I have written C# code to get base64 encoded string as a screenshot and place it into .html Extent Report. 

    private ExtentReports Extent;
    private ExtentTest Test;
------- some other code here ----------

    Test = Extent.CreateTest("name of my test as string");

    public void AddTestFailureScreenshot(string base64ScreenCapture)
    {
        Test.AddScreenCaptureFromBase64String(base64ScreenCapture, "Screenshot on Error:");
    }

    public string ScreenCaptureAsBase64String()
    {
        ITakesScreenshot ts = (ITakesScreenshot)driver;
        Screenshot screenshot = ts.GetScreenshot();
        return screenshot.AsBase64EncodedString;
    }

When the report is generated in .html format, I can't see the embedded screenshot right away, rather I need to click on base64-img link and then image loads normally (image shows that one of our pre-prod environment is down)

This happens in Firefox and Google Chrome. I am just trying to figure out if the problem with Extent Reports code that I have provided, or some configuration in the browser itself.

Has anybody faced a similar problem before? I simply want screenshots to appear without any additional clicking.

Your problem is in the HTML, the "href" attribute is used for links. You must use the "src" attribute.

As demonstrated in this Example.

I hope it serves you and those who have this concern.

If you can mark me as "correct answer" I would really appreciate it.
