Prototype vertical scrolling not working in figma slides

Prototypes embedded in Figma Slides no longer allow full vertical scrolling during presentation, even though vertical scrolling works correctly when the prototype is played directly. This appears to be a regression, as the same slides and prototypes worked previously.

 

Whats happening:
 

In the past, I’ve been able to embed interactive prototypes into Figma Slides and present them with full vertical scrolling enabled.

Today, I created a new slide deck and added a prototype, but the vertical canvas scroll does not work as expected during slide presentation, despite working correctly when the prototype is played on its own.

After noticing this, I went back and checked older slide decks where this behavior previously worked, and I’m now seeing the same scrolling issue there as well.

 

Current behaviour for me:

  • Scrolling only works within the initial height that was loaded when the slide was presented.
  • If the prototype includes interactions that increase content height (e.g. expanding sections, accordions), scrolling is only possible up to the originally loaded area, not beyond it.
  • You can scroll back to where the page initially loaded, but cannot scroll past that point.
  • This issue now affects both newly created slides and older slides that previously worked.

Expected behaviour/past behaviour :

Embedded prototypes should support full vertical scrolling, consistent with normal prototype playback.

Hi ​@Tim.E, thanks for flagging this issue! 

I completely understand how this must be affecting your workflow. May I ask if you noticed this issue on or before March 20th? 

Are you able to share a URL link to your file and provide support-share@figma.com with Can View access? 

With the file link, I can pass this onto our Slides team to investigate further.
