There also is no built-in PP slideshow viewer, there is no Excel viewer, no Word viewer, etc., here at wordpress.com.

I have doubts there are any GPL PP slideshow viewers they can incorporate. I also have doubts there are any PP slideshow viewer plugins for browsers.

Some have turned the slideshows into movies and then posted those to Youtube or such and then put that video into their blogs, but if there is audio with it, the audio will not be in the video as I understand it.

Shouldn't it run as a slideshow automatically instead of opening in edit mode? Please advise. Thanks.

Can you help me understand why the slideshow won't run automatically, or if anyone else has been able to get this to work? Thanks.

We did find a bit of a glitch involving .ppsx filetypes. We've corrected it and they should upload without issue now.

I have been trying to upload a .ppsx file. It is not working.

I just checked in to this and everything should be working OK as far as I can tell.

Can you please try once more? If you are still experiencing a problem with it, please attach the presentation to an email, send it to support@wordpress.com, mention this forum thread, and just give us a little recap of the situation and we'll take a look at it for you.

Odd, it's mentioned in the accepted file types. I've added a tag so that hopefully Staff will look in and take action.

File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.

It shouldn't cause any issues to add this, and treat it identically to .ppt for security reasons.
