iframe component

Hi everyone,

I downloaded and started to use this component Power Apps iFrame Component - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)(thank you April and Yash Agarwal!) to embed iFrame in my canvas app. It works fine, with some VS changes it resizes and works properly. The problem comes with the source, here are some attempts:

SharePoint as a source, it works fine:

A web ("https://www.gazzetta.it/")

Another web, this one doesn't work ("https://www.google.com/")

Last one, doesn't work either, it's an SAC, SAP Analytics Cloud link (cloud). All permissions are granted since I can see the content directly via browser:

As you can guess, my real goal is to embed the last one in the canvas app. Why does this happen? Why does it happen in a website like www.google.com? Is there a solution/workaround for this?

Thank you so much in advance.

Many websites, Google included, prevent you from rendering their content in an IFrame so you can't 'steal' their content and put it on your page.

Hi cchannon, thanks for your quick response.

Does that mean there is no workaround for this? I mean, seems a little bit silly to be able to access information (SAC) via any web browser and at the same time to be forbidden to see the same information using a viewer…

There is no reasonable workaround to this. You could create your own site that pulls the content as though in a normal browser window, scrapes the HTML, removes the DENY or SAME-ORIGIN parameters, and re-presents it as a page on a different URL, but that is pretty shady and definitely not what the site owner wants you to do.
