Appian uses an HTML iframe to embed such content. I think the web development team will know what you are talking about and you can discuss solutions.

Thanks for your quick response.

Like I mentioned to Stefan Helzle (stefanhelzle0001), the site belongs to a client, I'd like to know exactly what configuration I should request them to allow me to view the content, whether it's due to CORS configuration or something else.

As mentioned in documentation "Not all content can be embedded. The best way to know if your content can be embedded or not is to test it. If it can't be embedded, the component will be empty. Some sources explicitly prevent being embedded, such as www.google.com and https://www.yahoo.com/."

Ref: Usage Considerations under https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.2/Web_Content_Component.html

So the site Appian seems under the same category and nothing cant be done.

Some web content, like Google Maps, refuses to be embedded into other websites. There is nothing you can do.
