Embedding a webpage in a Powerpoint slide

VayaWillemen But a network connection is pretty ubiquitous these days. Like other folks here I can't believe there's not a one-click Insert way to do this.  It sounds like "open Chrome in front" is just that same as you'd get from attaching a URL.

Hi,

I was looking to do the same thing today and am not keen on downloading add ins and such. I accidentally found a way of doing this just in PowerPoint by using the add link.

1. Create the slide contents you want to show. 
2.Add a shape to your slide. I used a square. Make the square the full size of your slide, and then change the Fill on the shape to ‘no fill’ so it is transparent. 
3.With the shape still highlighted click Link and then put the link URL in. 

That’s it.

When you are in presentation mode just click anywhere in the slide and your default browser opens to the webpage if the link you added to the shape. Do whatever you need to, including opening new tabs in the browser window and when you close the browser window, you are taken right back to the slide you were on, still in presentation mode.  

This worked better for me as I wanted to use Edge as I was showing the search functionality and the new Bing Chat secured in our tenant, which looks nicer in Edge. 

I have never shared anything like this before, so sorry if it isn’t valuable.

People are considering an add-in called ClassPoint:

How to embed web page into PowerPoint - Quora

VayaWillemenI tried ClassPoint briefly.  I was hoping it would be integrated into the slide deck, but it's not really.  It basically opens up Chrome in front of the slides while you are presenting, and then you can browse to where you want to go (using bookmarks if desired).  But it's not really part of the slide, and it's not a specific website, just a new empty browser.

So yes, you can "stay" in PowerPoint as you browse, but it's not too much different than opening Chrome on your own (although that can be preloaded with your website of interest).  And there is a large toolbar at the bottom that needs to be open during your entire presentation if you want to be able to open the ClassPoint browser on a slide.

Because again, ClassPoint is a tool to temporarily open a website while presenting, it is not adding a website to your slide deck.

So I'm not sure I'll be keeping this, even though it looked promising and may work well for others.

VayaWillemen This plugin called ClassPoint has been working very well. No Macros, no coding: https://blog.classpoint.io/how-to-embed-a-website-in-powerpoint/ 

It basically opens a web browser in your PowerPoint slideshow, and you can open your saved sites, or just on the spot open new sites. It also allows you to insert a screenshot of the site and annotate on it.

You would like to include live web pages in slides in your PowerPoint presentation. A small extension for the program makes this possible.

An important note in advance: If you intend to include online content in your slides, you should only do so if you are sure that there will be an online connection during the actual presentation.

Microsoft itself primarily thought of video and audio clips when integrating Internet content. You can easily transfer this to the presentation using Paste. To use the current content of any website, you need a free add-in that you can download to your computer (see the link inserted).

Open PowerPoint and go to the File section. From there, click on Options.
In the following dialog you decide on add-ins.
At the bottom of the window, select "Power Point Add-Ins" from the list box and click Go.
In the next window click on Add New.
First, you need to activate and install the add-in.

Now switch to the folder into which you moved the contents of the archive. Select the file with the extension “ppam” and click OK.
You will receive an error message about a potential security risk. Unfortunately the developer failed to update the signature of his program code. But I haven't noticed any problems with the add-in. You can get rid of the file the other way around. So you call up the overview of the add-ins again and first use the unload function and then remove. Once the installation is complete, there will be a new section under Insert in PowerPoint. To transfer a live view of a website to a slide, proceed as follows:

Create the slide on which you want to place the website. Switch to the Insert tab and click on Web Page in the LiveWeb section.
Under Insert you have new options in PowerPoint.

This starts an assistant, the first step of which you can skip. In the next dialog, enter the address of the website. You must enter this with the prefix "http".
Click on Add and then on Next. If the page should always be updated automatically, leave the default settings and then click on Next.
The last dialog is used to define how large the website should be displayed.
In conclusion, all you have to do is
indicate where the web page is displayed on the slide.

You have now entered all the necessary information and can click Finish in the last dialog. A placeholder can now be seen on the slide. To display the website, the presentation must be in presentation mode.
