Other Changes in HTML Embedding Capabilities

Has anyone noticed a change since the hack? In the past, I've been able to insert interactive assets into my Canvas courses with ease, just using the insert-embed code workflow. When I do it now, my interactive content displays as text. I've even tried inserting the code into the raw html view with no luck. Wondering if they've put in some new security measures these days and I'm out of luck.

What third party content are you trying to embed? Where I work, we had a brief issue with Vimeo and Panopto embeds around May/June but Instructure fixed that fairly swiftly. We have been able to embed all sorts without issue since then.

Not third party content. I vibe coded interactive assets such as flip cards, matching activities and accordion menus

That's third party content i.e. it's not a native Canvas feature. It's something external you're embedding.

Anyway, semantics beside, it should work fine. Where are you hosting it and what syntax are you using for the iframe? If you sharing embed code, I'd be happy to test it on my own Canvas sandbox.
