Embed in New Google Sites
Finally! You can embed in Google Sites. The “Embed URL” has been changed to just “Embed.”
When you double click on the page, the insert wheel now allows you the option to “Embed.”
Embed
When selecting “Embed” a pop up gives you the option to embed “By URL” or “Embed Code.” Click on the “Embed Code.”
Embed Code
Websites such as Twitter may allow for embedding, you need to obtain the embed code and copy it.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Select a tweet, and click on the “More” arrow in the upper right of the tweet. A drop down menu of additional options allows you to “Embed Tweet.”
Copy Embed Code
Don’t freak out at the code, just copy it. You don’t need to read the code or understand it. Control C to copy.
Paste
In the pop up for Google Sites, paste the embed code.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Embed a Hashtag
To embed a hashtag or user feed into the new Google Sites you want to click on your profile picture in the upper right and choose “Settings and privacy.”
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Widgets
On the left hand side, choose “Widgets” from the menu.
New Widget
Create Widget
Search for the hashtag or twitter handle and choose “Create widget.”
This will give you the embed code to copy.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Embed Twitter Feed
In Google Sites, insert “Embed” by using the sidebar or double-clicking to view the insert wheel. Paste the code into the “Embed code” tab.
Resize
When embedding a Twitter feed you will want to show at least 3 tweets. Grab the resizing handles, specifically the one at the bottom, and DRAG to show more of the feed.
Publish
Do not forget to publish your Google Site to have the embedded Twitter feed show up on the site. Click Publish, then click on the tiny triangle next to the Publish button to “View published site.”
I have been waiting for this option forever!!!! However, I checked both my personal and school account and am still only seeing embedded URL. Any idea when it will be pushed out to everyone?
Can take up to 2 weeks for new features to fully roll out.
