Embed My

Check that an H5P file plays, right in your browser.

Embed My plays an H5P package (.h5p) from a link, with nothing to install, and says what the player found: the content type and licence, whether the libraries were in the file, and whether the host serves it in a way browsers can use. It is for authors, teachers and developers who want to know a package works before they upload it to an LMS or share it.

As a free extra, it also writes an iframe snippet to show the activity on a public page. That comes with no guarantees: see What it is not.

1. An .h5p package. Exports from H5P.com and h5p.org usually leave the libraries out; Embed My adds them from the H5P hub's library set as the activity loads, so those play too. See Preparing and hosting packages.
2. A public https:// link to it. Embed My keeps no copy, so the .h5p has to sit on a web host that serves it to browsers on other sites (a header called CORS). Google Drive and OneDrive share links do not; the free hosts below do, and the hosting guide has the steps for each.

For the optional snippet you also need a page served over https:// where you can paste HTML.

Checked on 9 October 2026; the guide has the steps for each. Google Drive and OneDrive share links do not work.

1. Open embed-my.org, paste the direct link to your .h5p file and press Check.
2. Watch it play, and read what the player found under the preview. A package that plays here will very likely play in an LMS too; an LMS can run older libraries or changes of its own, so try it there before a lesson.
3. Optionally, set a title and the display options, copy the snippet, paste it into a public page's HTML block, and open the page in a private window to check it.

Use the exact code Embed My generates. The snippet points at embed-my.github.io, not at embed-my.org, so an embed does not depend on that domain.

• Not a service with guarantees. It is a free tool kept by one person, with no service agreement. Embeds are meant to keep working, but nothing promises it.
• Not ready for a data-protection review. A snippet makes each visitor's browser contact GitHub and keeps the player's files on the device; there is no data-processing agreement to sign. Many schools and companies cannot accept that under their data-protection rules. For their pages, run the player on a host they control. See Privacy and security.
• Not file hosting. Your package stays on your host; Embed My only points at it.
• Not a gradebook. No learner records, and scores reach no LMS.
• Not saved progress. Reloading the page starts the activity over.
• Not for private material. The package link is visible in your page's HTML, so treat the file as public.

All three are MIT. The player inside the frame is h5p-offline-player, an open-source, browser-only H5P player by the same author: it reads the .h5p archive in the browser through a Service Worker, with no server-side extraction.

The player's repository ships agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex and the rest. h5p-verify plays a package in a real H5P runtime in a headless browser and reports start-up, errors, missing libraries and a screenshot: the same check as embed-my.org, without a link. The others make a package's video start at once (h5p-normalize) and put the player on a site of your own (h5p-player-setup).

The player is MIT. The H5P core runtime it loads inside the frame comes from h5p-php-library and is GPL-3.0, published as @missing-elements/h5p-runtime; its licence and notices are served beside it, and the player's NOTICE.md gives the full account. The content inside a package carries its own licence, which the Rights of use button shows when the toolbar is on.

Embed My is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by H5P Group. “H5P” is a trademark of H5P Group.

Open an issue where the problem lives: the activity not playing or playing wrong is the player, h5p-offline-player; the snippet, the preview, the page or the guides are the website; the frame itself or the sizing script is the player origin.
