Launch PowerPoint in Slide Show mode

Does anyone know how to launch a PowerPoint stored in SharePoint in slide show mode?

I saved the file as .pptx and .ppsx and used the Launch function in a button, but either option launches in SharePoint online in Edit mode.

Thanks!

Hi TicaAppBuilder,

You're in the Power Apps forums, which is very different from PowerPoint. You will want to check the Office forums here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum

I realize that, but I am launching from PowerApps. Anywhere else that I launch from a .ppsx, it launches in Slide Show mode. Is there something special I need to do in PowerApps to make it work like it's supposed to?

Dear Tom,

The question corresponds to this forum. Who posted is asking how to launch PowerPoint from PowerApps. It's PowerApps the tool that has to be used to apply the change.

You can use this that gets close to the result desired:
Launch("ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|" & "url_of_the_file.ppsx")

Here you may find more information about it:

I hope it helps.

Have you tried using the code above? Didn't it work?
Launch("ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|" & "url_of_the_file.ppsx")

Hello,

Yes, it launches the PowerPoint app but sadly it only opens in view only mode and not in presentation mode. Do you know if we have a way to open it directly in presentation mode like every .ppsx do when double clicked in windows? Or is it a limitation due to PowerPoint or power apps?

Regards
