Question 1

What is IFramer?

Accepted Answer

IFramer is a free dashboard rotator that runs entirely in your browser. It cycles up to 100 dashboards or web pages full-screen on a timer, with transitions, saved presets, and shareable kiosk links that start playback automatically. It is ideal for wall-mounted monitors and office TVs.

Question 2

Why does my dashboard show 'refused to connect' in an iframe?

Accepted Answer

The site you are embedding sends an X-Frame-Options header or a Content-Security-Policy frame-ancestors directive that tells browsers not to render it inside an iframe. This is a server-side policy enforced by the browser; no client-side tool can override it. For dashboards you control, fix it on the dashboard's server by allowlisting IFramer's origin with a frame-ancestors directive, for example: Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' https://www.iframer.net.

Question 3

Does IFramer work with internal or VPN-only dashboards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. IFramer has no backend: every dashboard is loaded directly by your own browser. If your machine can reach a dashboard (on an intranet, behind a VPN, or on localhost), IFramer can rotate it. Your URLs and data never pass through any third-party server.

Question 4

Can IFramer rotate Grafana or Kibana dashboards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Grafana embeds after setting allow_embedding = true in grafana.ini (and, if you use CSP, allowlisting the IFramer origin in frame-ancestors). Kibana and most BI tools also support iframe embedding, often with dedicated embed or share links.

Question 5

How do shareable kiosk links work?

Accepted Answer

Your whole playlist (URLs, order, and timing) is encoded into the link itself, so nothing is stored on a server. Open a kiosk link on any machine and playback starts immediately, which makes setting up a wall display as simple as opening a bookmark.

Question 6

Is IFramer free, and do I need to sign in?

Accepted Answer

IFramer is completely free and requires no account. An optional Google sign-in is available to namespace saved presets on shared machines, but without it the app runs fully anonymous.
