i have an executable file,which is a slideshow,which i want to put on youtube...does anyone know if this is possible,and if so,how?

Use a screen capture program to create a video from the exe (basically in old parlance "record" it) and upload that.

My answer would be "good lord I hope not!"

If executable files were able to be uploaded, you can bet the platform would be riddled with malware.

The video capture method above is the right way to go.

Are you using Windows 10? There's a built in app called Game Bar that lets you record video of anything going on on your screen:

There's other software you can download to do it too (free and paid), but I haven't used those.
