A few threads on here indicate that you should be able to embed a cloud recording via an iframe in a webpage. here’s an example of that from april > [@Embed cloud recording](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/embed-cloud-recording/14822/7): > > Thanks for that update. I’m sure you’ve considered this, but of course it’ll be important that we have the option to make these embedded Zoom videos private. Many use cases will involve logged-in member-only access to the recordings. However when I tried it just now I find that it won’t let me past this view: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/1/b/1b4313633d299544326413a9ae7d17f6befbca5e.png) I attempt to enter the pass code but it seems to just reload the iframed document. Any thoughts on this? Did Zoom intentionally prevent including cloud recordings in iframes in the time that has passed since april? ---

Also tried with a video that is not password protected. Results in: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/7/0/70c008733c7f35cfcf6ad29bbbce16c3928faa0e.png) ---

Hey @willkp, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Displaying a recording via an iFrame is not currently supported. The best method to embed Zoom Recordings in your website is to first upload them to YouTube. This is detailed in the solution on that forum: > [@Embed cloud recording](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/embed-cloud-recording/14822/6): > > Hey @Itomic, @sara.banks We are working on a solution like that. In the meantime, your best bet is to upload the video to youtube and then [embed the video to your site](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en). Youtube is more optimized for embedding then the Zoom recording link. Thanks, Tommy If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #Feature Requests category. Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

The issue is the X-Frame-Options header, which is set for the registration form but not for the playback page. However, we found out that there are some issues accessing cookies for the page when it is in the iframe, and this disabled the download of the video file. And because of this it does not work. The latter was not an issue for some chrome versions and other browsers but it is an issue now. ---
