POTM to PPSX conversion is the process of transforming a PowerPoint template file (.potm), which can include macros and master slide layouts, into a PowerPoint Show file (.ppsx) that opens directly in presentation mode as a read-only slideshow. This conversion preserves slide layouts, embedded media and most macros' outputs (note: PPSX cannot store macros as executable VBA), enabling immediate playback without launching the editor.
