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...

SharePoint Online

Found this at the documentation for PowerPoint.

We are having the same situation here at the company.

Thanks,

The key change is replacing the action parameter with embedview so that animations can be displayed. The manual method is to click Start Slide Show when the PowerPoint file opens in Office Web App.

This does not work with latest O365 as far as I can tell...it still opens in edit mode
