Apple has made it possible to incorporate a Keynote presentation into a web page. In this tip, we’ll show you how to embed a Keynote.
Embed keynote
Since version 7.1 of Keynote for macOS and Keynote 3.1 for iOS, you can easily incorporate slides from a presentation into a website or blog. This is especially useful if you have already created a presentation and want to share its data with a wider audience.
By following the steps below you can prepare your presentation to be shared via a web page.
- Start the presentation you want to embed on your Mac or iOS device.
- Click the ‘Collaborate’ button on your Mac at the top of the screen. On iOS, this option is located under ‘More’ that you see at the top of the screen.
- Under sharing options you can set who can edit your presentation and whether a password is required. For publication on a website, ‘Read-only’, no password and anyone with the link is the best choice.
- Go back a step and choose ‘Copy link.’ Then click or tap Share, after which a long link to iCloud will end up in your clipboard.
Embedding via html
Apple does not offer an easy option to get the presentation to a website via html, for example. Fortunately, developer David MacDonald has one handy website put online with which you can generate code to put a presentation on a website via html. On this page, you only need to enter the iCloud link you obtained in the previous step. After that, it is a matter of putting the code in the right place on your website.
To keep your presentation working properly, you should keep the Keynote collaboration feature turned on. The moment you turn it off for a specific presentation, the link to the file no longer works. You will then have to share the presentation again if you want to put it back on a website.
