Website

HTML code
If you have an HTML code snippet, paste it into the code pop-up. Where to find widgets?
Pre-load website
The player starts loading the plugin 15 seconds before it is displayed, so the website has already loaded when the slide is shown. If the website you want to display has some load animation or video set to autoplay, you can disable this option so that the animation does not run while the plugin is pre-loading.
Enable scrolling
By default, scrolling is disabled so that the scroll bar is not visible. If you want users to interact with the site, you can enable scrolling.
Refresh periodically
The website is refreshed every time the slide is shown, but you can set a refresh interval to refresh it more often.
Refresh Interval Seconds
Set how many seconds between refreshes
Zoom
Depending on how the website is built, it may render differently on certain devices. By adjusting zoom, you can make the page fit better.
Positioning
Manually adjust the placement of the plugin pixel by pixel.
Sizing
Manually adjust the size of the plugin pixel by pixel
