We will read all the suggestions, and we regularly review the ideas and incorporate them into product planning discussions.

Be able to add pictures from Facebook (and similar services) without a Microsoft account or without linking to one. I would like to collaborate at events and may need to pass a device around to multiple people.

automatically email sway at finish
I'd love to automatically link the sway to a calendar event and send out a link at the finish of the presentation/sway.
I've finished and the links in your inbox.

Link to Social media pages associated with the topic of my Sway
Social media PAGES link. Facebook
3 votesDo you mean that you want the share icons to link to a specific Facebook page? (For example, I’ve made a Sway about Microsoft, and I want the link to take me to Microsoft’s page.) You can do this manually by adding a link to your Sway, but interesting idea. Thanks for sharing!

focus points
In the Preview version of Sway, if you added a large image, say 3714x2994 at 300dpi, it did a wonderful job of re-sizing based on screen size. For an image that size, it would appear fully on larger screens and take 2 Sway screens on smaller ones. This was perfect as it allowed the user to view the entire image on 1 or two screens no matter the device. And the only thing visible was the image.
Now, even with selecting the "Entire image is important" option, on smaller screens, Sway insists on cropping the full image to fit the…
1 voteWe’ve made some changes to how Sway lays out images so they never take more than 1 screen to see all the content. As a result, if you select ‘The entire image is important,’ Sway won’t crop the image. It will fit it into the viewport and then add the accent color (depending on the style) to fill the additional space (if needed), which is why you’re seeing a white box appear. Were you not concerned about users having to scroll through an image over multiple screens as opposed to being able to consume the entire image at once? Let us know why or why not in the comments!

Cover to be shown while sharing in social media
When I post my sway, I want to choose which image or which page of the content will be shown in facebook; twitter, etc, as its cover. So far, it does not even show the image that I have set as background of the title.
This would make sway more practical and attractive.4 votes -
Remove the ability to share an embedded Sway
I think there should be more privacy options. I would like to embed my sway presentations online on my website, however I do not want people to be able to share the presentation on social media, nor give out the link or embedded code of the presentation. At the moment, these options come up automatically when I have uploaded a presentation online. Please tell me if this privacy option is available and if it isn't, I think it would be a very good option.

Limit audience of my Sway by age through age verification
Some friends and I are creating a page of satire that contains content that should be age limited. Our intent is to humorously offend people, but only for adults that are in on the joke.

Uploading Sketch-up or Lumion files to presentation
I work a lot on sketchup and would love to directly upload the models into the presentation so that the client could interact with the model. It would be a great help.
p.s love the look and feel of Sway.

to Choose what is visible when Sway is embedded into a website.
I made a simple, yet cool, sway and embedded it into my website and it says "Get Started with Sway" and "Share" and "Embed". All these thing I DON"T want for this particular use of the application (for it distracts from the focus of my website). The little SWAY Banner in the top/left corner in fine (credit due and all), but It would be nice to choose what is actually visible from the fruits of the Sway Tree on a website.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’ll keep this in mind as we keep on designing how Sways look when they’re embedded. :)

Automatically generate a page or a link to Word Online document for the proper attributions to Creative Commons content.
For legal purposes, I think Sway should automatically add a link to a Word Online document that would properly attribute all Creative Commons content.

privacy
It would be great to use Sway to share ideas, presentations, reports and information with business partners. And, here, privacy is key!
Sway is great becaus of its speed from idea to content. If you integrate that with MS Office (especially OneNote!), you would have a great tool to communicate with teams.
PLEASE DO THIS!!! :)1 voteWhat do you mean by privacy? Only you can see it? Specific people? Password protection? Let us know by leaving a comment!

Space with all sways together
Hello, guys! What about Sway become a personal page where you can post, and share with the world your hobbies and knowledge? What about people being able to personalize the layout of this space, and make their own magazine? Guys, trust me: people love sharing themselves. But until today, the tools to do it are not good as Sway. Personally, I loved it.

Viewing Sways on TV without laptop
Viewing onedrive Videos on TV is possible via Roku and Pikta for onedrive (My Mother in Laws is enjoying this).
It would be great to view Sways on TV without Computer in a similar way.
Older People e.g. would enjoy their Family member's personal Sways.

Preview Sway as it would look on different devices
It would be nice to be able to preview what a Sway would look like on other devices. I built a Sway on my computer and the preview mode shows me what it will look like if it's viewed on a computer. It would be nice to be able to see what it will look like on a phone or tablet.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion! We appreciate the feedback. If you would like to do this manually, just resize your window to the approximate size of a tablet or a phone. Your Sway will reflow to that window size, and you’ll get an idea of what it would look like across different devices. :)
