[Tex/LaTex] Putting a bibliography citation at bottom of beamer slide

beamerbibtex

I read Place bibliography items at bottom of frame and tried making my own .bib file with just one entry. The entry is nothing out of the ordinary:

@book{Saussure1995,
    Author = {Ferdinand de Saussure},
    Origyear = {1916},
    Publisher = {Payot},
    Title = {Cours de Linguistique G{\'e}n{\'e}rale},
    Year = {1995}}

However, when I try the MWE below, I don't actually get what Place bibliography items at bottom of frame shows, instead I just get Saussure1995 (the label I used for my entry) in bold letters without any citation details whatsoever. What could be the problem?

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{biblatex}
\bibliography{example2}


\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Hello,World\footfullcite{Saussure1995}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Answering this question has been a real struggle (e.g., References at the end of beamer slides (Endnote export as text file)), here is a hack that I propose that I came up with thanks to a lot of trial and error (if someone could propose something else besides for this hack, I think that it would really help the community):

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{biblatex}


\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Hello,World\footfullcite{Write something here, anything you like}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

biblatex footnote hack

Please note that using \footcite in place of \footfullcite produces the same output.
