The plugin you mention is the one that I had mentioned in my original posting, which is not working due to active X restrictions / security restrictions in Windows 10.

    You did not "take up my time". You were kind enough to try and help me. I should have specified which plugin I tried in my original post. If anything, I took up your time.

     

    I will look into the additional resources you mentioned. Thank you.

      VayaWillemenHello, I realize that this is an older post and don't expect for you to see this immediately. However, I was wondering if you were able to find a solution to this problem? I am currently having what seems to be a fairly similar issue as you and have not found a microsoft native way to add a live webpage to the slide.

        Hello pnicholls0

        Unfortunately this issue was not resolved for me. Since my original tries in 2021 all failed, despite the suggestions I received here in this thread, I have kind of given up and no longer "design" my powerpoint presentations to include live web pages. It is a shame this is not supported natively in ppt, because I always have to leave my presentation to visit any webpage needed during my talks in a browser, and then returning to the ppt afterwards. It is not efficiƫnt, nor "pretty" and I would prefer an integrated solution. But alas ....

        I still have an open feature request somewhere in the depths of the Microsoft universum asking to add this possibility. No idea if it will ever get picked up by the developers at MS-ppt division. Living on hope šŸ™‚
