1. when we have a document of .ppt in SharePoint library, which we can view the document in Browser view, it opens the document in PowerPoint Online Web application, is there any way to remove the Download Option from that view and to use the web-app only to view the document.
   (or)
2. If that is not Possible, then I have one query i.e., Can we Customize or Develop a Download Counter Functionality in that Browser View, it is like when user clicks the download button then the functionality counts the downloads did by user and reflect it over there in numbers beside download option.
