Public embeds

Use dedicated public embed links when you want an interactive wheel inside an iframe-capable page or tool.

Import / export FAQ

Embed URL

A wheel owner can enable embedding from Public links. The embed URL uses the existing public share code on the dedicated iframe route:

https://bigspinningwheel.com/embed/{code}

The public link must be active and embedding must be enabled. Production iframe parent pages must use HTTPS. Private, deleted, disabled, or embed-disabled wheels fail closed with a generic unavailable view.

Iframe snippet

<iframe
  title="Big Spinning Wheel embed: My wheel"
  src="https://bigspinningwheel.com/embed/{code}"
  width="800"
  height="800"
  allow="fullscreen"
  style="border: 0; background: transparent;"></iframe>

Use a square frame such as 800x800 or 1000x1000 as a starting point, then scale the iframe in the HTTPS host page or tool.

URL options

Parameter Value Behavior
chrome 0 Shows a stricter wheel-only overlay while keeping the wheel and result visible.
obsSceneAutoSpin 1 When loaded in OBS Browser Source, starts a spin after OBS reports that the scene became active.
obsSceneAutoSpinDelayMs 0 to 60000 Delay before the OBS scene-active spin. Malformed values are ignored and valid values are clamped to the safe range.

OBS options are URL-only. They are not saved to the wheel, and Big Spinning Wheel does not read or store OBS scene names.

OBS Browser Source

  1. Enable the wheel's public link, then enable embedding.
  2. In Public links, use the OBS Browser Source options if you want scene activation to start a spin automatically.
  3. Copy the generated embed link.
  4. In OBS, add a Browser Source and paste the embed link directly as the browser-source URL.
  5. Start with a square source such as 800x800 or 1000x1000.
  6. Switch to the scene and test the delay before going live.

Live-spin public mode can start a public live spin. Practice-only mode starts a local practice spin. View-only mode, empty wheels, and in-progress spins do nothing.

Zoom Whiteboard

  1. Create or open a Zoom Whiteboard.
  2. Choose More Tools, then Embed Content to open the iFrame widget.
  3. Paste the Big Spinning Wheel iframe snippet from Public links.
  4. Click Embed, then position or resize the embedded wheel on the canvas.

Zoom controls the Whiteboard embed surface and account eligibility. See Zoom's iFrame widget documentation for current requirements and controls.

Safety notes

  • Embed links expose public wheel content in the host page or tool.
  • The host page or tool controls the surrounding page, recording, tracking, access controls, and notices. Big Spinning Wheel controls only the iframe document it serves.
  • OBS, Zoom, and other host tools are third-party services. Big Spinning Wheel is not affiliated with or endorsed by those services, and embed support or compatibility may change.
  • Owner-only editor, account, and admin controls are not part of embed mode.
  • Normal public share links remain frame-protected; use /embed/{code} for iframes.
  • OBS Browser Source loads the embed URL directly. It does not need the iframe snippet.
  • OBS options do not automate chat, channel points, donations, giveaways, prize handling, or compliance workflows.
