Create an application for VKontakte in PowerPoint (step-by-step instructions)
You can create a VKontakte application from a simple PowerPoint presentation. Certified Microsoft trainer and eLearning expert Dmitry Yakushev will tell you how to do this.
On October 25, 2021, VKontakte reported that special applications can be connected to groups and communities. In essence, they make public pages a full-fledged replacement for websites.
You can install the following applications on your VK page:
Dmitry Yakushev, eLearning expert, Microsoft Office product trainer
Those for whom such an arsenal is not enough can create the VKontakte application themselves. Since I teach how to work with Microsoft products professionally, I created two Excel applications:
- Excel knowledge test Master Excel (I);
- TOP 20 Excel formulas.
They were based on simple PowerPoint presentations. Let me note that there are two types of applications in VK: flash and iframe. You can read more about each type here.
I will teach you how to create a Flash application. Go!
Step 1. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation
Let's consider the option when we have a ready-made presentation and need to turn it into an application.
What you need to create a VK application:
- iSpring Suite program versions from 7.0 to 8.7. The trial version can be downloaded here.
- The presentation with the material is the basis for the application. You can use a wide variety of content: videos, interactivity, surveys, etc. It all depends on what you want to create: a test, a glossary on a specific topic, or a slide-based e-course.
For example, I had a course with 10 Excel lessons. Each lesson is a video on a specific topic. Now the VKontakte course looks like this.
Tip: To make a presentation with a lot of video materials take up as little space as possible, post the video files on YouTube. Insert the link to the videos into the presentation. How to do this is described in the lesson:
In my case, after transferring the video to YouTube, the 182 Mb presentation began to weigh only 1.7 Mb. Size matters, because applications are larger than 12 Mb. You cannot install VKontakte.
Step 2. Publish the application to your computer
One of the most important, but very simple steps:
- On the iSpring Suite toolbar, click Publish.
- Select the CD tab and select which folder to save the application to.
- In the Output format section, check the boxes next to For computer (flash) and One Flash file.
- Click the Publish button.
Publishing will take a few minutes. Next, go to the folder where you saved the application and find the movie.swf file. It will come in handy later.
Step 3. Create a VKontakte application
By default, all social network users have Developer mode turned off. To activate it, follow this link.
If you have never created an application before, a page like this will appear:
In the future, all your apps will appear here. The next steps are:
- Click on Create an application. In the window that appears, select the platform Embedded application.
- The settings window will become larger. Here enter the application name, description, select type and category. Then click Go to download the application.
- The system will ask you to confirm the action via phone and accept the user agreement.
- After logging in, fill in the application information. Select the group in which the application will be installed, as well as the icon for it. Save your changes.
- Download the cover. The size of the picture must clearly coincide with the stated ones: 150x150 for a square cover and 278x278 for a square catalog cover.
- In the settings, select the Application disabled state, and in the “Application type” line, select flash. Click Save Changes.
- Click on the Download application button. Then specify the file movie.swf., which is stored on your computer. Click the Open button.
Now all that remains is to test the application and publish it publicly. Then it’s a matter of little things: make a post in the group, launch targeted advertising if you want as many users as possible to know about your offer.

Sending a VK presentation
Forwarding a presentation of any size is only possible by attaching it to a message as a document. In both options, the attachment can be made to a personal message or to some posts on the wall and comments.
Option 1: Website
When using the full version of VKontakte, accessible from any Internet browser on your computer, the procedure for sending a presentation is reduced to several steps. However, if you want to add this kind of file to a post on a page, you will have to perform several additional steps.
Note: We will only consider sending via private messages.
- Open the “Messages” section using the main menu of the site and select the desired dialogue.
In the lower left corner of the page, next to the block for creating a new message, hover your mouse over the icon with the image of a paper clip.
From the list that opens, select “Document”.
Next, click the “Upload new file” button and select it on your computer.
You can also simply drag the presentation you are sending to the “Attach Document” area or to the block for creating a new message without using an additional menu.
Regardless of the chosen approach, after the steps taken, the file will begin downloading.
Upon completion, a thumbnail of the added file will appear in the area with attachments under the “Write a message” block. Similar to any other documents, you can upload up to nine files at a time.
Use the "Submit" button to post a message with the option to download the attached presentation. Click on the link with the name of the document to go to the download page.
Depending on the browser used and some other aspects, you will be able to view the content through the PowerPoint Online program.
This concludes this section of the article, since the main task can be considered completed.
Option 2: Mobile application
For users of the official VKontakte mobile application, the process of sending presentations has minimal differences from the first method, with reservations regarding the location and name of the related sections. Any restrictions on sending, including the number of attachments and message type, are also completely identical to the previously described option.
- Go to the Messages section using the app's navigation bar and open the desired conversation.
Next to the “Your message” field, click on the paperclip icon.
Now in the menu that opens, switch to the “Document” tab.
According to your requirements, specify the way to add the presentation. For example, in our case we will boot from the device memory.
Using the file manager, find and select the document you need.
Once the download is complete, click on the “Submit” button.
The posted file will immediately appear in the message history with the ability to download it.
If you have special applications for opening presentation files, the document can be viewed. In this situation, it will be downloaded automatically. The optimal solution is "PowerPoint".
The only drawback is the inability to view the presentation using standard means of the VKontakte mobile application without installing additional software. Because of this, in most cases you can limit yourself to sending a link to a file created using Google services.

Instructions
The WinRAR archiver can do this. With this program you can archive multiple files or a folder
with a large amount of material, for example 200 songs, into one large file. You can download and install the WinRAR program from the official Russian website of the program: https://www.win-rar.ru/download/winrar/ Since the WinRAR program is shareware, most of its functions will work even after the trial period ends. After installing the program, restart your computer.
Select folder
, which you want to transfer or download to the file, and right-click on it. In the context menu, select “Add to archive...”.
On the main tab (General), enter the desired archive name, and also define the desired archive settings. After that, click the OK button at the bottom of the window. Another small window will appear in front of you displaying the archive creation process. Once the compilation bar reaches 100%, the archive will be created in the same directory where the original files
.
Now the resulting file needs to be transferred to another user. Since folders with a large number of files are usually large and take up more than 20 MB, they are difficult or even impossible to transfer through the messenger. In this case, use one of two methods: transferring files via and file-sharing networks. When transferring an archive via e-mail, log into your email account and select “Add file” or “Attach”. A window will appear on a new page for selecting a file and, when you click on the “Add” button, a Windows Explorer will appear in which you need to find the selected file. Once the archive is downloaded, you can send an email. The file will be included in the email attachments.
Use file-sharing networks if the file takes up more than 100 MB of disk space or needs to be sent. Having uploaded the archive once to a file exchanger, you can download it using a unique link an unlimited number of times. At the same time, any users can download (if you wish, you can set a password to open the archive). Use free file-sharing networks: https://narod.yandex.ru/https://letitbit.net/https://ifolder.ru/https://depositfiles.ru/After downloading the file from your computer, you will receive a unique link to file, which will be the address for downloading it.
To open the archive and unpack the files on the computer of the person to whom the archive folder will be transferred, the user will also need WinRAR or 7Zip installed on his PC.
You will need
- Archiver program.
Instructions
Before sending a folder with files, it is best to place it in a . To do this, you need to use one of the many archiver programs. For archiving we will use one of the most popular programs - WinRAR. So, you have the archiver installed. The necessary files are placed in the folder
you want to send. Right-click on the folder, select the WinRAR program icon and the “add to archive” function from the drop-down menu.
A program window will appear where you will need to enter the name of the archive that you will send. Click "OK". The archiving process will begin and the files will be archived.
In the window that appears, select the archive with the files you want to send. Click the "Open" button.

Helpful advice
It is better to send files up to 5 MB this way. If the files are larger than 5MB, they will be automatically split by the program into several files. This may not happen correctly. Therefore, it is better to save the files yourself in advance into 5 MB archives and then separately attach them to the letter. Well, if the folder with files is very large (700 - 1000 MB), then it is better to use special file-sharing services for sending.
Transferring files via the Internet to friends or work colleagues often becomes a problematic task: you need to transfer several documents, a dozen photos, and sometimes also songs or videos. Uploading each file to file-sharing services separately is a rather time-consuming task. Archiving will help solve the problem.
Instructions
Archiving is the creation of an archive file using special software - an archiver. The archive is a file- folder
, which contains “packed” files. Unlike a folder, it is a file and can even be an executing program (COM, EXE). Therefore, an archive, unlike a folder, can be transferred. It doesn’t matter how many files it contains.
The most common archive formats are RAR, ZIP, 7Z. For users, they are practically no different. The popular WinRAR archiver can create such an archive and extract files from it. WinRAR is a shareware program, therefore, all its functionality can be used without purchasing the full version.
A WinRAR window will appear with settings for the archive name and parameters. Configure the archive as you wish or leave everything as default, then click the “OK” button. After a few seconds or minutes, depending on the size of the folder and the number of files, an archive in RAR or ZIP will be created in the source directory, with the same name as the folder you archived. It is a single file that you can upload to a file hosting service, hosting service, or attach it to an email message.
