Share your live 3D Globe with a public link or embed simple HTML visitor widgets on your website.

The 3D Globe can be shared as a full-page public link that shows real-time visitor data. This is not an iframe embed - it is a standalone page that anyone with the link can view.

How to Enable Globe Sharing

1

Open the Globe View

Navigate to the 3D Globe for your domain.

2

Click the Share Button

Click the Share button in the top-right control bar.

3

Enable Sharing

In the share modal, click to enable globe sharing. A unique share token is automatically generated.

4

Copy the Link

Copy the generated public link and share it with anyone.

The shared globe page displays:

  • Real-time visitor markers with DiceBear avatars
  • Activity feed showing recent visitors
  • Top stats overlay (visitor count, page views, bounce rate)
  • Music player for ambient background audio
  • Globe controls (share, music, reload, fullscreen)

Disabling Sharing

You can disable globe sharing at any time:

  1. Open the Globe view and click the Share button
  2. Toggle sharing off
  3. The existing share link will immediately stop working

White-Label for Shared Pages

Enterprise Plan

Enterprise customers can customize shared globe pages:

OptionDescription
Remove brandingHides the "Powered by Zenovay" footer
Custom primary colorApplies your brand color to UI elements

White-label settings are configured in your domain settings and automatically apply to the shared globe page.

Security

The share token provides read-only access to real-time visitor data on the globe. It cannot be used to access your dashboard, modify settings, or view detailed analytics.

  • Share links are public - anyone with the link can view the globe
  • Only aggregate visitor data is shown (location, page visited, time)
  • No personally identifiable information is exposed
  • You can revoke access by disabling sharing at any time

HTML Widget Embeds (Separate from Globe)

In addition to globe sharing, Zenovay provides simple HTML widgets that display visitor statistics. These are lightweight embeddable components - they are not 3D globe embeds.

Widget Types

Embedding a Widget

Widgets are embedded using iframes. Configure them in your domain settings under the Widgets tab, then copy the generated embed code.

<iframe

  width="200"
  height="120"
  frameborder="0"
  style="border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden;"
></iframe>
