Video Embedding - Dashboard Widgets
Currently, Smartsheet offers a short-list of external sources that give the ability to embed videos using the Web Content widget in a dashboard. I would love to see this list expanded to include Clipchamp, Supademo, etc.

Calendar App in Dashboard - remove list of calendars
I am embedding a calendar app into a dashboard using the web content widget.

Hi All, I've added a Calendar to a dashboard, and the first 1 or 2 rows on calendar are not displaying. I know the content on calendar is correct (confirmed when viewed outside of dashboard).

Calendar Default View
When embedding calendars on dashboards, it defaults to a 1 Month view. For users of my dashboard this is very inconvenient because they will always need to change it to 1 Week for what data we are displaying. Being able to set that up when publishing, or directly on the sheet itself, would be extremely convenient for me.
