Hey Eli, to embed a page into the site,
1.
Go to the Tightknit Slack app
2.
Find Navigation under Companion Site
3.
Put in the following: Your Page Title | example.com | the-url-slug
That should allow you to embed the webpage

As for your question on YouTube videos, you can use our existing Events framework to upload old videos of events to allow them to show up on the events page in the past as recordings. Check out this as an example https://community.gamma.app/events?events_list.view=past

Yes you can embed an external page within your site using the feature described here: https://docs.tightknit.ai/companion-site/navigation#internal-link-embedded-page

the following configuration will create a navigation item with the label “Terms of Service” that will open the embedded page at the URL: https://<your-site>/p/terms-of-service. This page will contain an embedded iframe with the contents of the URL https://example.com.
the user will be able to interact with the course in slack without opening a new web page?

Oh, sorry, I didn't read the part on slack! I thought you meant on the companion site. So you are asking if it is possible to embed external web pages within Slack itself? No, that is not possible.

It sounds like you want a Slack-native Learning Management System (LMS). Correct me if I'm wrong. Tightknit doesn't offer a LMS solution at the moment, but we have discussed this as a possibility.

Eli A.
·

Could you tell me more about where exactly in Slack you want to embed these videos?
Eli A.
·
·
the goal of the community is to get everyone in and watching the courses on how to best use the product but sending them to a bunch of different places can confuse people
Eli A.
·
·
pinned under courses then have a bunch of different courses

And this collection of youtube videos will grow over time?
