// quick answer

If a Genially embed shows a picture, a blank frame or opens in a new tab, the host usually restricts iframes or the embed code is too long. Use a plain iframe or a link button.

Most likely fix: Use a simple iframe

How to fix it

// try these in order, the most common fix is first

  1. FIX 1Use a simple iframe

    1. 01Copy only the iframe src URL from the share dialog

    3. 03Check the URL is not duplicated or truncated
    Did this fix it?
  2. FIX 2Check sharing and privacy

    1. 01Open the Genially share options
    2. 02Make sure it is published and set to allow viewing by link
