If you're still unsure, we're here to provide some insight that may help your decision. 

As you can see, they look pretty identical on the surface. 

However, let's look a little closer

JavaScript allows elements like icons and menus to expand beyond the border or frame of the player.

iFrames operates on a fixed or static height. 

When icons and menu items try to expand, they are contained within a frame; causing users to scroll to get to the items they want.

While this is only a single example, but here is a list of why we recommend choosing JavaScript over iFrame. 

• JavaScript is popularly supported by many platforms and browsers.
• JavaScript is accessibility-friendly.
• JavaScript is SEO-friendly.
• JavaScript maintains a clean style when in use.
• iFrame is not as SEO-friendly as track titles will not dynamically update if changed.
• iFrame does not maintain a clean when in use.

Why you may need to/want to use iFrame

• Your platform doesn't support JavaScript.
• Your platform charges you to use JavaScript embeds.
