How do I link a PowerPoint from my computer?
In order to allow The Hive to link to files stored locally on your computer, you must install a third-party browser extension for Google Chrome that can do this.
There is more information about this in the Consent Information screen within the Links page.
If you do not use Google Chrome with this extension installed, you will not be able to open files that are one your computer directly from The Hive.
- Press on Content from the left-hand side menu and create an item.
While you can't upload files directly, you can use the 'Link' option to share your PowerPoint.
- Create a link and click 'From your computer'.
- If you haven't done so yet, please read and accept the consent information regarding the installation of a third-party extension.
- If you haven't installed it yet, please follow the in-app instructions to set up the third-party local links extension.
- Name your link and copy the path of your file from your computer.

- Click on 'Link to file' to create the link.
Note: Embedded slides are accessible within the Hive and can be configured as your slide decks for the day or for specific timetable entries. On the other hand, linked slides (like Google slide) open your file in a new tab for easy editing. When you embed a slide deck, it will display in presentation mode, and direct edits are not possible.

Alternative: Upload your PowerPoint presentations to OneDrive or Google Drive to be able to embed your slide deck within the Hive.
