Unable to upload PowerPoint 2013 Slides to Slide library on SP 2013

Hello everybody,
for some time now we are unable to upload slides to SharePoint 2013 slide library.
Neither uploading via the button in the library nor in the PowerPoint via Share>Publish Slides. It does not show up any error, but it also does not show up, the it has been updated. When I refresh the library there are no changes as well.
I have tried to upload different slides. I have already created a new slide library on this Team site and on other one, but this issue is still persist.
What is the reason for this? Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Slide Library is a deprecated feature. There are design limitation in SharePoint Server 2013.
This issue occurs because the Slide Library ActiveX control is not part of the Office Home and Student 2013 RT installation, nor is it installed when you perform an Office 2013 Click-to-Run installation.
Though we can create a Slide Library in SharePoint 2013 through navigating to
http://yourwebappname/yoursitename/_layouts/15/slnew.aspx?FeatureId={0be49fe9-9bc9-409d-abf9-702753bd878d}&ListTemplate=2100
, this library seems to be the same we had on SharePoint 2010. Also FeatureId is the same as in SharePoint 2010.
As a workaround, we can insert slides from PowerPoint files (see
Copy and reuse slides from another presentation file).
In addition, Office Web Apps (as part of SharePoint 2013) allow SharePoint users to view and edit Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc.) from within the browser. Typically we can click on a link to a PowerPoint, for example in a document library,
and be taken to a new page to present PowerPoint.

You're probably trying to purchase iTunes Plus songs - which, yes, will require an updated version of iTunes to purchase. To play them, however, you won't need to update iTunes. This, like you said, will force you to purchase them on another computer and then transfer.

Cannot Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

I have the 64-bit version of Windows 8 Release v1.0, Internet Explorer version 10 (10.0.9200.17183), Office 2013 Professional 32-bit, and a SharePoint 2010 environment. I cannot publish slides to the SharePoint environment at all. When
I attempt to do so from PowerPoint 2013, I receive an error indicating all slides (X of X) failed to upload. When I attempt to use the option in the SharePoint 2010 Slide Library (Upload > Publish Slides) I receive the error of "This feature
requires Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. Either the application is not installed, or your browser is not configured to support ActiveX controls."
I have added the URL for the site in question to my "Trusted Sites" in Internet Explorer 10. I read through the KB 2716529. There is no TabProcGrowth registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but there is one under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
and the value is set to "Medium" which appears to be accurate. I tried running the "Fix it For Me" option offered with that KB, and the wizard indicated the problem could not be found on my computer.
How can I resolve this issue? Utilizing slide libraries is a very important feature of SharePoint for my organization, and going back to Office 2010 is simply not an option.

Hi Jen_O,
According to your description, my understanding is that you were unable to publish Slides into SharePoint 2010 with Office 2013.
For narrowing this issue, let's verify the followings:
Please test on other machines with the same system configuration, compare the result.
Please test on other machines with 32-bit system and IE 10, compare the result.
Whether you are able to publish Slides from Windows 7 and Office 2013 32-bit.
Whether this issue occurres for all slide files with Office 2013.
Please create a new slide in PowerPoint 2013, and check if it could be uploaded into a new Slide library.
In addition, Office Web Apps (as part of SharePoint 2010) allow SharePoint users to view and edit Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel etc.) from within the browser. Typically we can click on a link to a PowerPoint, for example in a document library,
and be taken to a new page to present PowerPoint.

Can't Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

Hello all,
When I attempt to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides to a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library it informs me that it failed. I am able to publish PowerPoint 2010 slides without issue. All of my permissions are correct. Is it possible to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides
to SharePoint 2010?
The weird thing is that while I can't publish, I can compile a new slide deck in PowerPoint 2013 using the "Copy slide to presentation" button in the slide library of my SharePoint 2010 site.
Thanks!

When I get this error it is because SharePoint is not passing the credentials to the network share where the slide library is located. So when PowerPoint
tries to upload slides to SharePoint it is giving an error of unauthorized (because your credentials are not being passed correctly). Every part of SharePoint is essentially a network shared drive just like you have an internal network to share files between
employees. Assuming you are having the same problem for the same reason, here's the work around:
Set up a mapped network drive that goes to where the slide library is located. It should be something like this: \\sp.sharepoint.com@SSL\site\Sales\Slide Library
When you connect to this drive it will prompt you for a log in (just like SharePoint would)
Once you log in your credentials will be cached (until you reboot your system or it times out)
You can then publish to your PowerPoint slides to the library either directly through PowerPoint or by going to the upload slides option on SharePoint
The problem is it only last until you reboot. When you reboot it clears out your credentials then you have to log in again. I’m hoping someone can figure out why SharePoint is
not passing the credentials properly so we can have true fix to this issue. Until then, this will get you by.

Can't publlish slides from Powerpoint 2013 to sharepoint slide gallery

Just upgraded to office 2013 - previously had 2007. I had no problems in the past publishing slides to my slide gallery in Sharepoint, or copying slides from the gallery to Powerpoint. Now I can't publish and I can't copy to Powerpoint from sharepoint.
I have a couple slide libraries in my sharepoint... so when I go to publish from PowerPoint 2013 I browse and choose the right one
https://[our server]/sales/2012%20Sales%20Slides/
Then hit publish... I'm trying this for a single slide only. When I do so I get the error:
1 of 1 slides that were being published to https://[our server]/sales/2012 Sales Slides/ filed. Try publishing again.
When I try selecting slides from my gallery and hit the "Copy to Slide Presentation" button I get the error:
This feature requires Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later.
I'm using IE9. SharePoint 2007
Please help.

I am having this same issue.. I have about 8 users that can't publish from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 but I also have a few that can. The interesting part is the ones that can publish were all upgrades rather than fresh installs. I created a fresh
VM of Windows 8 and Office 2013 and was unable to publish. However, when I uninstalled 2013 and installed 2010 on the same VM I was able to publish. I then upgraded to 2013 and was able to publish UNTIL I rebooted at which point I was unable to publish. The
frustrating part is there are no errors anywhere: event viewer, SP logs, Office UI, nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am pretty much out.

How do I Update PowerPoint 2013 Slide Deck Preview Thumbnail?

I often copy previous presentations and revamp them for my next presentation. I notice that after changing the title slide in PowerPoint 2013 the embedded thumbnail.jpeg file is not updated. Ordinarily I would not care, but recently I am presenting to two
competing comanies and I cannot have the branding for one company on the presentation for another.
Short of completely recreating the deck, is there a way to force the update of the thumbnail.jpeg file in the PPTX?
Thanks!
Matthew
Matthew McDermott, MVP SharePoint

OK, I discovered that You can go to Backstage and chose Properties | Advanced Properties | Summary | Save preview with picture. Uncheck and save then recheck and save and PowerPoint will refresh the thumbnail...unless it doesn't. Which was true for half
of my decks.
For those I:
Renamed the file to zip
Deleted the thumbnail.
Renamed the file back to PPTX
Opened in PowerPoint.
Let PowerPoint perform the repair.
Toggle the preview setting as above

Running Captivate 8 on a Macbook and I am unable to import Powerpoint 2011 (which is up to date) files or slides. I get an error saying that either the file is damaged or I am using an older version of PP....which is not the case.

Running Captivate 8 on a Macbook and I am unable to import Powerpoint 2011 (which is up to date) files or slides. I get an error saying that either the file is damaged or I am using an older version of PP....which is not the case. I tried creating a very simple PP file with just a few words on one slide...ran a compatibility check and all was good. Still could not import that simple slide into Captivate.

OK...found out it did not like me saving as a *.pptx. When I save it as a *.ppt file it imported in correctly. Is this what I will need to do moving forward? I am not sure if I am losing any functionality in the process...

How to add sound in each slide of powerpoint 2013

Hi,
I want to add sound in each slide of my powerpoint presentations in 2013.Please let us know how to do these things.
Regards
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
I would like to confirm that how exactly you want PowerPoint 2013 to play a sound. For example, add sound to your PowerPoint slide transitions, add background music, or play a sound during an Animation.
To play a sound during a transition, go to the Transitions tab on the ribbon, apply a transition, then click the drop-down for
Sound, and choose one from the list.
To add audio in the background, you can go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click the
Audio button, choosing Online Audio... to search a clip media on Office.com or select a sound from your computer by selecting
Audio on My PC...
To add sound effects to an animation, you can refer to this article:https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-sound-effects-to-an-animation-7d0e2d70-caca-495e-a738-a8257474605e

Record narration in Powerpoint 2013 with returns to previous slides

Hi,
I am trying to record narration on a Powerpoint slide show (Powerpoint 2013). However I discovered that I can go only forward with slides. When I return to a previous slide the audio simply overwrites the narration of the first visit to the slide.
I s there any way to have Powerpoint store multiple audio segments and the timing on returning to previous slides ?
Thanks

Hi,
Could you please tell me how do you record narration in PowerPoint 2013? Do you use record slide show from Slide Show?
If yes, it records narration on each slide not by time. This is why you return to a previous slide the audio simply overwrites the narration of the first visit to the slide.
For more reference about record slide show:

Unable to edit Visio 2013 drawing in Powerpoint 2013

Hello,
I'm unable to edit drawings created in Visio 2013 that I've embedded in Powerpoint 2013 - they copy over as pictures and I can only edit them as such.
Interestingly, I CAN edit Visio 2013 drawings that I have embedded in Powerpoint 2002/XP.
I'm embedding by simply copying the drawing and then pasting on the slide.
Thanks,
Tyson

Open PowerPoint 2013, go to Insert tab > Object > Create a new "Microsoft Visio Drawing", I can edit the drawing what I wanna edit.
open Visio 2013, create a new Drawing File and save as .VSDX file format, and then drag and move this file into a new creaing PPT, I can still edit it as expected.
A bit more background information and your exact steps how you got to this point would be helpfu

SharePoint 2010 Slide Library Unable To Select Managed Metadata When Publishing.

Hello,
I'm running into some problems with Managed Metadata when uploading (publishing) slides in a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library. If I have Managed Metadata Site Columns that are set to be required in my slide library, and I publish my slide(s) into the
SharePoint 2010 Slide Library I'm not prompted to enter in my required Metadata before the slide is published. The slide will upload, but then I would need to edit the slide and then enter in the required Metadata.
If I create a new column with a type set to Choice for example, and set it to be required and I upload (publish) a slide I'm now prompted to enter in the required Metadata, but all the Managed Metadata choices are grayed out and I'm unable to select anything.
I'm able to select a Choice for the new column.
Is this a bug within SharePoint 2010 that does not allow me to enter in Required Managed Metadata Tags on uploading (publishing) slides?
Regular document libraries work just fine with required Managed Metadata.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the Managed Metadata not prompted to enter value in the required metadata.
I had tested with this issue, and I found the same issue.
We will help to submit the issue to proper pipeline for you.
Again, thank you for your report which will definitely make SharePoint a better products. There might be some time delay.
Appreciate your time and patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Powerpoint Master Slide only works on first 600 slides

I have a presentation with 3600 slides in PowerPoint 2010 and I'm trying to use a master slide to change the font color and background color of all slides. I've created a master slide and have changed the background color and all the slides did change.
However when I change the font color only the first 600 slide changed there font color. I changed the font on all the different levels of slides in the slide master.
why767

Hi,
In PowerPoint, the Slide Master is the template for your presentation. If you make a change to the Slide Master, it will change for your entire presentation. However, if you have already applied formatting to one of your individual slides, it
will not follow the guidelines of the Slide Master. He had changed the layout and formatting on some of his individual slides, and then made changes to the Slide Master, thinking that the changes would be applied to the slides that he had edited
individually.
To reapply the Slide Master formatting to several slides at once, you can select multiple slides and following the same steps from Home > Slides > Reset.
Hope it can be helpful.

Powerpoint text slides unreadable

Hello, I am inserting Powerpoint(2007) slides into a video of a presentation. These slides have a lot of text on them, and when I put them into Premiere, they become virtually unreadable. The only effect I am adding is .5 anti-flicker, which blurs the slides a bit and makes them a LITTLE more readable (1.0 anti-flicker just looks like I need glasses).
The slides are exported from PPT as bitmaps to avoid text compression issues. Their native resolution is 960x720 (4:3), while the video is 720x480 (3:2). I'm reducing each slide to about 50% of its original size so it will fit on the screen.
I've looked around for anything that would help make this text readable, but I was unsuccessful so far. I am using Adobe CS3.
Thanks for any help!

The issue becomes one of building a PP slide for computer screens, which are typically much higher resolution than TV screens. PP creators aren't often aware of this and so don't take any care to make their slides "TV friendly" (text size, overscan, interlacing, etc.)
You may simply have to rebuild the slides in Premiere/Photoshop, or even redesign the entire presentation as making the text large enough to read might also make it too large to fit all of it on the same slide.
What would be nice is if Microsoft would incorporate a sort of "Video Mode" into PowerPoint, which will only allow 720 x 480 screen sizes, will not allow any elements but the background to be placed outside of a 10% Safe Title area, will not allow any text with point sizes to small to read when displayed on a 27' TV from 13 feet away, would not allow any 'unsafe' colors, and such like that. Only then can we video producers get truly compatible PowerPoint's from out clients (who would be fully expected to design their presentations using the TV Template from scratch, or redesign it after the fact if they decide later they want to add it to a video.)

Is it possible to Update Powerpoint slides from the Sharepoint slide-library using Macros when its in read-only mode?

As Wendy Li informed that PPT ask you to update from slide library automatically. But this happens only if the slides are saved in your system(in read write mode). Is it possible to run the updates automatically on Read-only slides as well.
Thanks.
Old:
Currently I'm executing the task manualy by using the Check for updates option. But I'm willing to develop a macro code which can be executed when the slide is open and automatically replaces the slides with the latest one from the Slide-Library. Any links
to pre-existing code will be helpful. Thanks.

Hi SamGoe,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the PoerPoint slide from SharePoint 2010 slide library automatically.
It seems to be not necessary to use Macros. SharePoint provides an OOB way to notify you to check for update to the slide library slides when you open the presentation. PowerPoint does this because you selected the option
Tell me when this slide changes when you copied the slides from the library.
More information, please refer to the link below:
