Allow Mentimeter question screen to be embedded through HTML embed code

Mark Dittli

Currently, I can embed the presentation results screen through HTML embed code in my blog. I would like to be able to also embed the question screen, so my readers can vote without leaving my blog page.

It seems the solution below doesn't work anymore because the structure of the URLs has changed (on top of the tricky issues with iframes...)

I might've figured out a different workaround that seems to be working so far for me and my students on the Thinkific learning platform: 
Use this very basic HTML code to create an iFrame for the voting link, and adjust the settings to look good for you:
<iframe id="inlineFrameExample" title="Inline Frame Example" width="100%" height="650" src="https://www.menti.com/xxxyyy"> </iframe>
I've tried other embed codes and a lot of other workarounds, and recently, this is the only option that has worked. Mentimeter says that they do not fully support embedding of voting links at this time, but this has worked for me so give it a try...and then tell the good folks at Mentimeter that you'd like to request embedding features for voting links in the future!

Hi Mark,
If you are OK with a workaround, what you can do is to change the URL in the embed code ("https://www.mentimeter.com/s/xxxyyy") to the URL under "voting link" instead ("https://www.menti.com/xxxyyy"). This will give you the voting screen directly on the page! To make it look nice, you can change the "height" and "width" values.
Would that work for you?

Maja Jakobsson: This workaround violates the iframe Cookie Policy of Safari. So voting won't work in Safari but in other browsers.

Maja Jakobsson: It does not work. Tested Chrome + Vivaldi. You just hit button "vote" and nothing happens

Mikhail Mikhasev: Please make sure to set the allow-forms permission of the sandbox iframe. If it still does not work, check the console output. Iframes talk a lot about their needs and problems :-)
