• Secure embed - Support for third-party cookies - Authentication via Pop-up (Available in Video Portal) - To better support instances with IDPs that do not allow the auth page to be loaded in an iFrame, we've updated the flow for configuring autoRedirectIframe (set to “no” to open the auth in a new tab).
  
  Previously, this flow could break due to third-party cookies being blocked or incorrect referrer settings. With this update, authentication will now occur in a pop-up. This resolves both issues, ensuring that users with blocked third-party cookies can log in directly from the page where the embed is located. (KMS-30433)
