Embed Presentations from PowerPoint for the Web

PowerPoint for the Web may have fewer options than desktop versions of PowerPoint. Yet, this version does have one option that makes it so easy to share your PowerPoint presentations on your website or blog post. In this tutorial, let us explore the Embed option that generates embed code for your presentation.

1. Make sure you have made all changes to your file. No saving is needed because PowerPoint for the Web auto-saves your file. Now, click the File tab of the Ribbon. Doing so brings up Backstage view in PowerPoint for the Web, as shown in Figure 1, below. Select the Share pane, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 1.

Click the Close button to exit the dialog box.

   Slide Navigation Buttons

   These arrow buttons allow you to move to the previous and the next slides.

   Menu Button

   Click on this button to bring up the menu, as shown in Figure 4, below. Options within this menu allow you to download a copy of the presentation, print the presentation as a PDF, or get the embed code to add this presentation to another blog or website. At this time, there is no way to disable these options. Yes, we know you are wondering what Microsoft was thinking when they decided to make all your content available to the entire world without letting you control anything! So, be careful before you embed your presentations.
