Add Microsoft 365 PowerPoint to DAKboard:
IMPORTANT:
Due to recent changes in Microsoft and OneDrive, we can no longer support PowerPoint with DAKboard using the original methods. Though it is possible to put a PowerPoint on DAKboard, it can no longer auto-play. If you are looking to use a PowerPoint-like presentation on DAKboard see our article Google Sheets and Slides in DAKboard as slides will still auto-play at this time.
However, if you still wish to use a PowerPoint presentation on DAKboard, you can export your presentation as an MP4 file, host it on one of the supported Video Services (YouTube, Vimeo, or any site that you can generate a Video Playback URL), and use our Video blocks to host them.
To do this, open your PowerPoint app on your PC, access your Presentation, click on File, go to Export, and select Create A Video. See below:
Use the Settings options to create the video in the resolution you want and if you want the presentation using your Timing or set a specified time to switch the slides. Then click Create Video. See below:
Finally, upload your Video to YouTube, Vimeo, or any site you can generate a Secure URL to play your video from, add a Video Block to your Screen, and add the URL there. See our article How to Add a Video Block to your DAKboard Screen to see how to complete this.

Permissions:
You will need to have permission to embed the data from the account. If you are the account holder and the steps below do not work, check out the article Embed your Excel workbook on your web page or blog from SharePoint or OneDrive for Business to learn how to allow this.
If you are not the account holder or this is a corporate account, reach out to your IT team and ask if they can set these permissions.
