Sharing a batch and embedding it on your site

The public link, what viewers can and cannot do with it, and how to put a live batch inside your own web page with an iframe.


Every batch has a public link. Copy it from the Share button in the editor. Anyone with that link can open the batch on any device, without an account and without being invited.

What people with the link can do

They can view it, and that is all. Viewers cannot edit, add or remove anything - editing needs either your account or an editor link that you issue deliberately.

The page updates itself. Someone who opened the link an hour ago and left the tab open is seeing the current state right now, without refreshing.

Turning public access off

If a batch should not be reachable by link, switch off public access in its settings. Existing links stop working immediately.

Treat anything in a public batch as published: names, images and numbers on a public page can be seen by anyone with the link and, in principle, by search engines.

Embedding it in your own page

Embedding puts the live batch inside a page you control - a website, a blog post, a fundraising campaign page, a class portal.

Copy the embed snippet from the Share panel and paste it into your page's HTML. It looks like this:

<iframe
  src="https://example.com/embed/your-share-slug"
  width="100%"
  height="600"
  style="border:0"
  loading="lazy"
></iframe>

The embedded copy updates in real time exactly like the link does.

Options

  • ?hideTitle=1 on the embed URL hides the batch's title block, for when your page already has its own heading above the frame.
  • Set height to something taller than you think you need. An iframe does not grow to fit its contents, so a batch with many codes will scroll inside a short frame.

If the embed shows an upgrade message

Embedding is a paid feature on some plans. The frame will say so rather than failing silently, so an embedder can tell the difference between "not allowed" and "broken".

Putting it on a TV or a stream

You do not need the embed for this - open the public link in any browser on the screen and go full-screen. For live streams, use the same public URL as a browser source in your streaming software; it keeps itself up to date without you switching scenes.

Still stuck? Start a batch and try it — it takes about a minute and you do not need an account.
