Embedded labs
Embedded labs: a live product experience on every page
Embedded labs are hands-on Instruqt labs, real sandbox included, that run inside your docs, website, or LMS. Users press play where they already are. No install, no redirect, no lost momentum.

HOW IT WORKS
Bring the real product to your user
One embed code turns any page into a live, isolated environment running your product. You control what the user sees, what they do, and where they go next.
01 · BUILD
Embed hands-on labs anywhere you publish
Build the content once and place it where users are: docs, landing pages, your LMS. Copy the embed code into your site's code editor or LMS and the lab renders in place. The user presses play. Nothing to install.
One embed code for websites, docs, and LMS platforms
Real sandboxes: a cloud sandbox environment with containers, Kubernetes, Terraform, or a disposable cloud environment on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud

02 · CONNECT
Keep the experience on-brand, start to finish
Add your own buttons, choose whether the page list appears on the splash screen, and turn feedback prompts off where they don't belong. At the end, a completion component carries your message, so the user's next step is the one you chose: signup, docs, or sales.
Custom buttons and splash-screen control per embed
Feedback prompts on or off, per embed
Completion component: your message, button, and destination link

03 · VALIDATE
Convert hands-on signals into qualified leads
Capture a name and email before the lab starts and route the contact to your CRM. Diagrid syncs leads into HubSpot; SUSE's forms fed its CRM. Feedback components on any page roll up into a per-lab happiness score, so you know which pages landed and which need work.

THE DIFFERENCE
The Instruqt Difference Version control that teams can actually review.
Instruqt does not add another place to manage lab content. It brings lab definitions under the same control as your code.
The traditional approach
A quickstart that says "install the CLI first" and hopes the user returns.
A "try it" button that opens a separate portal with its own login.
Pageviews and watch time as the only evidence anyone engaged.
With Instruqt Embedded Labs
A live lab inside the quickstart, environment already running when the user arrives.
The lab renders in your page. Nobody leaves your website.
Name and email at the start, feedback at the end, leads in your CRM.

Turn documentation traffic into qualified pipeline
Docs and tutorial traffic already shows intent. An embedded lab turns that intent into a contact your team can follow up with.
Capture name and email before the lab starts, then sync to your CRM
Diagrid generated hundreds of qualified leads in 3 months
SUSE says leads captured through Instruqt are more engaged and informed

Let developers evaluate without installing anything
Developers evaluate by doing. Give them a working environment on the page where they're reading, with nothing to set up first.
Put a working environment next to the tutorial it belongs to

Give prospects a working environment, not a walkthrough
Sales teams spend hours building demo environments per prospect. An embedded lab is already running when the prospect opens the page.
Prospects run the product in a real sandbox with no setup on their side
Guided pages and tasks keep the demo on the path you chose
A completion component routes them to a next step with sales

Deliver labs inside the LMS customers already use
Customers already log in to your LMS. Put the hands-on lab there, and send completion data back through LTI.

“In less than a year on Instruqt we’ve gone from one workshop to over 25 labs, with the same small team of sales engineers. Instead of ten workshops at 25 attendees each, we run one and reach 400 customers at a time.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is a lab running on my public website a security risk?
No. Each learner gets their own isolated sandbox (see virtual IT labs), destroyed when the lab ends. Nothing runs on your web server; the embed is a snippet that renders the lab from Instruqt. Your product runs in that sandbox, never in your production environment, and the user never touches your infrastructure.
Can I embed a lab in an LMS, not just a web page?
Yes. Paste the same embed code into your Learning Management System and the lab runs there. If you need progress and completion data flowing back into the LMS, the LTI integration sends it. Read more about embedding hands-on labs.
What happens to labs I already embedded when I move to 2.0?
They keep working. The legacy product is supported until 27 September 2027 and there is no forced migration, so an embed already live on your site does not break at GA. You move labs to 2.0 at your own pace.
Do users need to install software or plugins to run an embedded lab?
No. The lab runs in the browser. Your user clicks a link or presses play and works in a sandbox Instruqt hosts. There is nothing to download, no plugin, no local runtime, and no account on your infrastructure.
