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

FAQ
Can I embed Office 365 spreadsheets?
Yes. Microsoft 365 (Office 365) Excel tables can also be embedded with the Website plugin. Go to File > Share > Embed. In the window that opens, click Generate, and copy the URL inside the src=“” parameter of the embed code that is shown.
Can I customize the look and feel of the embedded table?
Google doesn’t offer options to change the look, but a product called Awesome Table gives you more customization options.
How to display specific cells?
To display a specific cell range, publish only one sheet of the document. In the “Publish to web” dialog, deselect “Entire document” and make sure only a single sheet is selected.
Once you have selected the sheet, you should see a URL like this:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRs4_Mn9efvvzTMYSB6is2IhURXp45aeDGImPHixMuJ0OkQ1OvwuHhPB2MjHHVneYMGZ4U_a-GzE4vG/pubhtml?gid=0&single=trueIn this example, we use the range from cell A1 to B2, so we add this parameter to the end of the URL:
&range=A1:B2The final URL that needs to be used in the website plugin becomes:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRs4_Mn9efvvzTMYSB6is2IhURXp45aeDGImPHixMuJ0OkQ1OvwuHhPB2MjHHVneYMGZ4U_a-GzE4vG/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true&range=A1:B2
