The tweet will appear in your genially automatically. And that’s not all; the tweet will continue as a live element with all its interaction options. In other words, viewers will be able to like and retweet it as if they were on Twitter. This works for displaying your tweets on your genially’s pages as well as inserting them into the windows that appear when you click on an interactive element.

On Genially’s side, all of the likes and retweets received by the tweets you’ve inserted in your geniallys will be automatically updated along with the comments and feedback from your audience.
