SharePoint Online: How to Open PowerPoint in Presentation Mode?

Requirement: Open PowerPoint files in slideshow mode in SharePoint Online.

How to Open PowerPoint in Presentation mode from SharePoint Online?

Any link to PowerPoint presentations (PPT, PPTX, or PPSX files) takes users to the Edit mode of the file. Even if the users don’t have permission to edit, SharePoint opens it in edit mode with a banner saying you can’t edit the file. So, How to force slide show mode for PPT’s?

Well, here is the trick to open PowerPoint files in presentation mode: use the below URL format to have PowerPoint open in presentation mode:

https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing /_layouts/16/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc= https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/Marketing/Branding/SharePoint-Training-Presentation.pptx &action=embedview

This link directly launches the PowerPoint presentation in the slideshow mode in full browser screen!

How about SharePoint On-Premises?

Similarly, in SharePoint On-premises, use the below format to open PowerPoint in presentation mode:

It also appears if you have any GIFs the are displayed as static images – any advice?

Thanks for this great article. You are the best. I would like to know if there is a trick to start the presentation in full screen presentation mode so that slides run automatically?

Hey, thanks for that! Very helpful! Spend half a day to get that work and you provided finally the solution!

Too sad, if you have links in your PPT you can’t click these…

Hi Salaudeen,

Thanks for your post. We are experiencing the same problem with PowerPoint presentation links not opening up in slideshow mode – even if “view only”. I have used your URL format and this works to open the PowerPoint in presentation mode but ONLY for those that are logged into SharePoint Online.

We want to share the URL for anyone to view (outside of the organisation too) with the only necessary requirement being a web browser to open it. When the URL is clicked the presentation should open straight into slideshow mode without a need for any log in.

Do you think this is something that is possible? Any advice?

Thanks, Emily

How to add a slideshow to SharePoint Site

In case you are not impressed by the dull look and feel of the Out of the Box SharePoint sites, there are things that can be done to spice things up. Today I will explain how to add a slideshow to SharePoint Site. This could be a great addition to an Intranet Homepage and provide an awesome way for your employees to connect and adopt to SharePoint/Office 365.

How to add slideshow to SharePoint Site

Below is an example of the end result once all is set and done. The image in the center is not a static image, but rather a rotating slideshow of images. ( the particular image below depicts a skyline of my favorite city in the world – Boston, MA ).

The way Slideshow works in SharePoint is as follows:

• Picture Library Web Part stores slideshow images
• Another web part, called Picture Library Slideshow Web Part  displays images on the chosen page.

So let’s begin and build this together!

Step 1: Create a picture library Web Part

Go to Gear Icon > Site Contents > Add App

Give the Picture Library some name. Hit Create

Step 2: Add images to the library

This works exactly the same way as with documents. You can either upload one by one or drag and drop a bunch together. Very Important: Do not create folders in the library, otherwise slideshow won’t work. Just drag and drop images into the picture library

Step 3: Insert the Picture Library Slideshow web part

Now that we completed the first major piece of the puzzle, we are ready to create our slideshow. The first thing we need to do is add another web part to the page where we want slideshow to appear. To do this, go to Page > Edit Page > Insert Tab > Web Part

From the list of available web parts that appears, click on Media and Content > Picture Library Slideshow Web Part . Click Add button

This will add the web part to our page. The only thing left is its configuration

Step 4: Configure Slideshow

To configure slideshow, click on small drop-down in the upper right-hand corner of the web part, then Edit Web Part

The configuration menu will appear on the screen. You have control over several features of the slideshow. Let’s go over them:

• Duration to Show Picture:  # of seconds each picture will appear on the page
• Picture Library: drop-down shows all available picture libraries on your site. If you have 1 – only 1 will appear. If multiple – all of them will appear so you can choose the one from which you want to display images
• Library View: shows all available views from the chosen picture library. This might be handy when you have lots of images in a picture library and want to only display certain ones in the slideshow. Just create a view in the picture library, filter by some metadata such that only certain images appear in that view and you can use that view in the slideshow. It is like creating different albums/themes for your slideshow!
• Picture Display Mode: you can alter between sequential and random. Sequential means that slideshow will display images in the same order they appear in the picture library view
• Display with: you can alter between different modes. If you have Title and Description metadata filled out in the picture library and they make sense – you can display them in your slideshow. I usually do not display them, but it is up to you.
• Show toolbar: If you mark the check box, users will have ability to pause or go forward/back in the slideshow via the toolbar <<  ||  >>. I usually do not display the toolbar

Once you set the desired settings, click OK at the web part menu and then Save at the page level. That’s all – your slideshow will now appear on the page!

Things to be aware about:

• Image dimensions and aspect ratio have to be the same for all images. For example, if one of your images is 430 px X 250 px and another is 500 px X 300 px, this won’t work. The slideshow will still display, but won’t look pretty and your slideshow dimensions will constantly change and content on SharePoint page will jump around all the time. All your images have to have same pixels in terms of width and height
• Be aware of overall image size and space on page. If your image is 700 px wide, that’s how it will be displayed (it will pretty much take over your whole screen). So choose appropriate size and ratio for more pleasing look
• Choose appropriate duration in seconds. Remember, SharePoint is a working site, not a Hollywood blockbuster with special effects. You don’t want rotating images to annoy site users when they work with the document library located by the side of the slideshow.

Hi, how would you find the embed code to use for a Modern List? Thanks!

Hi, it should be possible to embed a specific slide (e.g. slide 8) in a deck. But how? Any light? Thanks.

If you use a file viewer web part on a modern page you can select the slide number to start from. Works on 2019 and SPO.

Hi, is there a way to remove/hide the border and the bottom slide navigation arrows and just show the actual slide content?

Yes. You can do it by using custom css.

Hi Can you let me know how to do that Custom css?

Rajkiran, you have no idea how long I searched until I found your solution to my embedding problem. Thank you so much for helping me make my blog easier for my readers to use!

Thanks for the lovely comment. Keep reading my article.. I am always here to help .

Hi Rajkiran,

I haven’t had any problems with embedding the PowerPoint into a SharePoint page however I’d actually like it to run and loop continuously as it does normally. I’ve found that animations work on each slide but it doesn’t transition from one page to next, as it would normally if viewing it in PowerPoint view, nor does it loop at the end of the show.

I don’t really wish to save it as a video as that functionality has been disabled at work for space saving purposes. Any ideas at all?

Best, Trevor

Thanks , tried this but my pp does not automatically play when i embed it into SharePoint

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

What's included for retention and deletion

All files stored in SharePoint or OneDrive sites can be retained by applying a retention policy or retention label. For SharePoint, archived sites are supported in addition to active sites.

The following files can be deleted:

When you use a retention policy: All files in document libraries, which include any automatically created SharePoint document libraries, such as Site Assets .

When you use retention labels: All files in all document libraries, and all files at the root level that aren't in a folder.

When you use a query with an auto-apply policy for a retention label , you can exclude specific document libraries by using the following entry: NOT(DocumentLink:"<URL to document library>")

List items are not supported by retention policies but are supported by retention labels with the exception of items in system lists. These are hidden lists used by SharePoint to manage the system and include the master page catalog, solution catalog, and data sources. When retention labels are applied to supported list items, they will always be retained according to the retention settings, but not deleted if they are hidden from search.

When you apply a retention label to a supported list item that has a document attachment:

• The document attachment doesn't automatically inherit the retention settings of the label, but can be labeled independently.
• The document attachment automatically inherits the retention settings from the label if the document isn't already labeled.

Retention settings from both retention policies and retention labels do not apply to organizing structures that include libraries, lists, and folders.

For retention policies and label policies: SharePoint sites must be indexed for the retention settings to be applied. However, if items in SharePoint document libraries are configured to not appear in search results, this configuration doesn't exclude files from the retention settings.

How retention works for SharePoint and OneDrive

To store content that needs to be retained, SharePoint and OneDrive create a Preservation Hold library if one doesn't exist for the site. The Preservation Hold library is a hidden system location that isn't designed to be used interactively but instead, automatically stores files when this is needed for compliance reasons. It's not supported to edit, delete, or move these automatically retained files yourself. Instead, use compliance tools, such as those supported by eDiscovery to access these files.

The Preservation Hold library works in the following way to support retention policies and retention labels:

When a user changes an item that's subject to retention from a retention policy or a retention label that marks items as a record, or deletes any item subject to retention, the original content is copied to the Preservation Hold library. This behavior lets the user change or delete the content in their app, while keeping a copy of the original for compliance reasons.

A timer job periodically runs on the Preservation Hold library. For content that has been in the Preservation Hold library for more than 30 days, this job compares the content to all queries used by the retention settings for that content. Content that is older than their configured retention period and isn't awaiting disposition review is then deleted from the Preservation Hold library, and from the original location if it is still there. This timer job runs every seven days, which means that together with the minimal 30 days, it can take up to 37 days for content to be deleted from the Preservation Hold library.

This behavior for copying files into the Preservation Hold library applies to content that exists when the retention settings were applied. In addition, for retention policies, any new content that's created or added to the site after it was included in the policy will be retained in the Preservation Hold library. However, new content isn't copied to the Preservation Hold library the first time it's edited, only when it's deleted. To retain all versions of a file, versioning must be turned on for the original site.

Users see an error message if they try to delete a library, list, folder, or site that's subject to retention. They can delete an unlabeled folder if they first move or delete any files in the folder that are subject to retention.

Users also see an error message if they try to delete a labeled item in any of the following circumstances. The item isn't copied to the Preservation Hold library but remains in the original location:

The records management setting that allows users to delete labeled items is turned off.

To check or change this setting, go to the records management settings in the Microsoft Purview portal or the Microsoft Purview compliance portal > Retention labels > Deletion of items . There are separate settings for SharePoint and OneDrive.

Alternatively, and if you don't have access these settings in the portals, you can use AllowFilesWithKeepLabelToBeDeletedSPO and AllowFilesWithKeepLabelToBeDeletedODB from Get-PnPTenant and Set-PnPTenant .

The retention label marks items as a record and it's locked .

Only when the record is unlocked, does a copy of the last version get stored in the Preservation Hold library.

The retention label marks items as a regulatory record , which always prevents the item from being edited or deleted.

After retention settings are assigned to content in a OneDrive account or SharePoint site, the paths the content takes depend on whether the retention settings are to retain and delete, to retain only, or delete only. In the explanations that follow, modified content is moved to the Preservation Hold library for retention policies, and retention labels that mark items as records (and the content is unlocked). Items that are modified with retention labels that don't mark items as records don't create copies in the Preservation Hold library, but do when items are deleted.

When the retention settings are to retain and delete:

If the content is modified or deleted during the retention period, a copy of the original content as it existed when the retention settings were assigned is created in the Preservation Hold library. There, the timer job identifies items whose retention period has expired. Those items are moved to the second-stage Recycle Bin, where they're permanently deleted at the end of 93 days. The second-stage Recycle Bin is not visible to end users (only the first-stage Recycle Bin is), but site collection admins can view and restore content from there.

To help prevent inadvertent data loss, we no longer permanently delete content from the Preservation Hold library. Instead, we permanently delete content only from the Recycle Bin, so all content from the Preservation Hold library now goes through the second-stage Recycle Bin.

If the content is not modified or deleted during the retention period, the timer job moves this content to the first-stage Recycle Bin at the end of the retention period. If a user deletes the content from there or empties this Recycle Bin (also known as purging), the document is moved to the second-stage Recycle Bin. A 93-day retention period spans both the first- and second-stage recycle bins. At the end of 93 days, the document is permanently deleted from wherever it resides, in either the first-stage or second-stage Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin is not indexed and therefore unavailable for searching. As a result, an eDiscovery search can't find any Recycle Bin content on which to place a hold.

Because of the first principle of retention , permanent deletion is always suspended if the same item must be retained because of another retention policy or retention label, or it is under eDiscovery holds for legal or investigative reasons.

When the retention settings are retain-only, or delete-only, the contents paths are variations of retain and delete:

Content paths for retain-only retention settings

If the content is modified or deleted during the retention period: A copy of the original document is created in the Preservation Hold library and retained until the end of the retention period, when the copy in the Preservation Hold library is moved to the second-stage Recycle Bin and is permanently deleted after 93 days.

If the content is not modified or deleted during the retention period: Nothing happens before and after the retention period; the document remains in its original location.

Content paths for delete-only retention settings

If the content is deleted during the configured period: The document is moved to first-stage Recycle Bin. If a user deletes the document from there or empties this Recycle Bin, the document is moved to the second-stage Recycle Bin. A 93-day retention period spans both the first-stage and second-stage recycle bins. At the end of 93 days, the document is permanently deleted from wherever it resides, in either the first-stage or second-stage Recycle Bin. If the content is modified during the configured period, it follows the same deletion path after the configured period.

If the content is not deleted during the configured period: At the end of the configured period in the retention policy, the document is moved to the first-stage Recycle Bin. If a user deletes the document from there or empties this Recycle Bin (also known as purging), the document is moved to the second-stage Recycle Bin. A 93-day retention period spans both the first-stage and second-stage recycle bins. At the end of 93 days, the document is permanently deleted from wherever it resides, in either the first-stage or second-stage Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin is not indexed and therefore unavailable for searching. As a result, an eDiscovery search can't find any Recycle Bin content on which to place a hold.

How retention works with cloud attachments

Cloud attachments are embedded links to files that users share, or referenced in interactions for Copilot for Microsoft 365. They can be retained and deleted when your users share them in Outlook emails and Teams or Viva Engage messages, and they are referenced in interactions with Copilot for Microsoft 365. When you automatically apply a retention label to cloud attachments , the retention label is applied to a copy of the shared file, which is stored in the Preservation Hold library.

For this scenario, we recommend you configure the label setting to start the retention period based on when the item is labeled. If you do configure the retention period based on when the item is created or last modified, this date is taken from the original file at the time of sharing. If you configure the start of retention to be when last modified, this setting has no effect for this copy in the Preservation Hold library.

However, if the original file is modified and then shared again, a new copy of the file as a new version is saved and labeled in the Preservation Hold library.

If the original file is shared again but not modified, the labeled date of the copy in the Preservation Hold library is updated. This action resets the start of the retention period and is why we recommend you configure the start of the retention period to be based on when the item is labeled.

Because the retention label is not applied to the original file, the labeled file is never modified or deleted by a user. The labeled file remains in the Preservation Hold library until the timer job identifies that its retention period has expired. If the retention settings are configured to delete items, the file is then moved to the second-stage Recycle Bin, where it's permanently deleted at the end of 93 days:

The copy that's stored in the Preservation Hold library is typically created within an hour from the cloud attachment being shared.

To safeguard against the original file being deleted or moved by users before the copy can be created and labeled, files in locations included in the auto-labeling policy are automatically copied into the Preservation Hold library if they are deleted or moved. These files have a temporary retention period of one day and then follow the standard cleanup process described on this page. When the original file has been deleted or moved, the copy for retaining cloud attachments uses this version of the file. The automatic and temporary retention of deleted or moved files in the Preservation Hold library is unique to auto-labeling policies for cloud attachments.

How retention works with OneNote content

When you apply a retention policy to a location that includes OneNote content, or a retention label to a OneNote folder, the different OneNote sections inherit the retention settings as individual files. Pages from each section are contained within the file and inherit the retention settings from their parent section.

Because of this structure, each section will be individually retained and deleted (with all its pages), according to the retention settings you specify.

Only sections are impacted by the retention settings that you specify. For example, although you see a Modified date for each individual notebook, this date is not used by Microsoft 365 retention.

How retention works with document versions

Versioning is a feature of all document lists and libraries in SharePoint and OneDrive. By default, versioning retains a minimum of 500 major versions, although you can change this limit. For more information, see Enable and configure versioning for a list or library and How versioning works in lists and libraries .

When a document with versions is subject to retention settings to retain that content, and it's not marked as a record, how the versions are stored in the Preservation Hold library changed in July 2022 to improve performance. Now, all versions of that file are retained in a single file in the Preservation Hold library. Before the change, versions were copied to the Preservation Hold library as separate files, and after the change, remain as separate files.

Versions that are from a record continue to be copied to the Preservation Hold library as separate files, which means that they can expire independently from each other and the current version.

If the label doesn't mark the item as a record and retention settings are configured to delete the item at the end of the retention period:

If the retention period is based on when the content was created, when labeled, or when an event starts, each version has the same expiration date as the original document. The original document and its versions all expire at the same time.

If the retention period is based on when the content was last modified:

• After the change where all versions of the file are retained in a single file in the Preservation Hold library : Each version has the same expiration date as the last version of the document. The last version of the document and its versions all expire at the same time.
• Before the change where versions were copied to the Preservation Hold library as separate files : Each version has its own expiration date based on when the original document was modified to create that version. The original document and its versions expire independently of each other.

When the retention action is to delete the document, all versions not in the Preservation Hold library are deleted at the same time according to the current version.

For items that are subject to a retention policy (or an eDiscovery hold), the versioning limits for the document library are ignored until the retention period of the document is reached (or the eDiscovery hold is released). In this scenario, old versions are not automatically purged and users are prevented from deleting versions.

That's not the case for retention labels when the content isn't subject to a retention policy (or an eDiscovery hold). Instead, the versioning limits are honored so that older versions are automatically deleted to accommodate new versions, but users are still prevented from deleting versions.

How retention works with Microsoft 365 Archive

For administrators, there's very little change to how retention policies and retention labels work and are managed for sites that use Microsoft 365 Archive . For example, the default policy configuration of all sites automatically includes archived sites as well as active sites. An active site that's included in a retention policy and then changed to be an archive site will continue to be subject to the configuration settings in the retention policy. The same applies to labeled items in a site that becomes archived. You can create a new retention policy for an archived site, and auto-apply retention labels for archived sites. Items still support disposition review, Power Automate actions, simulation mode is supported, policy lookup, adaptive scopes, and Microsoft Graph API to programmatically apply and manage retention labels are all supported for archived sites.

The one exception is for cloud attachments , where an item that's currently in an archived site won't be retained with an auto-apply retention label policy. Cloud attachments that were retained from an active site continue to to be subject to the configuration settings in the retention label.

Because users can't view and interact with items in archived sites, the user actions usually supported for retention labels won't be possible. For example, manually applying or removing retention labels, locking and unlocking records, editing of record properties that include the name and description. Similarly, although the Microsoft Purview portal and the Microsoft Purview compliance portal supports disposition review, the contents of an item under disposition review can't be displayed and the URL link to the item won't work.

When a user leaves the organization

SharePoint :

When a user leaves your organization, any content created by that user is not affected because SharePoint is considered a collaborative environment, unlike a user's mailbox or OneDrive account.

If a user leaves your organization, any files that are subject to a retention policy or has a retention label will remain subject to the retention settings for the duration of the retention period specified in the policy or label. During that time, all sharing access continues to work and the content continues to be discoverable by Content Search and eDiscovery.

When the retention period expires and the retention settings included a delete action, content moves into the Site Collection Recycle Bin and is not accessible to anyone except the admin.

Trouble finding SharePoint?

If you can't see or find the tile for the SharePoint app, look at your subscription information:

On the Office.com home page , near the upper right corner, select Install Office > Other install options .

On the My account page, select View subscriptions .

The Subscriptions page shows which apps and services are included in your Microsoft 365 subscription. 

Scan the lists to see whether SharePoint is included.

If SharePoint does appear in the list, contact your IT admin for assistance. Show the information from step 3 to your admin. That person should be able to make the appropriate apps and services like SharePoint visible to you when you sign in to office.com .

Tip:  If you're a small business owner looking for more information on how to get Microsoft 365 set up, visit Small business help & learning .
