Launching a PowerPoint file in Slide Show view from Sharepoint Online
I have a PPSX file which uses the kiosk mode, because I want the navigation to be through action buttons rather than just simply clicking on the slides. I want to put a link to it on a SharePoint site...
Rhian Howell I finally found a solution that works for me! I uploaded the .pptx file into my SharePoint site, opened the file in the browser, and copied the URL. Then I pasted the URL into a Word document and updated it to /_layouts/16/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc and .pptx&action=embedview ensuring that I removed everything after the "embedview". Then I share that link with my staff. I tried to add the URL back to my SharePoint page but unfortunately, that didn't work. The step that had been missing for me from previous users was changing the layout to "16".
Full transparency, I got the fix from this website: https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2021/04/sharepoint-online-how-to-open-powerpoint-in-presentation-mode.html
