PowerPoint

Embed a PowerPoint for the web presentation inside your EngageSlide presentation.

What is PowerPoint?

A PowerPoint slide shows a presentation from PowerPoint for the web (OneDrive or SharePoint) inside your EngageSlide presentation, so you can present your existing slides and put interactive questions between them. You paste the embed code that PowerPoint gives you. (Want EngageSlide inside the PowerPoint desktop app instead? See the PowerPoint add-in.)

    On Home, click + Create new presentation (or add a slide to an existing one).

    The slide is created and the right panel opens on the Content tab.

Frequently asked

Can I upload a .pptx file here?
This slide embeds a presentation from PowerPoint for the web. To turn a file into EngageSlide slides instead, use Import PPT/PDF at the bottom of the slide list.
Nothing shows after I paste — why?
Make sure you pasted the embed code (it starts with <iframe) and that the file is shared so the embed can be viewed.
Do my edits show up?
Yes. The embed always shows the current version of the file in OneDrive or SharePoint.
