Are you present(ing)?
While in the PYPT after party last night @alessandrawhite was checking in about how to post a presentation on Hive, specifically a presentation made in Canva. @shadowspub suggested, from her own experience that best way would be to upload either a pdf of the presentation, or a video of it.
While bantering about it @wanderingmoon and I were wondering why we are unable to put up a presentation where the browser detects it is a pptx equivalent and does the needful to show it as a presentation. Markdown would not be able to do it. But what if we try it the html route. Would it work?
Hence trying it now :) [TLDR: Just go to the final conclusion ]
Using the share as embed option of Canva
It gives an error message suggesting the embedding is unsupported.
Put in the direct link
https://www.canva.com/design/DAGDfcT8jlY/Jp97VdraHaBu3CIZd8zVLg/view
It does not show it in the post though the link does work. However that extra click to go to the view is not desirable.
uploading the pptx directly.
No idea how to upload it into the blog store. I might need to first have the pptx stored somewhere else on the cloud and then link to it :(
Trying to showcase the view direct link through an add image as link option.
Code is too smart for that - not possible :D
Use Canva's save presentation as a gif and then upload as image.
While I boldly claim it works I must admit I am not a happy camper about it, mainly because the viewer has not control on what speed the slides move at. It is probably better than nothing for a small slide pack but might not be the best for large ones, or data heavy ones.
Trying the iframe route
Upload to Google Drive and the use publish to web to get the embed code
Nope! That's unsupported too :(
I feel like there is a trick I am missing here but no idea what it is. To be pursued later :) Till then,
Conclusion and a Sample post
Hello patient readers, thank you for reading till here. If I make a presentation in Canva, I would put a gif of the presentation in my post, like so,
And then also put a link to the view of the presentation, like so,

Cheerio!!!

Presentation made by me in Canva to try out this experiment.
I was actually surprised about the slides as video idea @shadowspub mentioned. Until @alessandrawhite brought it up it was not even a thought of an idea in my head. 😁😁
Come to think of it, I have never thought of it before!! Like I meant presenting a video/slide presentation on hive although it seemed the gif pattern worked and I would be trying that!
Thanks for pointing out this and hopefully I await you as you get to figure another way hehe...😁
Ohhh niceeee!!!
Thank you for this, I’m getting so excited as to how I can do a lot of slide shows with my crochet.

I see it worked, this is cool, well done.

Yes. The gif way is decent, as is the mp4 way. I would have preferred actual ppt to be embed so that it would move ahead on user click. The Gif way is a decent compromise.
Keep up with the good work 👍👍

This is really not that bad. I guess this process is quite helpful.
Thanks for sharing❤
#dreemerforlife
yes within given constraints it is a good enough solution. thanks to @shadowspub to make me look down this path
I don't think a presentation can be done on Hive, especially not working with markdowns. I have not seen one before here and I guess it would be an amazing update if such is worked on in the future.

The Gif does work, but I am with you, if there was a heavy presentation with more than a handful of slides then it would be a bit different.
I wonder if all the frontends behave like that. I know wean embed things in InLeo and it acts different to PeakD.
