Powerpoint not refreshing while presenting

Question

Hello everyone , 

i'm using power point 2016 professional plus ,

the issue i'm facing is that when i'm displaying the power point @ our office TV 

it wont get refreshed by itself when the same doc is edited by anyone of my colleagues . 

i did not attach excel tables or word documents in my slideshows .

Answer 1

Sorry, I'm not familiar with "Live Mode", I don't see any reference to that in PowerPoint. Perhaps you have an add-in installed that creates that, or perhaps you're thinking of Slideshow mode.

Using a dual-monitor setup with presenter view turned off, I can edit the presentation on one monitor while displaying it in Slideshow mode on the other. Edits show up in the presentation immediately. Perhaps the software you're using for sharing the file is interfering with that.

Answer 2

Hi again , 

Yes i did try the linked methods and they did not work 

what i mean by live mode is that power point has a feature called  ( live mode ) its basically a way to share that doc Live via shared link . 

what i need is to open a power point doc on our TV at work 

maintaining all the details required for our tasks displayed on the TV 

anyone of my colleagues can enter on that shared power point Doc and edit it and then the TV will show the last updated info edit by my colleagues ( without reopening Power point ) 

hope that is clear enough i really don't know any other way stating my issue .

Answer 3

we don't want to use the live mode Feature because the power point has to stay on in order for the live mode to be activated . 

I don't understand. If you want to update a running show, then PowerPoint stays on. I also don't understand your reference to "live mode". Do you mean Presenter View?

Did you try any of the methods posted at the link in my last reply?

Answer 4

Yes the thing i'm looking for is the file is being edited during slideshow mode and i wanted to let me Colleagues edit the Doc at the same time ,

For example 

I have the Doc in a shared LAN folder between my colleagues and if one them edit this Doc it wont be Updated on while display mode on our TV . therefor not Refreshed and we don't want to use the live mode Feature because the power point has to stay on in order for the live mode to be activated . 

Doc=power point slide show 

sry for my English

Answer 5

Is the presentation being edited while it is in slideshow mode? If so, please see the methods on this page: How to update a PowerPoint slide while presenting

If I have misunderstood your question, please add more detail to clarify the problem you're trying to solve.
