> Hi everyone, as the purpose of this topic was to announce embed changes, we’re going to close it for further comments. However, I’m going to include many of the tips that were discussed above that helped resolved many issues. Please review these items for troubleshooting before opening a new topic. Thank you! Top troubleshooting tips Make sure you have SSL enabled for your website, this is required for embeds to function (i.e. When going to your site, “https://” is in the URL) Do not include “…

You can’t use an IP Address

`localhost` is supported for local development.

You can (probably) use a custom domain of “pi” but it’ll need to be served over SSL (those certs can be self signed however)
