  1. Open the pptx file from url/stream
  2. Replace the text
  3. Insert Images from url not from local folder
  4. Insert Videos from url not from local folder
  5. Create table structure to bind the data dynamically
  6. Save the edited file into Stream/byte array

@saleembaig,
Welcome to our community! Thank you for your request.

You can open a PPTX file from an URL or stream as below:

MemoryStream presentationStream;
using (var client = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    var presentationData = client.DownloadData(pptxUrl);
    presentationStream = new MemoryStream(presentationData);
}

presentationStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
var presentation = new Presentation(presentationStream);

You can replace a slide text as below:

var shape = (AutoShape) presentation.Slides[0].Shapes[0];
shape.TextFrame.Text = "some text";

You can insert images from an URL as below:

byte[] imageData;
using (var client = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    imageData = client.DownloadData(imageUrl);
}

var image = presentation.Images.AddImage(imageData);

var slide = presentation.Slides[0];
var shape = slide.Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 20, 20, 300, 200);
shape.FillFormat.FillType = FillType.Picture;
shape.FillFormat.PictureFillFormat.Picture.Image = image;

//load a thumbnail
using (var client = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
    var thumbnailData = client.DownloadData(thumbnailUri);
    videoFrame.PictureFormat.Picture.Image = presentation.Images.AddImage(thumbnailData);
}

You can save a presentation into Stream or byte array as below:

var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
presentation.Save(memoryStream, SaveFormat.Pptx);

memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
var byteArray = new byte[memoryStream.Length];
memoryStream.Read(byteArray, 0, (int)memoryStream.Length);
