PowerPoint Live aims to support both audience members and presenters in creating a richer experience for sharing content.
With PowerPoint Live, you don’t need to open a PowerPoint deck and share your screen. Instead, you can just open PowerPoint Live from within Teams or PowerPoint to deliver your presentation.
To use PowerPoint Live in a Teams meeting you have two options:
- If you’re already in a Teams meeting, click ‘Share’ and then select a file under the PowerPoint Live section. If you don’t see the file in the list, you can Browse OneDrive or Browse my computer.
- From within the PowerPoint application, you can click the ‘Present in Teams’ option in the upper right corner.
Benefits of PowerPoint Live
- The presenter can see their slide notes and upcoming slides while the audience will only see the current slide.
- Presenters can turn the chat on or off, view audience reactions, and see raised hands in real-time.
- The presenter has easy access to meeting tools such as the laser pointer, pen, highlighter, and eraser to annotate slides.
- If there are co-presenters, they can take control to get instant access to the presenter's view – no more “next slide please”.
- Attendees can interact with content such as hyperlinks and videos.
- Attendees can access the shared content through screen readers and a high-contrast mode is available for each attendee to select privately on their device.
