Inserting a website into a PowerPoint presentation can be a great way to showcase a live website during your presentation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:
Step 1: Activate the Developer Tab
First, you need to activate the Developer Tab on your PowerPoint. Go to ‘File’ > ‘Options’ > ‘Customize Ribbon’, then check the ‘Developer’ box under the ‘Main Tabs’ section.
Step 2: Insert a Web Browser for ActiveX control
Once the Developer Tab is activated, go to ‘Developer’ > ‘More Controls’ > ‘Microsoft Web Browser’, and then draw a box on the slide where you want the website to appear.
Step 3: Insert VBA Code
Right-click on the box you’ve just created, and select ‘View Code’. In the VBA window, you need to write a simple code that instructs PowerPoint to load a specific webpage when the slide is opened. Your code should look something like this:
Sub SlideShowBegin(s As SlideShowWindow) s.View.GotoSlide (2) End Sub Private Sub WebBrowser1_BeforeNavigate2(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant, Flags As Variant, TargetFrameName As Variant, PostData As Variant, Headers As Variant, Cancel As Boolean) URL = "https://www.slidegenius.com" End Sub
Replace ‘https://www.slidegenius.com’ with the URL of the website you want to display. Now, the website should load automatically when you reach this slide during the presentation.
Please note that this method requires that you have an internet connection during your presentation. Also, some websites may not support being displayed in this manner due to their security settings.
If you are not comfortable with coding, another simple method is to just take a screenshot of the website and insert it into your PowerPoint slide. This method does not require an internet connection during the presentation, and it ensures that you can display the website exactly as you want it to appear.
Whatever method you choose, always make sure to test it before your presentation to ensure everything works as expected.
