How can I make a PowerPoint play on a loop in sharepoint? (its a teams sharepoint)

Question

Hello, I have a PowerPoint that I have embedded Excel tables that are linked to another Excel document. I have this on a Teams page so those I give access to can update this PowerPoint. I want this PowerPoint to play on a loop on a separate computer screen connected to a TV/Monitor on my shop floor. However, this is a general account, so I can't log into Teams to play from there. So, the idea is to play from SharePoint via the link. But as we all know, Microsoft, for some reason, won't allow PowerPoints to play on a loop in SharePoint. So, my main question is, is there a workaround for this?

Thank you in advance!!

Hi @Andrew Paine,

Unfortunately, looping a PowerPoint presentation directly in SharePoint is not supported by Microsoft. However, there is a workaround that you can try. You can convert your PowerPoint presentation to a video format that supports looping, such as MP4, and then upload it to Microsoft Stream, OneDrive for work or school, or SharePoint. From there, you can embed the video in SharePoint and set it to loop.

To convert your PowerPoint presentation to a video, you can follow the steps in this article: Turn your presentation into a video. Once you have the video file, you can upload it to Microsoft Stream or SharePoint, and then embed it in SharePoint.
