Hi there,
Do you mean a slideshow like a Powerpoint presentation? That’s the only slideshow you can add that could be downloaded – image slideshows don’t have that option.
When you add a presentation slideshow to your site you’re adding a .ppt or .pptx file to your site’s media library. Those types of files can only be opened in Powerpoint or similar software. They cannot be opened in a web browser, which is why people get prompted to download the file instead so they can open it using the correct software on their computers.
If you want people to be able to open the file directly in their browsers, you need to use the Microsoft Onedrive web app or a Google Docs slideshow to embed the slideshow on your site instead:
