How to Embed Joomla Slideshare Presentations

How to Embed Joomla slideshare presentations

If you use Joomla, then you've had problems with embeds.

Before the launch of the OSEmbed extension, it was difficult to reliably embed any outside sources into your Joomla articles.

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how easy it is to embed Slideshare presentations into Joomla.

Step #1. Install OSEmbed

Download OSEmbed. Choose either the Free or Pro options

Step #2. Get the Slideshare presentation URL

  • Visit Slideshare.net and find the presentation you want to embed.
  • Find the URL for the presentation.

Here are some examples URLs of Slideshare presentations:

Step #3. Add the Joomla Slideshare Embed

  • Go to your Joomla site and login.
  • Add the Slideshare presentation URL to a Joomla article:

If you have the Pro version of OSEmbed, the URL will automatically be turned into a working Slideshare presentation! You'll see a preview inside the editor:

That Joomla slideshare embed will work perfectly on the front of your site also:
