Make PowerPoint uploads more responsive as embeds

Some students are required to submit PowerPoint presentations in their courses. While students can directly submit that file type to assignments, and tech-savvy students can export their PPTX files as PDFs or videos, this leaves out a significant portion of not-so-savvy students who tend to upload their presentations to Echo360 for embedding in a discussion. These students embed audio files, cameos, and YouTube videos on the various slides. If these uploads could be made fully accessible, it would simplify this type of submission in discussions.

A quick note for context: If anyone is familiar with Canva's live embed feature, it allows one to embed a presentation using HTML, maintaining the integrity of YouTube videos, URLs, Cameo insertions, audio, etc. PowerPoint for the browser doesn't support audio or video embeds, and uploading a PPTX file made from one's device breaks all these features. Echo360 could effectively compete with Canva's live embed feature if it could support audio, video, URL, and embedded videos with PowerPoint file uploads.
