How to display a PPT as part of the widget?

[vidhya_mouli]

I have a widget with the following code:

HTML:

<div>
<h1>
  Display PPT
  </h1>
    <p>  {{data.IncidentNumber}}  </p>
  
<div id="ppt-widget">
    <iframe src="$viewer.do?sysparm_stack=no&amp;sysparm_sys_id=f2253344830e42102a921630ceaad3d1" width="100%" height="100%"> </iframe>
  </div>

</div>

Server Script:

(function() {
    var incidentSysId = '35e47f48830e42102a921630ceaad374';
    var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
    if (gr.get(incidentSysId)) {
        data.IncidentNumber = gr.getDisplayValue("number");
    } else {
        data.IncidentNumber = 'Incident not found';
    }

})();

However this is prompting me to download the presentation. I want to display it directly. How to do this?

Hi @vidhya_mouli ,

You must use a compatible viewer that allows for the embedding of PowerPoint files if you want to display a PowerPoint presentation (PPT) inside a widget without requiring a download. Depending on the platform or viewer you are using, there may be different ways to achieve this.
For example, if you upload the presentation to OneDrive:

• Upload the PPT file to one of these services and obtain an embeddable link.
• Replace the src attribute in your iframe with the embeddable URL.

<div>
    <h1>Display PPT</h1>
    <p>{{data.IncidentNumber}}</p>
    <div id="ppt-widget">
        <iframe src="https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=YOUR_PPT_FILE_URL" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
    </div>
</div>

Thank you. It helped and it works. But I have a follow up question. This file is attached to the incident and I will be displaying it in the portal. Is it possible to directly get the attachment and display it instead of uploading it somewhere else.

I used the following code, but getting an error:

<div id="ppt-widget">
<iframe src='https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=https://myinstance/$viewer.do?sysparm_stack=no&sy...' width='100%' height='100%' frameborder='0'></iframe>
</div>
