I have been searching for a solution to this problem, and have only found third party tools and a Microsoft plugin that does not work (getting Active X errors, due to security features in Windows 10 apparently this is no longer working).
The third party tools are a problem, since my school will not pay for those, nor can these be installed on the school computers. But something as simple as embedding web content must be available in a powerfull tool like Powerpoint, so I must be missing something obvious here.
I can embed video, I can embed audio, but embedding web content so I do not have to leave my presentation when needing to show said content is not possible? I find that hard to believe.
Does anyone have the answer here?

You would like to include live web pages in slides in your PowerPoint presentation. A small extension for the program makes this possible.
An important note in advance: If you intend to include online content in your slides, you should only do so if you are sure that there will be an online connection during the actual presentation.
Microsoft itself primarily thought of video and audio clips when integrating Internet content. You can easily transfer this to the presentation using Paste. To use the current content of any website, you need a free add-in that you can download to your computer (see the link inserted).
Open PowerPoint and go to the File section. From there, click on Options.
In the following dialog you decide on add-ins.
At the bottom of the window, select "Power Point Add-Ins" from the list box and click Go.
In the next window click on Add New.
First, you need to activate and install the add-in.
Now switch to the folder into which you moved the contents of the archive. Select the file with the extension “ppam” and click OK.
You will receive an error message about a potential security risk. Unfortunately the developer failed to update the signature of his program code. But I haven't noticed any problems with the add-in. You can get rid of the file the other way around. So you call up the overview of the add-ins again and first use the unload function and then remove. Once the installation is complete, there will be a new section under Insert in PowerPoint. To transfer a live view of a website to a slide, proceed as follows:
Create the slide on which you want to place the website. Switch to the Insert tab and click on Web Page in the LiveWeb section.
Under Insert you have new options in PowerPoint.
This starts an assistant, the first step of which you can skip. In the next dialog, enter the address of the website. You must enter this with the prefix "http".
Click on Add and then on Next. If the page should always be updated automatically, leave the default settings and then click on Next.
The last dialog is used to define how large the website should be displayed.
In conclusion, all you have to do is
indicate where the web page is displayed on the slide.
You have now entered all the necessary information and can click Finish in the last dialog. A placeholder can now be seen on the slide. To display the website, the presentation must be in presentation mode.

I would be happy to know if I could help.

The plugin you mention is the one that I had mentioned in my original posting, which is not working due to active X restrictions / security restrictions in Windows 10.

You did not "take up my time". You were kind enough to try and help me. I should have specified which plugin I tried in my original post. If anything, I took up your time.
I will look into the additional resources you mentioned. Thank you.

@VayaWillemenHello, I realize that this is an older post and don't expect for you to see this immediately. However, I was wondering if you were able to find a solution to this problem? I am currently having what seems to be a fairly similar issue as you and have not found a microsoft native way to add a live webpage to the slide.

@VayaWillemen After a little more digging and a few dead ends, I did find This add-in provided by Microsoft directly. I don't know if that is something you are capable of using, but it did work for me in adding a live website into a presentation.
