Can't import PowerPoint slides into Storyline 360.
I'm suddenly unable to import PowerPoint slides into Storyline360. I've even tried importing slides I've imported before. Did something change? How can I fix? Thanks, Steve

Leslie,
Thank you for your response. I have a ppt that is not propriety that I just presented. When I tried to import it into Storyline, only the speaker notes showed up.
Your help would be most helpful.
Thank you.
Hi Elizabeth!
I was able to import the PowerPoint presentation into a Storyline 360 file. The only missing content is the embedded video on slide 1.9. Do you have access to that video so you can add it to that slide?
I hope this helps!

Thanks Alyssa, that is a huge help as it lets me know that it has to do with our security parameters and not the program itself.
Much appreciation to you and the others for your help.
You're welcome, Elizabeth! Happy I could help.

Hi,
I’ve given up on ever getting the PPT to import. I just get a collleague to do it for me for each new module I work on and although it’s not ideal I’ve spent too much time trying various fixes.
I have tried to unsubscribed from this discussion but I still keep getting the emails. Can somebody unsubscribe me please? Thanks.
Hey Erin -- Are you having trouble importing a PowerPoint file into Storyline 360? If so, here are a couple of initial things to check:
- Be sure all files are saved to your local hard drive.
- Create a new PowerPoint file with a few simple text slides, and try importing that into Storyline. Does it work?
- Share the troublesome PowerPoint file with our team here so we can test it from our side.
Hi Julian -- so sorry this is still plaguing you. I see you were working through this with Wilbert, and he shared a sample PowerPoint file for you to import as a test. I'm curious to find out whether that worked for you!

Hey,
I see some others also have problems importing PPT-files into Storyline. I've tried it with Storyline 2, 3 and 360...not working.
I've checked the version, repaired Office, saved local, I am an administrator on this machine... :(
Next problem: I can't share my PPTs because they are confidental.
Has anybody any solution for this problem? *hopefully*
Thanks!
Happy to help you, Sigrid!
First, what version of Microsoft Office is installed on your computer? Do you know if it is locally installed, or if it is a web app or click-to-run version?
Storyline 360 is compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint 2010-2019 (32-bit or 64-bit) or Microsoft Office 365 (desktop apps only).

Hey Alyssa,
I've Microsoft Office 2010 and it is locally installed on my machine.
Good to know, Sigrid. That's a supported version of Office, so I wouldn't expect any issues there.
From here, I'm going to connect you with our Support Engineers so we can do some further troubleshooting. Keep an eye out for an email from the team!

Hi!
I am unable to import the powerpoint file into Articulate 360 Storyline, is it because I have Office 365?
