Update (August 17, 2018) - This post originally stated that you could embed a G+ search results page in Sites. This was incorrect, so we’ve updated the post to reflect that embedding a search results page isn’t supported yet.We’re working to expand the page types supported, so keep an eye on the G Suite Updates blog to hear when we add new functionality. We’re making it easier to embed Google+ streams in the new Google Sites. This feature is a top request from users who want to create more interactive and engaging sites. The launch will help you:
- Increase the social aspect of sites. Users can see all the posts, photos, comments, and other content that they’d see with the full G+ experience.
- Enable free-flowing communication. Users can add comments, +1s, and more to the G+ content directly from the site.
- Keep content fresh. Users can avoid duplicate content management by having G+ updates appear automatically in sites.
How embedded G+ streams work You can embed many types of G+ post streams in your Google Sites pages. Specifically, you can embed a top-level community page, a community category page, a collection page, or a G+ profile. Formatting of the G+ embed will automatically adjust to the width you set. Once it’s embedded, users can interact with posts just as they can on the full G+ experience.
Permissions to see and interact with the stream are determined by whether users can see the content in G+. So if you embed from a private G+ community, only members of that community will be able to see the content on the site.
See our Help Center for more details on
how to embed G+ streams in Google Sites.
