Using the File and Media Web Part

The file and media web part in SharePoint is an efficient tool for embedding PowerPoint presentations directly into your SharePoint site.

This feature allows users to view the presentation without needing to download it or open it in a separate application.

Note : This web part was formerly the file viewer web part (not the page viewer web part).

Here’s how to use the file and media web part to embed a PowerPoint presentation:

Before embedding, upload the PowerPoint slide file to a document library in your SharePoint site.

upload the powerpoint file to the sharepoint library

Ensure that the file is optimized for web viewing, with a reduced file size and compatible media formats.

Go to the SharePoint page where you want to embed the PowerPoint presentation and edit that web page:

  • Click on the “ Edit ” button to start editing the page.
  • Select the “ + ” icon to add a new web part and choose “ File and media ” from the list of available web parts.

select the file and media web part from the list

If you can’t see it, you can also search for it.

If the file isn’t a recent document, you can browse through your site.

Otherwise, select the file you wish to embed:

select the powerpoint file you want to embed

You can actually upload from here (but it’s helpful if you upload first to your library of choice).

By the way, if you want to change the start slide, you can click on the pencil icon of the web part to edit the properties.

change the start slide of the powerpoint presentation

Once you are satisfied with the preview, click “ Publish ” to make the changes live.

Your PowerPoint presentation is now embedded and viewable by anyone who has access to the SharePoint page.

Using the Embed Web Part

The embed web part in SharePoint Online provides a flexible way to embed PowerPoint presentations.

It’s especially useful when you want to include content hosted externally or require more customization in the presentation display.

This method is particularly useful for presentations that are frequently updated or sourced from different platforms.

Here’s how to use it:

Ensure your PowerPoint presentation is saved in a location accessible via a URL.

This can be within SharePoint or an external site like OneDrive or a public server.

You can also upload it to a document library:

Confirm that the link to the PowerPoint file is sharable and accessible to your intended audience.

Go to the SharePoint page where you wish to embed the presentation:

  • Get to edit mode on that page
  • Click on the “ + ” icon to add a new web part
  • Choose “ Embed ” from the list of available web parts

select the embed web part from the list

In the embed web part link box, paste the link to your PowerPoint presentation.

The web part will automatically process and display a preview of the embedded presentation.

enter the website address or embed code

Some considerations here:

  • Ensure the link used in the embed web part is always active and accessible to the target audience .
  • Be cautious when embedding content from external sources to avoid security risks and make sure you have access rights.

If the embed didn’t work, check the link. If it doesn’t accept website address links, try creating an embed code (iFrame) for it.

After making sure the presentation is displayed as desired, publish the page to make the embedded presentation visible to viewers.

Integrating PowerPoint presentations into SharePoint streamlines collaboration and enhances document accessibility within organizations.

Utilizing SharePoint’s file and media and embed web parts simplifies this integration, offering versatile options for embedding and managing presentations.

Embracing this powerful combination of Microsoft tools can significantly enhance communication and collaborative processes in any professional setting.
