This guide works with presentations that are online in Microsoft OneDrive.

If you want to ensure that your organization allows the use of the OneDrive app, read how to do so here:

Find the code for the desired presentation
1. Log in to OneDrive in a web browser and locate the desired presentation.
2. Go to Files.
A PowerPoint presentation open on a computer screen with a default title slide and a 'Designer' panel offering various slide design suggestions.

3. Click on Share with users.
PowerPoint's 'Share' menu open with options to share with users, with a highlighted feature for inviting others to view or edit the presentation.

4. Copy the sharing link.
A dialog box in PowerPoint for sharing 'Presentation.pptx', with options to enter a name or email, add a message, and a highlighted 'Copy link' button.


Now, the code needs to be inserted into the "OneDrive" app.

1. Insert the OneDrive app into your design. Click on the image.

2. Click in the middle of the app.
