Most offices block embedded object access, but don't worry, we've got you covered! This document will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to deal with this problem.
Step 1: Identify Blocked Access
The first step is to identify that the problem lies with your office blocking the embedded object. You can use the Developer Tools in Chrome to help you with that. Go to the Network tab in Developer Tools and reload the page. Look at the list of requests. If you can’t see the resource you expect there, it may be blocked.
Step 2: Set Up a VPN
If you’ve identified that your office is blocking the embedded object, the next step is to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN). VPNs allow you to access sites and services that may otherwise be blocked. There are many different VPNs on the market, so do shop around to find one that meets your needs.
Step 3: Clear Your Cache
Once you’ve set up your VPN, the next step is to clear your cache. Your browser may be caching old versions of the page and not loading the latest updates. To clear your cache, first open up the Chrome Developer Tools. Then in Developer Tools, press the “Clear Cache” button.
Step 4: Check Your Settings
The last step is to double check your browser settings. Make sure that pop-up blockers and ad blockers are disabled, as they may be preventing the embedded objects from loading.
