**Question:**  
How to embed external [URL](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGkgO0J0Dw/GR7U1d6PwrWCyYCb0PFMtA/view?utm_content=DAGkgO0J0Dw&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=hcb338e411d) to my Wix website?

Currently, I am getting error “refused to connect” when use embed HTML element.  
It seems that the Iframe used in Wix embed HTML element is restricting some URLs to be embedded.

**Product:**  
Wix Editor

**What are you trying to achieve:**  
I am creating micro-learning on Canva and I would like to embed them through Canva public link to my Wix website.

**What have you already tried:**

- I successful used ifame to embed the same link to another website (not wix).
- When I used chrome extension " Ignore X-Frame headers" everything is working fine.

**Additional information:**  
According to my search the issue is related to X-frame header configuration.

You cannot embed a Canva design’s public URL directly inside your HTML / iFrame.  
Instead, copy the design’s embed code and paste that into your HTML element to make it work.

This video shows how to do that:

Thanks for your reply and apricate sharing the video.  
Canva embed code is working fine with Wix but doesn’t support audio. That is why I am trying to use the Public URL.

Actually, I already used Canva public URL to embed successfully to another website I host on “cloudflare”.

```javascript
<div style="position: relative; width: 100%; height: 0; padding-top: 56.2500%; padding-bottom: 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 8px 0 rgba(63,69,81,0.16); margin-top: 0em; margin-bottom: 0em; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 8px; will-change: transform;"> 
 <iframe id="microLearningUrl" loading="lazy" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0; border: none; padding: 0;margin: 0;" src="https://www.canva.com/design/DAGkrRAExwk/ocPs8Qgip56aj25mvP0CRA/view?utm_content=DAGkrRAExwk&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h536d7c7d7e" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" allow="fullscreen"> </iframe> 
 </div>

Oh, that’s unfortunate…

Then it is most probably a software limitation of Wix and there’s nothing much we can do about that unfortunately.

I’m not totally sure if this is the cause - but this might be why your audio isn’t playing:

> [@Audio on uploaded video wont play](https://forum.wixstudio.com/t/audio-on-uploaded-video-wont-play/59982/2):

> It’s worth noting that automatically playing sound on page load is considered bad practice, and some browsers will automatically disable audio by default, regardless of the settings you add.

> Generally, this is to prevent situations such as being in public and accidentally being caught off guard by audio on a site you weren’t expecting.

For a workaround, I would suggest maybe having a button on your site page that takes the user directly to your presentation’s public URL, and then have a button on the PPT itself, maybe in the last slide, on the corner of all slides - something like **BACK TO ALL COURSES** which wil bring the users back to your site from there.
