I found a couple of old (nearly 10 years?) topics about Google Sheets previews, or lack thereof. Is there any way to have that work today? Here’s why I’m asking. In our community, we track important information in a Google Sheet. On Facebook, the preview of the linked spreadsheet in the post is ac…

On Google docs desktop, go to file → share, then publish → embed. You can then paste the generated iframe into Discourse. You must add the Google docs domain to the allowed iframe URLs in Discourse admin. The result looks like this: [Screenshot_20251216_234605_Chrome] The window remains small …

Note: the following was merged (thanks @merefield and @darkpixlz ) from another topic I just created… with the exact same question as in December. It fell through the cracks in my brain (ski accident was nearly a year ago folks, but I’m still not back in good working order for some things, clearly – …

(oooh, nasty, good luck with recovery!!! :heart:) did @Canapin ’s suggestion help any?

[image] merefield: did @Canapin ’s suggestion help any? Let’s see, it “kinda works” but the iframe is really tiny :-/ – not really useable as such I’m afraid: [Screenshot 2026-03-07 at 20.48.02] Would there be a way to fix the iframe size?
