A glass for a source. Not a player.

Iframe embeds an https page — a source, doc, citation, or tool. Load a URL from the clipboard. It has no jacks. Anything that plays belongs on Video.

Component Guide product shot: A glass for a source. Not a player.

What it is

A framed https page on the floor. Title and an optional note sit on the plate. Load pastes a URL from the clipboard. You can size the glass by hand. There are no jacks — no text, no video, no ai. The Frame is a window, not a cable source.

How to use it

Drop a Frame. Copy an https link. Hit Load. Use it for docs, tools, and citations that allow embedding. YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, and mp4 belong on Video — that widget converts watch links itself. Reddit, X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, GitHub, and Google block frames; they render dead glass. Link those elsewhere and keep a TapeDoc for the quote.

What to patch next

The Frame stays unpatched. Drop Video when the URL plays. Pal.text → TapeDoc.text to write from what you are looking at. A StickyPad for a citation you will rip onto the floor.

Questions

Why is the glass blank?
The host blocks embedding, or the URL is empty. Load an https page that allows frames. Players go on Video.
Can I patch the page into a TapeDoc?
No. Frame has no text out. Type the cite on a Doc, or ask Pal while the Frame sits next to it.
Should I iframe a YouTube watch link?
Use Video. Frame is for pages. Video converts watch links and actually plays.
