Iā€™ve been away, so this is a tardy announcement! šŸ˜‰ The webview component allows you to embed web pages/assets directly in your app. Add a link, choose the viewport size and decide whether you want users to be able to scroll or not. Now you can put Glide in Glideā€¦! ![Webview](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/6168f61fc89e79d31ad32d0a4ae56fa435eea438.gif) ---

Thanks for this! Iā€™d been trying to find a way to embed a 360 spherical image and nothing had worked - but this component does the trick. (I use Momento360 to host the images.) ---

Yes, but from a button you go to the default browser and exit the app. I prefer that it stay within the app. ---

The ā€˜web viewā€™ action on a button does not leave the app, however the ā€˜open linkā€™ action will. ---

@JackVaughan ā€“ frankly, and with a large respect: I paid for the pro app; want to use webview component and, while testing several urls, I have received errors, either ā€œthis content is blockedā€¦ā€ or ā€œā€¦ may not allow itself to be embeddedā€¦ā€ etc. ā€“ yes, I see the note in documentation about sites ā€œpreventing themselvesā€ from being embeddedā€¦ - so what do I need to do to allow the site to be embedded? line of code? it will be helpful to know - thank you!! ---

It is the block from the website and Glide canā€™t do much about this, as I understand. ---

Thanks @ThinhDinh - I understand ā€“ however what type of block? just for my own sanity sake Iā€™ve tested secure and non-secure sites (those without https fail 100%, with https randomly) ā€” google-hosted or google sites fail ā€“ so whatā€™s the commonality here? Out of pure curiosity, Iā€™d want to double check and perhaps even research it before Iā€™d offer a vague statement in docs AND: Iā€™m frankly quite ticked off at this, especially that it is advertised as a pro option ā€¦ ---

Glide can perhaps handle the failure better and thatā€™s what Iā€™ve asked for. > [@Catch Webview failures and hide component](https://community.glideapps.com/t/catch-webview-failures-and-hide-component/14404): > > Webview is a great component - really slick and coolā€¦when it works. In my testing, I find that most sites are not allowing themselves to be embedded. The error handling is also not great. It says ā€œThis site may not allow itself to be embeddedā€ā€¦which is fine. But then it says ā€œTry Againā€ā€¦so weā€™re basically telling the user to keep at it and keep failing. I also understand that it may say try again because the url was entered improperly. I suggest a better way to handle webview failure, if possibā€¦ ---

Iā€™m not entirely sure that webview would work with a Glide App, probably you can contact support to ask about that, or try a whole new empty app to see if it indeed doesnā€™t work. ---
