I'm having difficulty getting citations at the bottom of Beamer to be actually at the bottom. Using the command \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc} from this question
doesn't do anything.
It actually makes the font of the footnote larger, which makes me think I have another package which it overwrites. What should I look for in the .tex to fix this? I'm using our university beamer template so it's a bit messy to post, but I can if nobody has a suggestion. Thanks for your help!

columnsenvironment, try using theframeoption of\footnote. See here for instance https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/86757/141947 – BambOo Apr 11 '20 at 19:45footmiscas your question mentions this package specifically, I will have a look at it to see if a solution with this package is also possible. Note that thebottomoption does not seem to be made forbeamer– BambOo May 24 '20 at 08:12beamer's own modifications. Without your own code, I cannot test any solution, but I would say one of the ones I propose in the other question should work. Can you add a minimal working example with bibliography (MWEB) ? – BambOo May 24 '20 at 08:20footmiscseems to break footnotes in all kind of document classes. beamer is apparently one of them (although at least\footnote[frame]{…}seems to remain working, but i had problems with it in koma too. i would recommend not using it if not absolutely necessary. – stefanct Jun 20 '20 at 07:53
