How to Embed a Microsoft Sway Presentation on a Wix Website
Question details
The user needs to know the correct method for inserting and displaying a Microsoft Sway presentation on a webpage built with Wix.
- Product
- Microsoft Sway and Wix
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Integrating a presentation into a website to display content to visitors
- Observed behavior
- The user is seeking the exact steps to generate the embed code from Sway and successfully place it into a Wix site using an HTML element.
Ensure that your Microsoft Sway sharing permissions are set to 'Anyone with a link' so that visitors to your Wix website can view the embedded presentation without needing to log in.
Use the Wix HTML Embed Element
This is the standard method for integrating external widgets and presentations by copying the iframe code from Microsoft Sway and pasting it directly into the Wix editor.
Open your Microsoft Sway presentation. Click the 'Share' button located in the top-right corner of the screen, choose the 'Get embed code' option, and copy the provided iframe code to your clipboard.
Log into your Wix account and open your site in the Wix Editor. Click the '+' (Add Elements) button on the left sidebar, navigate to 'Embed Code', and click on 'Embed HTML' to add the widget to your page.
Click 'Enter Code' above the newly added HTML element. Paste your Sway embed code into the text box and click 'Update'. You can then drag the edges of the box to adjust the presentation's size on your web page.
Create Stunning Presentations with WPS Office
If you are looking to design professional slideshows without relying on web-only platforms, WPS Presentation is a powerful, lightweight, and free alternative to Microsoft Office. It offers seamless migration, robust editing tools, and offline access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my embedded Sway presentation displaying an error on Wix?
This is typically caused by incorrect sharing settings in Sway. Return to Microsoft Sway, click 'Share', and ensure the permission is set to 'Anyone with a link'. If it's set to 'Those in your organization', external website visitors will see an error.
Can I resize the Sway presentation after embedding it?
Yes, you can manually adjust the width and height attributes directly within the copied iframe code before applying it in Wix, or simply drag the sizing handles of the HTML embed element within the Wix Editor to fit your page layout.
Does Wix require a premium plan to use the HTML embed code?
No, the standard HTML embed element is available to all Wix users, including those on free plans. However, custom code injected into the site's header or footer does require a premium plan, but that is not necessary for embedding a Sway presentation on a specific page.
