How to fix This Sway is unavailable error

This Sway is unavailable error will prevent you from accessing shared Sway presentations, but there’s a way to fix this problem. Without further ado, let’s see how can we fix this problem once and for all.

What to do if your Sway presentation isn’t available?

1. Try opening the presentation URL in a different browser

This Sway is unavailable can appear if there’s an issue with your web browser, therefore it’s advised to try opening the link in a different web browser.

If you’re looking for the best browser for the job, we’d suggest trying out Opera Browser.

This browser is built on Chromium engine, so it’s quite similar to Chrome.

Regarding the features, there’s malware, tracking, and privacy protection as well as a built-in VPN.

Opera’s VPN, which is embedded into the web browser, allows you to surf the web in some more privacy. It is 100% free and has no bandwidth restrictions.

However, instead of using an OpenVPN, it encrypts your data using a proxy, which is less private than a complete, standalone VPN service.

The Opera browser is fast and dependable. It now has a one-click capability for saving the current web page to PDF. Opera Browser  Allows you to open a large number of tabs without experiencing memory saturation or latency thanks to efficient memory management.
