What’s new in Genially

Erase the background from any photo or image in seconds and create your own custom designs. Create cutouts with a transparent background that you can combine with other elements or place on a new background.

Save time creating quizzes, knowledge checks, and marketing materials with the help of artificial intelligence. Enter your topic, and AI will provide you with suggested questions and answers. Available in the Interactive Questions sidebar.

Put the pressure on! Make quizzes, assessments, and knowledge checks a bit more challenging and a lot more fun with a countdown timer. Choose how long learners have to respond and if you want to display a Time’s up! message. Add a timer in the Actions tab

You can now host live quizzes and games in Genially! Amp up the energy and introduce some friendly competition into your classes, presentations, and training sessions.

 

As players respond, their results pop up on screen, showing who’s in the lead.

 

Live Results boosts engagement and team spirit in asynchronous settings too, as participants can see how others have responded.

With Genially Author, our top plan for eLearning professionals, you can translate pages or entire creations in one click. Scale up content creation and help your team roll out multi-language materials at speed.

Genially has been growing and developing fast and we’ve given our brand a new look and feel to align with the evolution of the product.

 

With over 30 million users in L&D, Marketing, Higher Education, and Schools, we’re now one of the world’s leading interactive content creation and gamification platforms.

 

Our mission is to help diverse populations build incredible click-to-explore experiences that make learning and communication more engaging and effective. 

We’ve launched new embed controls to give Workspace Owners and Admins more power over where published content is shared. With Domain Restriction you can block geniallys from being embedded on sites you haven’t pre-approved.

 

This helps you protect your material and make sure it’s only viewed by its intended audience. When Domain Restriction is activated, embedded content can only be viewed on named domains that you’ve added to your approved list. Available with Genially Author.

 

As well as PowerPoint and Google Files, you can now import PDFs directly into Genially. Convert static documents, reports, and training assets into accessible and user-friendly materials that work just like a website.

 

Unlike PDFs, you can embed videos and online content directly in the page. Readers can consume everything in the same document without opening links to websites.

 

• Turn boring graphs and tables into interactive data visualizations
• Collect data and feedback with built-in forms and questionnaires
• Live updates - no need to save and share a new PDF!

 

Keep tabs on changes and protect your team’s work with Version and Activity History, both available now with Genially Author.

 

With Activity History you can see when content was created, edited, moved, or deleted — and check exactly which changes were made. The Workspace Owner can filter by date, time, action type, and team member. 

 

When you need to backtrack, use Version History to view and restore an earlier version. It’s quick and easy to reverse mistakes and ensures you won’t lose previous work.

Bring interactive content design into the classroom with the new Class Workspace. Help students develop valuable digital, creative, and collaboration skills as they design their own interactive projects.

 

Key features:

For fans of the click-to-reveal interaction we’re happy to unveil its counterpart: Hide! When users click on an element, it makes another one disappear. The hide interaction is a powerful tool for storytelling and step-by-step sequences, allowing users to process information in digestible chunks. 

 

For game-based learning, it’s useful for concealing clues and making objects vanish. Settings include the option to hide multiple elements and reveal elements again when the user clicks for a second time. For extra impact, try combining Hide with click-trigger animations or sound effects.

Check your writing for mistakes and change the way it sounds in one click. When you add text to the canvas, select the ✨Edit text with AI button. Available with all premium plans.

Make learning experiences more dynamic with the new Coin Flip, Dice, Countdown, Timer, and Stopwatch. These widgets are a fun tool for capturing attention, boosting motivation, and giving learners more agency.

 

Use the Carousel Gallery to show visual clues when creating games, or try the Randomizer to present a choice in how to move forward. Find these features in the Interactive Elements menu.

We’ve upgraded Smartblocks to help you build gorgeous content even more quickly. Smartblocks are pre-formatted graphics that you can add to the page in one click. They come with interactions and animations set up and ready for you to customize.

 

The new bank of over 150 designs includes timelines, maps, charts, diagrams, image galleries and full-page layouts for slides and social media.

Genially is now a fully collaborative platform for teams of all sizes. Edit designs in real time, organize projects in personal and shared spaces, invite external guests to review content and more.

 

The Brand Kit and Team Templates help you scale up your content creation processes and roll out custom, interactive materials quickly and easily.
