FEATURES
Export a presentation to MP4 or WMV so it can be viewed without PowerPoint. The video file is easy to share with educational or work materials.
Record narration and slide timings, then include them in a video presentation. Viewers can follow your explanations at the pace you prepared.
Create a shared layout in desktop PowerPoint with the fonts, background, and content placeholders you need. A saved template helps keep future presentations consistent.
Configure how text or shapes appear, move and disappear, and set effect order and duration. This helps reveal a complex diagram in stages during an explanation.
Create tables directly in a presentation and fill them with data. This format helps compare options, show a work plan or present several metrics compactly.
Keep notes for each slide separate from the main content. In desktop Presenter View, the speaker sees the notes while the audience sees the presentation itself.
Save the presentation as a PDF with a fixed layout. The recipient can view the materials without PowerPoint, and you can share a final version for reading.
Add hyperlinks to useful resources and relevant slides. This helps create a presentation with links to details, sources and additional explanations.

On Windows, confirm compatibility with existing Office apps and add-ins. Windows installation media cannot be installed on macOS or mobile devices.
