Hey folks, I’m stuck and could use some help!

I’ve been trying to get my PowerPoint presentation to play continuously on a webpage. The catch is I don’t want to use any online tools like Google Docs. Both my PPT file and HTML page are stored locally.

I’ve tried this code, but it’s not working:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe src="presentation.pptx" width="900" height="650" id="slideshow"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Any ideas on how to make this work? I really need to embed the slideshow directly in the HTML. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Have you considered using a JavaScript library like reveal.js? It’s a powerful tool for creating web-based presentations that can mimic PowerPoint functionality. Here’s a basic setup:

  1. Download reveal.js from their GitHub page.
  2. Create an HTML file with this structure:
Slide 1 content Slide 2 content

This approach gives you full control over the presentation, supports animations, and works locally without online services. It’s a bit more work upfront but offers a robust solution.

I’ve dealt with this issue before, and it can be tricky. Converting your PowerPoint to a series of images might be your best bet. Here’s what worked for me:

  1. Export each slide as an image (PNG or JPEG) using PowerPoint’s export feature.
  2. Use a simple JavaScript function to cycle through these images.

Here’s a basic example:

This method gives you more control over the presentation and works without relying on external services. Plus, it’s compatible across different browsers and devices.
