Web Content
You can either use the URL of websites or you can use the respective shared links, like on YouTube, TED or Facebook.
It is important to note that the respective website also allows integration as an iFrame. Web content can only be used offline to a limited extent - as long as the device has an Internet connection, the web content is displayed, even if the app itself is running in offline mode. Only if the device has no internet connection, the web content cannot be displayed either. In this case, a note appears instead of the web content stating that it can only be used online.
Clicking on the content type Web Content opens an overlay in which the URL of the page to be accessed must be pasted.
As soon as you have pasted the URL, a preview appears in the lower area. Click on "Save" to insert the web content into your slide.

Why can I only add certain content to my area?
This is because you have to define in the template what should be allowed in this area. If you have specified that only text may be inserted in a section, you cannot insert an image or similar in the slide. To be able to insert an image, this must be allowed in the template.
Why don't I have all editing options for my text?
This can also be due to the template. For areas with text, the editing options can still be restricted or extended. To have all options, this must be allowed in the template.
