Embedding a webpage in a Powerpoint slide
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.
