Hi
Having read a number of posts re using PowerPoint in Miro, I’d like to confirm something.
When you import a PP slide deck into Miro, it creates a ‘stack’ of the slides, and you have to page through them one by one.
I’d like to import the slides so that they appear as individual slides, so that people can draw on them.
Possible?
Thanks

Once you upload the PowerPoint deck, you can use the extract pages option in the toolbar to extract some or all of the individual slides:

I really love this feature to extract all the PowerPoint slides, however on more than one occasion I try and extract the slides and nothing happens.
I then tried and do the same with another PP doc (on the same board) and the extraction works.
If you could let me know what I need to do to ensure the ‘extract’ option works all the time, that would be great =]
Another issue I have had is that the uploaded slides (whether extracted or not) are not properly formatted - usually because I am using a non-standard font - but it also struggles with some diagrams too.
The work around I use is to export my powerpoint presentation into a pdf document (with page settings to match the format of slides such as widescreen) and then the formatting is preserved.
I would love to see Miro being able to consume Sharepoint-style URLs to embed Powerpoint and other Microsoft Office documents.
We have Miro integration with Teams, but once you’re in Miro, support for Microsoft documents from the Microsoft Teams ecosystem is not good. Sharepoint URL support would be a huge step forward.

Are the changes to the powerpoint at source will be updated in Miro. It always opens the slide at the 1st page, but I need it to open a specific slide on refresh. I tried to load the asset mode and added the desired slide as an asset. However this slide is not updating when the same slide at the source powerpoint was changed. Seems each time for reflecting the changes I need to re-add the slide as asset. The good thing is that it updates the same asset with new changes. can the once added asset be updated automatically for future changes to that slide?

Currently, Miro does not support automatic updates to embedded PowerPoint slides when the source file changes. Each time you update the PowerPoint, you’ll need to re-add the slide as an asset to reflect the latest changes.
If you'd like to see this functionality in Miro, I recommend submitting a feature request to the Miro Wish List. This helps the team track demand and prioritize improvements.
Let me know if you have any other questions! 😊
