@NachfolgerJun 03.2020 — If the URL contains a parameter "type" which equals "embed", call postMessage.

@Mandriva99authorJun 03.2020 — Thanks, appreciate the reply. I did read those, I think what i'm not understanding is what is actually meant by "type" & "embed"

@KeverJun 03.2020 — The part /type=embed/gi is a regular expression. It's doing a global case-insensitive search for the string "type=embed".

For modern browsers you could write document.location.includes("type=embed");

Success!
