I am trying to play a Google Docs slideshow.  When I try to open the slideshow link on  a website I receive this message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file."  Appreciate your help.

Normally Google Doc slideshows use different file format/codec. You have to use a right software to play. In this case you can use Chrome to play on Windows machines.

 

Please use the following Guide
