Embed Sli.do, Kahoot!, or anything else into your PowerPoint
You can embed ANY web page into your PowerPoint slideshow!
The steps below will show you how to embed a Sli.do poll into your slideshow. The steps are virtually identical if you’re using Kahoot!, Poll Everywhere, or just about any other website.

If you have any questions or you’d like to schedule a 1-on-1 training session to learn more about PowerPoint or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
How to Embed Live Websites into Your PowerPoint Slideshow
Do you get tired of having to switch back and forth between websites and your PowerPoint slideshow during a lecture? Do you wish it were possible to add that website right to your slideshow?

For newer versions of PowerPoint (2013, 2016, Mac), you can download the Web Viewer add-in and place web pages right into a slide within your slideshow.
