What is a .potm file?
POTM is a PowerPoint template that can contain VBA macros — rare, and usually for decks that generate slides from data or add custom navigation.

- Decks with custom navigation controls
- Interactive training formats
What opens a POTM file
- Microsoft PowerPoint, which prompts before enabling macros
- LibreOffice Impress, with partial support
How to host a POTM file
- 1
Drop your POTM file in
Drag it onto the box at the top of this page, or click to choose it. Files up to 25 MB are supported, and nothing is uploaded until you publish.
- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: interactive-template.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The file downloads. PowerPoint disables macros by default and warns the reader.
Why host a POTM file instead of emailing it?
Macro-enabled files get blocked by mail filters, so a link is often the only practical way to distribute one.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Explain what the macro does, or most recipients will decline.
- PowerPoint's built-in triggers handle much of what people write macros for.
- The VBA is readable by anyone who downloads it.
POTM hosting questions
- Do I need macros in a template?
- Rarely. PowerPoint's triggers, hyperlinks and animations cover most interactivity, and a plain POTX opens without warnings.
- Why the security warning?
- Macro-enabled files are disabled by default when they come from outside your organisation.
- Is the VBA visible?
- Yes, to anyone who downloads the file.
