRLgCyy73C0Ek" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Can you provide the code you’re using in the YouTube example?

Also may want to confirm that there’s no browser plugins or audio settings that could be causing issues?

Perhaps try another browser or another device?

I just copied your code and changed the video, and it worked perfectly! Thank you!
