How to Autoplaying PowerPoint Presentation from OneDrive Embed Link on HTML Webpage

Question

Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I hope this question finds you well. I am a full-time software freelancer and currently, I am working on a CMS project where users can create, upload, and manage content from their local computer or other cloud sources as per their need.

There I have a feature requirement where a user should be able to log in with their OneDrive account and can directly view the PPT which they have stored in their in-cloud section on my web application, and the main part is the user's PPT should get autoplay.

For this, I have used OneDrive API, so the PPT that embedded link (which as you know is an iframe link) comes from the user's OneDrive account and I am using that in my HTML body, and the PPT gets displayed on my webpage and we can manually go to next and first slide.

However I would enormously like to get autoplay done automatically which we are not able to do, after thorough research and testing, it seems that the autoplay functionality is not readily available for PPT embedded in OneDrive unlike other platforms such as Google Drive which provides the feature of looping which resolves the issue, I ought my user should be able to upload the PPT from OneDrive also as your user base is the highest.

So, My goal is to have the PPT autoplay when the webpage loads in that iframe embedded link, If there are any specific settings, APIs, or workarounds that I might have overlooked, I would appreciate your expertise in directing us toward a solution.

I believe that enabling this feature would significantly enhance the user experience on our website and provide a seamless presentation delivery.

I would be grateful if anyone could provide guidance or any available solutions that could help us achieve the autoplay functionality for PowerPoint presentations embedded from OneDrive on the HTML page.

Best regards, Vikas!
