Best Fit

This option will embed the webpage in an iframe where users can specify the dimensions required.

NOTE: Manual Position and Best Fit options will not work with websites that set the X-Frame-Options header. If you are unable to see the webpage use the Open Natively option when using Windows / Linux or Android.

If X-Frame-Options are set then webOS and Tizen will not work in any mode!

If X-Frame-Options are not set then the website should show in any of the Players, using any of the above options.

Use this X-Frame-Options Header Checker Tool to see if the header has been set for the webpage you wish to target.
