Yes @muneer but this is not the correct file. I made a project and enabled video call feature . In that , you have to copy the embed link. I have not used the plain site.

The idea is to show that you can twist the system to make it work.

However, I would not suggest the approach I took because it actually compromise a security policy that is enforced by the website.

It’s called X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy.

If you think the tweaking you did will benefit others facing similar situations, it would be good to mention it.

I’m not sure of any legal implications and I would think not because chrome has a plugin that does just that

> **[Ignore X-Frame headers](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ignore-x-frame-headers/gleekbfjekiniecknbkamfmkohkpodhe)**

So you mean i can use it freely because of this extension(do i need to download it?)  
Also , as the source website is giving the embed code freely

If the website is using something similar to YouTube then this solves your problem.

YouTube does not allow the shared URL to be accessed in iframes but it allows embedded URL to be used in iframes.

Yes , so i think it would be legal because enablex specifies that i can use the embed code. Thank you for your time @muneer. really appreciate it 😃
