Make anything clickable

Hotspots

Make any element on the canvas interactive — including buttons, images, text, or even an invisible area of the screen.

Hover text

Tooltips

Provide contextual information on demand without cluttering the screen. Tooltips are pop-up labels that appear when the user moves their mouse over a hotspot – or focuses on it with their keyboard.

Information chunking

Pop-up windows

Windows, a.k.a. modals or overlays, give you heaps of creative possibilities. Dive deeper into the topic, provide extra content on demand, or hide a surprise activity — all on one page.

Trigger selector

Click and hover triggers

Launch an interaction or animation when users move their cursor over an element — or when they click. Apply multiple actions to a single element with different triggers.

User control

Click to reveal and hide

Make elements appear and disappear when clicked, without writing any code. Make fun, user-friendly content that people can discover one step at a time.

  • Progressive disclosure

    Show the most relevant and essential information first. Users can access more information gradually, as and when they need.

  • Toggle visibility

    Allow users to switch between different pieces of content and collapse sections they no longer need, such as FAQs or instructions.

  • Enhance focus

    Direct learners’ attention to the task at hand, and hide content and activities once they’ve been completed.

  • Gamification and storytelling

    Hide clues, reveal surprises, and make items disappear after being selected, clicked, or collected.

Hands-on learning

Drag and drop

Challenge learners to drag an element - like a word or an image - to a corresponding drop zone. Trigger different actions for correct and incorrect matches, or at the end of the game.

Draw & annotate

Paint

Paint mode lets learners connect concepts, color in objects, or doodle ideas on the screen. The brush strokes remain visible even when you switch pages. Hosting a live session? Use Paint to highlight and annotate while presenting.

Bring your projects to life

Make elements bigger

Full screen

Allow users to click and expand any element to full screen size. Make small images more accessible, and help people hone in on the details.

Create app-like experiences

Scroll to anchor

Enhance microlearning and mobile content with a smooth jump-to-anchor scroll. When the user clicks on one element, automatic scroll takes them to another element further down the page.

Links

Web-style links

Genially works just like a website, so you can add hyperlinks to web pages, email addresses, or even a phone number. You can also add go-to links to any element, sending users to another page or activity in the same genially.

Sound on click

Click-to-play audio

Trigger audio to play when users click on a button, image, or other element. Create games, language learning activities, and read-aloud instructions with music, sound effects or a voice recording.
