Put a PowerPoint Deck on a TV as Digital Signage
Upload the .pptx file itself, no exporting to a video first or
screenshotting slides one at a time. InfoSlides renders every slide directly and loops
it on any screen you pair. Text and layout come through faithfully; read below for
exactly what doesn't, because it doesn't, and you should know before you upload.

What Happens to Your Deck
No conversion step for you to run yourself. Upload the original file and this is what InfoSlides does with it.
Upload the .pptx As-Is
No export, "save as video" or screenshot round-trip. The file you already have is the file you upload.
Every Slide Is Rendered Server-Side
Each slide becomes a full-resolution image, in order, with your text, images and layout intact, the same way any slide-to-image conversion works.
One Stream, Every Paired Screen
The rendered slides are encoded into a single video stream. Re-upload a revised deck later and the same stream updates, no re-pairing or file to push to each screen.
What Doesn't Survive the Conversion
Said plainly, up front, because a vague "some formatting may change" caveat is worse than useless when you're deciding whether to upload a specific deck.
Animations & Transitions
Entrance effects, motion paths and PowerPoint's own slide transitions do not play back. Each slide is rendered as one static image, so there's no timeline left for an animation to run on.
Uncommon Fonts
Standard Office fonts (Arial, Times New Roman and similar) render correctly. A custom or unusual font not installed on the rendering server falls back to a substitute, which can shift line breaks.
Embedded Video & Audio
A video or audio clip placed on a slide is rendered as a single still frame, silently. It does not play in the loop: if a clip is the point of the slide, it needs to run as its own media item instead.
What actually changes for you
No Export Step or File to Push to Each Screen
Most guidance for putting a PowerPoint file on a screen tells you to export it
to a video first, and that advice is sound, because PowerPoint's own
"Export to Video" renders your animations and transitions into the video file
itself. It keeps the motion InfoSlides can't. What it costs you is a manual
re-export every time the deck changes, and a video file you then have to get
onto each screen yourself. InfoSlides trades that animation fidelity for a
workflow with no export step at all: you upload the .pptx, InfoSlides
does the rendering, and what reaches the screen is the same text and layout you
built.
Update the deck later and re-upload it: the stream every paired screen already points at updates in place. Nobody has to walk to a TV with a USB stick, and nobody has to re-pair a device because the content changed underneath it.

Re-upload a revised deck → the same stream changes for every screen already paired to it.
PowerPoint Digital Signage: Common Questions
Do PowerPoint animations and transitions play on the TV?
No. Each slide is rendered as a single static image, so entrance animations, motion paths and PowerPoint's own slide transitions do not carry over. Text, images and layout render faithfully; motion does not.
Can I upload a .pptx file directly, or do I need to export it first?
You upload the .pptx directly; there's no export-to-video step to run yourself. InfoSlides renders the slides and encodes them into a stream on its own.
Will an embedded video or audio clip on a slide play?
No. A slide with an embedded video or audio clip is rendered as a single silent still frame, the same as any other slide. If a clip needs to actually play, add it as its own media item rather than embedding it inside a slide.
Will my fonts look right?
Standard Office fonts such as Arial and Times New Roman render correctly. An unusual custom or branded font that isn't installed on the rendering server falls back to a substitute, which can shift where lines wrap.
How long does each slide stay on screen?
InfoSlides controls that, not the timing you may have set in PowerPoint: a uniform default (10 seconds) that you can override per slide from the dashboard. "Advance after N seconds" settings from the original file are not read.
What happens if I update the PowerPoint file later?
Re-upload it. The stream every paired screen already points at updates in place; nobody needs to re-pair a device or receive a new file.
Does this work on a Samsung, LG or Android TV?
Yes. The rendered stream plays the same way regardless of source file. See the smart TV page for the specific routes onto each platform.
