There is a site called kahoot that enable quizzes for schools.

⌠can be shown on the IE on the screen/client without problem, but when shown thru Xibo it fails and shows the message âLost Connection to the serverâ which I guess means the Kahoot-server.
I have tried as embedded and inserting an iFrame in html. Both fails.
It is set to open natively. And the page actually shows but quickly fades to a shadowed version and a spinning âtickerâ and the message "Lost ConnectionâŚ"
Tried to upload a screen dump but Iâm a new user
You only have to read a few topics - itâs to stop the spammers uploading naughty images
It sounds a lot like some âprotectionâ built into the service itself. Open Natively means that Xibo just opens the URL in the embedded browser without making any other changes to it.
Do Kahoot have instructions for embedding on their site?
I just checked https://kahoot.uservoice.com/knowledgebase and couldnât really find anything helpful.
When I searched on the phrase âembedâ I got som wishes from users that asked for embedding codes, so I guess it doesn´t work that well when it is shown in another page, which I guess you could say is what Xibo is trying to do.
I Think we can let this question rest, as it doesnât seem to really have to do with Xibo in itself, but rather Kahoot!
I also tried to publish the link on Another screen that I have at my own office, and that one shows up fine, but canât get the pin-code needed to sign on users to the quiz. So I wonder if this is not a cookie-problemâŚ
The problem with embedding complex web applications is that its very hard to understand what they are actually doing behind the scenes. We had a similar problem recently with a web app that showed shipping lanes - the app itself was vastly complex and we just couldnât make it predictable when hosted inside a container.
That prior (painful) experience is what lead me to suggest involving Kahoot
If you have your webpage as anything other than âOpen Nativelyâ, Xibo will wrap it in an Iframe for you. Manual position is best otherwise it will try and scale it too.
