Link to open a PowerPoint Show
I have a button in Storyline that links to an external PowerPoint Show. Is there a way to program it to open automatically instead of having to download it first?
Hi Tanya,
I'm happy to chime in! It's not possible to automatically open PowerPoint show files from a web source; it will be downloaded, and you need to click on the downloaded file to open it. My tests confirm this with a published Storyline output to Review 360 and when the PowerPoint show file is opened directly from the Web server.
Would it be better to save your Powerpoint as a video and import that into Storyline?
Thanks for your reply, Eric. The video option wouldn't work because the trainer wants the ability to advance the slides on click. They will just have to download the file. Take care.
