How to add a PowerPoint viewer into a React component?

To add a PowerPoint viewer into a React component, we can add a iframe that shows the PowerPoint slide’s with Microsoft’s online PowerPoint viewer.

For instance, we write:

import React from "react";

const linkToPPTFile =
  "https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/torman_personal/files/samplepptx.pptx";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <iframe
        src={`https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=${linkToPPTFile}`}
        width="100%"
        height="600px"
        frameBorder="0"
        title="slides"
      ></iframe>
    </>
  );
}

We want to show the PowerPoint presentation that’s located in the URL assigned to linkToPPTFile .

To show the slides, we add an iframe with src set to https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=${linkToPPTFile}.

We also set the width and height to set the dimensions.

And we set the frameBorder to 0 to remove the iframe border.

Conclusion

To add a PowerPoint viewer into a React component, we can add a iframe that shows the PowerPoint slide’s with Microsoft’s online PowerPoint viewer.
