Two Ways to Share PowerPoint on Facebook

Facebook is a social networking site which is enormously popular. It can be used both for keeping tabs on friends, and as a highly effective business tool for marketing and connecting with customers. For individuals, funny presentations or photo slideshows are usually made with PowerPoint. When it comes to business, PowerPoint is frequently used for creating company profiles, product brochures or service advertisements.

For the wide spread of these PowerPoint files, upload the PowerPoint Presentation to Facebook seems like a good idea. So, how can we share these PowerPoint files on Facebook to let more people enjoy the fun or promote your business better? Here I would like to introduce two effective ways for you.

Solution 1: Use the Slideshare Application on Facebook

Facebook doesn’t support uploading and sharing PowerPoint files directly yet. But with this Slideshare application on Facebook, you can share the presentation easily.

Step1: Login Facebook with your account. Search “slideshare”, and add it in your application area. After you finish adding it, you will be able to see the SlideShare page appears on Facebook.

Step2: If you already have a SlideShare account, click Sync SlideShare.net Account. By doing this, the application will connect Facebook with your slideshare account. And then you will be able to see the presentations you uploaded to slideshare.

Step3: Click Upload to upload your PowerPoint files. After the uploading process is over, you can find the presentation in My Slidespace area. Click on the thumbnail of it, and you will be able to share and post it in your wall. Your friends can then view the presentation directly from Facebook, and post comments or likes.

Disadvantage: The animations, transitions, sounds and video clips in your presentation will not be retained. The PowerPoint file will be played just like a series of static pictures. If you want all the features you have added to PowerPoint presentation to be kept, you may use the second solution.

Solution 2: Share PowerPoint File as Video on Facebook

As we know, we can upload a video to Facebook directly. So, if we can transfer PowerPoint file to a video, sharing PowerPoint on Facebook will be no longer difficult. This PowerPoint to video converter is recommended for doing this: Wondershare PPT2Video Pro.

First, import PowerPoint files to this program. After that, choose the output video format as AVI, FLV, MPEG, MOV or WMV that Facebook supports. Finally click Start, and your presentations will be automatically converted to a Facebook compatible video with all elements retained. You can then upload the video to Facebook with your account directly.

With the two methods above, you can now share your PowerPoint files on Facebook easily. Have fun and make the most of it.
