How to run Powerpoint slides or MP4 in Intune windows 10 KIOSK machines.

I have a requirement to create a KIOSK machine (Big monitors for display alone) where we need to run\show only powerpoint slides\MP4 videos\company updates.

As described in the MS forum- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/kiosk-settings-windows , i have enrolled the Win 10 devices, applied Kiosk configurations and enabled Auto logon in the Intune portal.

Output:

  • Auto Logon is performed correctly.

  • After logging on, the Edge is automatically started and opens the specific home page.

But our Expectation is:
Instead of a web browser, we need to play the PPT presentation or run Mp4 file in loop mode.

Tried below options,
MP4: Exported PPTX file to video. Added the URL - http:\\xx\test.mp4 in the configuration profile. It is steaming correctly but once the video timeline is over, not looping the video.
PPT slides: I Exported PPTX file to Test.ppsx and added it in the configuration profile, http:\\xx\test.ppsx file, not working as expected (Download failed)


Any suggestion please?

Hi @MuneerJahangeer-4994

As I do not have the KIOSK machine, could you please let us know how did you install PowerPointm? Such as from store or via Win32?

Besides, can you run PowerPoint to show your presentations in loop mode instead of displaying it on Edge?

The new windows 10 machines have an inbuilt O365 office version where we can play the slides without activating the license. (Note: I believe activation is required only if we want to edit the slides)

Hi @MuneerJahangeer-4994

Thanks for your reply.

Form the Office's perspective, I would suggest you go to Slide Show tab > Set Up group > Set Up Slide Show > Tik the box of "Browse at the kiosk (full screen)".

Select the sliders, go to Transitions tab > Timing tab > set the Duration. The duration time can be set to be different for different sliders.

And then please play this presenation on your machine to have a check.

Yes, I have already tried those steps . After enable this option "Browse at kiosk",   If you open the URL - http:\\server\test.pptx, it tries to download the file instead of playing the slides automatically.

Also due to the KIOSK restrictions, browser (Edge or KIOSK browser) is not allowing any files to download. 

For your reference, I have opened the URL - http:\\server\test.pptx in my testing machine. the file is downloaded but not playing the slides.

Thanks for your explanation, this does not rule out that this Browse at the kiosk (full screen) feature is not supported in your environment.

I would suggest you open a ticket to seek assistant from Microsoft directly, the related team will review your problem and help you test remotely.

Thanks for your understandings.

As far i know, there is no separate policy applied to stop any process in MS office.Are you able to play the powerpoint slides automatically if you enable this option?

Hi @MuneerJahangeer-4994
Sorry for the delay.
So far, I do not find the test environment, KIOSK machine with PowerPoint installed.
I am unable to do tests for a confirmation for you. Thanks for your understanding again.

Hi @MuneerJahangeer-4994

If you make a simple html file with the loop attribute you can make it constantly loop:

 <!DOCTYPE html>
 <html>
 <body>
    
 <h1>The video loop attribute</h1>
    
 <video width="320" height="240" controls loop>
   <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
   <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
   Your browser does not support the video tag.
 </video>
    
 </body>
 </html>

Thanks for providing the sample HTML file. yes this script works as expected. but my requirement is to play the PPT slides\images with company logo + BBC RSS feed. Also during festival season, we need to merge the video files as well. Sometime, we need to play video alone.

I think we need to develop the html code that should work with any scenario. As it is part of development work (do not have good experience on this), looking for an alternative software where it should meet all requirements (free or cost). It is really hard to find such html code on websites.

No problem.

You could export PowerPoint as a movie and adjust the HTML page to be Fullscreen or even include a cover html company graphic.

I think that is going to be on of the easier ways in Kiosk mode

Ideally if you can store it remotely you can just change the video as you require / update the html if needed.
