To set up an iframe in Webflow without the need for an iframe scrollbar, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add an Embed element to your Webflow project. You can find the Embed element under the Components section in the Elements panel.

  2. Once you've added the Embed element to your page, double-click to open the Embed settings.

  3. In the Embed settings, you'll see a code field where you can enter the HTML code for your iframe. Paste your iframe code in this field.

  4. To make the iframe content fit within the Embed element without a scrollbar, you'll need to apply some custom CSS.

  5. Go to the Styles panel, and make sure the Embed element is selected.

  6. Create a new class for the Embed element by clicking on the "+" button next to the class selector field.

  7. In the new class settings, go to the "Custom Code" tab.

  8. In the "Add Custom CSS" field, enter the following code:

.embed-container {  position: relative;  padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* Set the aspect ratio of your iframe content */  height: 0;  overflow: hidden;}.embed-container iframe {  position: absolute;  top: 0;  left: 0;  width: 100%;  height: 100%;}
  1. Make sure to replace embed-container with the appropriate class name you've assigned to your Embed element.

  2. Adjust the padding-bottom value to match the aspect ratio you want for your iframe content. For example, if you want a 16:9 aspect ratio, use 56.25% (calculated as 9 / 16 * 100).

  3. Save your changes, and you should now have an iframe within the Embed element that fits without the need for a scrollbar.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the entire content of the iframe is shown within your Webflow project without the need for an iframe scrollbar.

Note: If the content within the iframe is larger than the Embed element's dimensions, you may still experience a scrollbar. In that case, you may need to adjust the height of the Embed element or the dimensions of the iframe to accommodate the content.
