Hi gliders,

When i enlarge image, it displays a blank screen instead. Any idea why?

Included a short clip here, link to google drive: [RPReplay\_Final1649139314.mp4 - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-8hDsRXpEIx1jrrBYoAhaDd_tmLcp9k8/view?usp=sharing)

Thank you

Are the images hosted in Glide or GDrive?

Long shot : Try an image with a solid background color. I noticed this with transparent ones.

It’s advisable to upload your images to glide and not via google drive.

Read [Adding images - Glide Library](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/ux/adding-images#external-hosting)
