How to post PowerPoint files on Facebook?

As all of us know, Facebook is one of the largest social networking service with more than 1 billion active users. People update their status with words, photos and videos at home, at work or on the go. Thought I don't have many friends or fans, I do love to share my ideas with PowerPoint on Facebook. Since PowerPoint files are unable to be posted on one's status, you may ask such an question: How can you post PowerPoint on Facebook? There are two ways to do the trick. Now let's take a look.

Method 1 Upload PowerPoint with slideshare
SlideShare is the world's largest community for sharing PowerPoint presentations, documents, PDFs, videos and webinars. Our first method is to upload PowerPoint to the website and then share it to Facebook.

Search "slideshare" on the Facebook search bar and enter the app. It would require your log-in information. Then click Visit Website and jump to the upload page.

Slideshare app

Click Upload button on slideshare.com, choose the PowerPoint presentation from your computer hard disk. Depends on the file size, usually it takes a couple of minutes for uploading.

Now I successfully add a PowerPoint on Facebook. It's linked to slideshare.

Post a link

Limitation of slideshare: 

• As you see, I can post a link to the PowerPoint on my status. However the slideshow can not be shown on Facebook directly. You have no idea what I shared unless you click the link to watch the file.
• Besides the lack of preview, animation effects lost as well during upload process.

Method 2 Convert PowerPoint to video and upload

After conversion, you can upload the .wmv file to Facebook and then share it to others.
