From 16 March 2026, OxTalks has been replaced by Oxford Events. New events will no longer be rendered via a Feed. Instead, you create a new application under Manage Content > Embedded applications. 

Getting started: for sites which didn't previously use OxTalks you will need to request embedded web apps to be enabled for your site.

Creating and embedding: full instructions are provided on the Digital-Halo Quick reference guide

An example embed is provided on Pattern Book
