Step 3: Type the URL of the website into the field (4).
Step 4: Click Preview (5). Alternatively, press ENTER to load and preview the web content within the dialog.
Step 5: Specify scrolling and scaling behaviors (6) for the object as follows:
- Scrolling: Allow adding vertical and/or horizontal scroll bar to view the rest of the content.
- Disable Scaling: Keep the embedded content the same when scaling a slide. For example, when zooming and panning in the AutoFit mode of the presentation.
Step 6: Click OK (7) to finish.

Now, if you want to save and reuse the object, select Add to Template (8) to hold the object in the Object Templates.
To resize the web object, drag the resizing handles to the desired. In case you aren’t satisfied with the change and want to go back to the original size, right-click the object > Restore Original Size (9).
In addition, you can also update the thumbnail to the latest thumbnail by right-clicking the object > Update Thumbnail (10).
Also, you can Lock (11) the object, Lock Size, and Position (12) or Hide (13) it on the slide.
If you want to change a web object, select it and go to its Properties pane > Size & Properties > Web Object > Edit.
Note: Web object only works in HTML5 output, in other outputs, it will be exported as an image.
