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...

This had me troubled because I was trying to open in Slide Show mode from Teams and SharePoint for the same reasons and after trying all the suggested methods, I was coming up short. Here's how I made it work:

 

Go to the document library in SharePoint

Click on the ellipsis next to the file name and select Preview

In Preview mode, select the ellipsis in the top menu and select embed and you will get something that looks like this:

<iframe src="https://name.sharepoint.com/sites/documentlocation/_layouts/15/embed.aspx?UniqueId=dccb8f9e-babc-40e0-a4ca-74b71c5a973a" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen title="filename.ppsx"></iframe>

 

Copy this part of the embed code and insert as a link in your page or Teams channel:

https://name.sharepoint.com/sites/documentlocation/_layouts/15/embed.aspx?UniqueId=dccb8f9e-babc-40e0-a4ca-74b71c5a973a

 

Opens in SharePoint in slide  show mode.
