I try to put a presentation, without it being available in the created layout.Is there any care to have, other than the format?
Thank you

My apologies but I’m not sure I understood the question.

The title of your post states that Powerpoint is not available on the Layout. Does this mean that you are trying to show a PowerPoint presentation but it is not showing in your Layout?

If that is indeed the issue, please confirm what version of the Xibo player you are using.

Powerpoint Presentations are only available to use with the Xibo for Windows player and require a full release of Powerpoint to be installed on the device running the Player.

Below is a link to the Powerpoint documentation, which will talk you through how to use your Presentations with your Layouts. I would strongly recommend exporting your Presentation from Powerpoint as a video. You can then add that video to your Layout using the Video Widget instead.

Many Thanks.

— I already had this solution, and I think it will be the most viable.

Thank you for answering my questions and for confirming that the Video export is the most viable solution for you. I hope your issue is now resolved and you are able to display your presentations within your Layout.

Many Thanks.
