Hello Kirtish,

Unfortunately we don't have official VBO for Microsoft PowerPoint, but there is one created and available from Digital Exchange website.

MS PowerPoint VBO

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Tomas

Hi @Kirtish Trivedi

1. you can download an image from url by using this Asset.
just you need to provide url and if needed you can also provide extension of image.
2. use an action copy to clipboard (optional)
3. use an action paste in slide using this Asset

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks

Also as PowerPoint exposes its object model via VBA , you can try using code stage to write your own custom code to interact with slides .
