Please note that an embedded Google Form does not work as well on mobile devices & tablet than if you simply provided a link on your site to the form. Additionally, there are some potential tweaks you may have to make to fix any height issues when embedding, as noted at the bottom of this article.
- From your Google Drive, click the name of your desired Google Form to open the editor interface.
- In the toolbar at the top of the form, click 'File' and then select the 'Embed' option.
- Copy the text from the box that appears.
- Next, from the Site Dashboard of your sites.umbc.edu site, edit the page where you want the form to be shown.
- Switch to the 'Text' tab at the top of the editor and paste in the Embed text you copied from the Google Form page earlier.
- Switch back to 'Visual' mode, and you will see a placeholder where your form will reside.
Save the page, and you're done!
If the embedded form includes a scrollbar when viewing your page, you can fix this by going back to step 3 and changing the 'Height' in the box to a larger value. Then, complete the rest of the steps outlined above, replacing the previously added HTML with the new snippet.
