Microsoft Office automation for Office 365

I have a few lines of C# code where I control a PowerPoint slideshow, using the Office automation API.

These are the relevant parts of my Software:

First I obtain the Presentation for a given File name. The objPresSet comes from PowePoint.Application(): objPres = objPresSet.Open(pptFileNm, MsoTriState.msoFalse, MsoTriState.msoTrue, MsoTriState.msoTrue);

Then I iterate over all the slides in objPres.Slides and I - count the animated Objects in the slide (number of Events in the slides TimeLine.MainSequence where TriggerType is a MsoAnimTriggerType.msoAnimTriggerOnPageClick - and I read the Slide Title and Slide Notes using s.Shapes[1].TextFrame.TextRange.Text and s.NotesPage.Shapes[2].TextFrame.TextRange.Text

The data is sent to a remote device and I use the ZXing QR DLL in order to create a QR Code for pairing. Based on the collected data, the remote device is sending commands like goto or next. My C# Program is receiving this data over a persistent HTTP Connection. And based on the commands my Program is executing stuff like objSSW.View.Next() The objSSW comes from objApp.SlideShowWindows;

Is it possible to do that with Office 365 and if yes, what is the name of the tool and product stack (or API) for such a task? Sorry if that is a "stupid" question, but the Microsoft products are not realy my field of expertise.

Can you share the few lines of C# code you are already using? Do you mean you want to control a slideshow in PowerPoint Online (i.e. PowerPoint via a web browser)? – Philippe Signoret
Well, to be honest, the few lines of c# are a full blown c# Project. – user1704369

If you are writing an office store add-in, you can control slide progression via the Office JS library.
