About: Web Browser & Intranet Embed

Vibe's Web Browser and Intranet Embed channels allow organisations to display Vibe playlists directly within web-based platforms like SharePoint using a secure link or embed code. This allows you to add dynamic, visual content alongside existing intranet pages—so employees see key messages where they already go for information.

Content is managed centrally in Vibe and updates automatically wherever it’s embedded, with no additional software required.

When to use Vibe's Web Browser or Intranet Embed Channels

These Vibe Channels work well as part of a broader multi‑channel strategy, reinforcing messages seen on digital signage, desktop channels, or mobile devices. They are best used when you want to:

• Enhance intranet pages with dynamic visual content
• Reinforce key messages alongside written articles
• Reach employees who primarily work in web browser‑based tools
• Reduce reliance on emails and static intranet banners
  
  

Example use case

An organisation wants to improve visibility of internal announcements on its SharePoint intranet homepage.

The communications team creates a Vibe playlist featuring leadership messages, wellbeing reminders, and upcoming events.

This playlist is embedded directly into the SharePoint homepage. As content is updated in Vibe, the embedded playlist automatically refreshes—ensuring employees always see the latest messaging without requiring manual page updates. This helps increase message visibility while keeping the intranet clean and current.

Key Benefits

1. Visual content embedded directly into intranet pages is more likely to be noticed than text alone.
2. Messages appear inside platforms employees already use, reducing friction and effort.
3. Content is updated once in Vibe and reflected everywhere it is embedded.
4. The same playlist can be embedded across multiple intranet pages, dashboards, or internal sites.
5. Employees only need a supported web browser to view embedded content.

Content Supported

Content viewed through Vibe's Web Browser and Intranet Embed Channels automatically adapts to browser‑based viewing and supports Vibes full Template library, including:

1. News, Events, Training, Social Media, Recognition
2. Media Image and Video content
   
3. Infotainment streams
   
4. Integrated data such as SharePoint or Power BI

FAQ

Can the same playlist be embedded in multiple places?

Yes. A single Vibe playlist can be reused and embedded across multiple intranet pages, dashboards, or internal websites. This ensures consistent messaging while reducing content duplication.

Can I control the size and layout of the embedded playlist?

The size and layout of the embedded content are controlled by the page or platform where it is placed (e.g. SharePoint).

Vibe content will adapt to the available space, but for best results, ensure:

1. The embed area matches your intended aspect ratio (e.g. 16:9)
   
2. There is enough space for content to display clearly
   

If the container is too small or constrained, content may appear compressed or less readable.

Will embedded content affect page load performance?

Embedded playlists are loaded via the browser, so performance depends on:

• The user’s internet connection
• The complexity of the content (e.g. video vs static images)
• The hosting intranet platform

In most cases, performance is minimal impact, but pages with multiple embeds or heavy media content may load more slowly.

Can I embed different playlists on different pages?

Yes. Each embed uses a unique link or code tied to a specific playlist. This allows you to:

• Tailor content to different departments or audiences
• Display different messaging across multiple intranet pages
• Manage all content centrally while targeting specific contexts

Is access to embedded content restricted or secure?

Embedded playlists are delivered via a secure link. Access depends on how the link is configured and where it is embedded. For internal use:

• Content is typically only visible within your organisation’s intranet environment
• Access controls are managed at the platform level (e.g. SharePoint permissions)

If needed, access can be further restricted depending on your setup.

What happens if a user leaves the page open for a long time?

Embedded playlists will continue to play and refresh automatically based on the Vibe playlist configuration. This means:

• Content rotates continuously
• Updates made in Vibe will appear without needing a page refresh (depending on caching and browser behaviour)

For best results, users should periodically refresh long-lived sessions to ensure the latest content is loaded.
