  6. Set the trigger method.
    7. Press F: This option causes the portal to only trigger when a user presses F.

⚠️
Placing a link or opening a new window may not be possible in the following situations:
  • The URL link is an HTTP address.
  • The original site blocks embedding.

As many websites do not allow web embedding, we recommend using the "Open website in a new tab" function instead.
