We are excited to announce that a brand-new issue of CALAMEO Magazine is now online!
For our second issue, we decided to take on a subject that a lot of people are thinking about this time of year: travel. We love travel publications on Calaméo and getting to know destinations all around the world, so we devoted this issue to vacations, staycations and adventure. Check out some of our favorite reads, learn how changing travel trends impact digital publishing and more.
Be sure to take a peek around the viewer—it’s all decked out in the custom Skin we made just for the magazine.

We are pleased to share the newest issue of CALAMEO Magazine with you!
Who says a new start is only reserved for January 1st? In the pages of our latest issue, you will find an abundance of inspiration, especially if your projects could benefit from a little revitalization. The Renewal issue is full of great tips: rediscovering your creativity, a fresh mood board, a new look at old technology, and more. Plus, we take a walk down memory lane and also share news about a refreshed look of our own at Calaméo!
For many businesses, showcasing digital publications on their own website is a great business solution. Clients can enjoy the convenient presentation and interactive features of catalogs, magazines and more all while browsing the brand’s site.
To help you take advantage of this powerful tool, we’ve created a complete guide to embedding your publications!
In part three of this series, we will explain how to track the statistics of your embedded publications and tips for mobile responsiveness.
Measuring Performance
Once your publications are available on your site, looking exactly as intended, they’re ready for visitors to read, click and explore. It’s also time to start measuring the performance of your embedded publications.
Understanding the sources of your audience is easy with Calaméo’s advanced statistics. All users have access to Source data in the Statistics tab of their accounts, which shows the percentage of your publications’ views that take place on Calaméo, in embeds and from a Library Widget.
Our PREMIUM and PLATINUM plans allow you to break down Source data across a range of other stats. For example, you may wish to see what percentage of readers are clicking links in your embedded publications or whether embedded publications are read for longer.
Mobile Responsiveness
Your Calaméo account statistics will also help you to understand how readers prefer to view your embedded publications: on their desktops, smartphones or tablets. If you notice a high percentage of viewers using mobile devices, you should consider ensuring that your embed is fully responsive.
While our viewer is always responsive on mobile, it’s important that your site is set up for a responsive embed using the Calaméo embed code. Each website is different and has its own specific needs, but here are the basics:
Define the width attribute in the iFrame tag of your publication’s embed code as 100%
Check that the container for your Calaméo embed code is correctly configured for responsive display
It may also be a good idea to test the display of your publication’s links, videos and other interactive elements on mobile so that they are comfortably sized for readers to enjoy on smaller screens.
That brings us to the end of our Complete Guide to Embeds series! You should now have all the information you need to make the most out of your embedded publications.
Have you embedded a Calaméo publication on your blog or website? We’d love to see your best work! Tag us @calameo on Facebook and Twitter or on Instagram@calameo_publishing.
