Changed

  • The PowerPoint add-in shows any live web page, however the link is pasted. A link
    copied from a browser's address bar without its https:// (apnews.com) now works, and an
    http:// link is tried as https://, since a slide can only show secure pages. The setup
    form leads with "any live web page" and takes plain text — its old type="url" field
    silently refused bare domains. Question Desk session links are unchanged in every form
    (public, domain-scoped and guest page), and still get the live QR handling.
  • A page that refuses to be framed is explained by name. Many sites (AP News, autismla.org
    and most news sites) send X-Frame-Options and simply stay blank inside a slide. While
    editing, the note now names the site and suggests a screenshot or the site's own embed link.
    Nothing an add-in can do about the header itself.

Added

  • The add-in accepts a room screen link served by the WordPress version of Question Desk
    (in progress on the wordpress branch), and only the site actually on the slide may ask the
    add-in to reload — Google's pages, or that site.
