Please attach a minimal version of the working odp file. That makes it easier to reproduce the problem.

Interaction "Go to document"

The image on the second slide has an interaction "Go to document" with an URL of a YouTube video as target.

Open attached presentation, run the presentation. On second slide click on the image. Your browser should open and you can start the video. Exit presentation.

Now save the file in ppt format.

Open the ppt file in PowerPoint and run presentation. On second slide click on the image to call the YouTube video. Your browser opens and you can start the video.

Open the ppt file in LibreOffice and run presentation.  On second slide click on the image to call the YouTube video. Nothing happens.

The problem seems to be, that on reload of the ppt file the interaction type is "Run program", whereas it originally has been "Go to document".
