SharePoint Online Modern File Viewer web part & PowerPoint - Animation woes
Hello there,
I'm responsible for technical training and SharePoint administration for my company. I have developed a training on some of our new Office 365 systems and I wanted to show my PowerPoint in a Modern Page on our intranet.
However, my Animations do not seem to be supported. IT and Technical trainings can be a little dry and the animations are pretty critical.
I have tried:
- Embedding the file instead of using the File Viewer web part
- Setting up a Slide Show and using that within both the File Viewer and the Embed web parts
Is there any documentation that might explain why this might be happening?
Hi Meg!
Since the presentation, in the web part, is displayed using PowerPoint Online i think You will find the limitations that cause your problem here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/powerpoint-online-service-description.aspx

Meg Simmons I have the same responsibilities in my organization also, have you made any progress figuring out how to render the slide shows on a Sharepoint Online page? I have been experimenting with image galleries that have animated gifs, interactive powerpoint presentations with animations and transitions saved as a show (I am having difficulty getting it to render as view only), but havent found a really scalable solution yet.
Chas Burdick I have some animations that play fine when I start with PowerPoint online, but when I use the same presentation in the File Viewer web part on a SharePoint page, the animations don't work.
Working fine: fly in.
Not working: appear with trigger set to a shape
Any ideas?
