How to Share Your PowerPoint Presentation Online (For Free)

• Bahasa Indonesia

When you think of PowerPoint presentations, you may think of them as being presented using a projector or large screen display. But when you can't connect in person to give your presentation, posting your PowerPoint online may be the next best alternative.

Maybe your audience doesn't have PowerPoint installed on their device. In that case, it makes sense to use Microsoft PowerPoint Online to share and collaborate. Or, you might have a major message you want to share online with anyone who clicks the link using SlideShare.

In this tutorial, discover a few ways to upload and share a PowerPoint presentation using best practices.

How to Quickly Share PowerPoint Presentations Online (Watch & Learn)

In this quick two-minute screencast video, I'll walk you through using PowerPoint Online and SlideShare to upload your presentation for sharing. I'll show you tips and tricks for each platform to get the most from them.

Both of these services are free when you make an account. You don't need anything other than a PowerPoint file and an account to quickly share your presentation online.

Now, let's dive into some written tips on using these services. I'll show you best practices on getting your PowerPoint online for an audience to see.

Microsoft PowerPoint Online

Do you have a PowerPoint and are you wondering " how to share my PowerPoint online? "

My preferred way to share PowerPoint presentations is to use  PowerPoint Online,  Microsoft's browser-based version of PowerPoint. If you've used Google Drive and their collaborative apps that live inside your web browser, you can think of this as Microsoft's alternative. Best of all, it's free!

To use PowerPoint Online, you'll need a Microsoft account, which is free to create. Jump over to this link to log in or create a Microsoft account and get started with PowerPoint Online.

1. Upload Your PowerPoint Presentation

Now, you'll need to upload your PowerPoint presentation to make it available online.

There are two ways you can do this:

• Save it to your OneDrive account that's associated with your email address. OneDrive Microsoft's cloud storage app will automatically be available in PowerPoint Online when you log in.
• Log into PowerPoint Online , and click on  Upload a Presentation  to upload your file from your computer.

2. Invite Viewers to Your Online Presentation

Once your presentation is online, you're ready to invite others to view it. Using PowerPoint Online, click on  Share in the right corner above the presentation.

Now, you can add email addresses for anyone to invite to the presentation. Add some email addresses in the To field, along with a message below it to add collaborators.

There are some other key options that you'll want to set each time you add viewers to a presentation:

• On the dropdown options, you can choose between Anyone with the link and Specific people  to control who has access to the presentation.
• You can also choose between the permissions Can edit and Can view . If you select the Can edit option, your invitee can make changes to the presentation.
• You can set an expiration date for the share. Or, set a password so that the invitee has to log in to view the presentation.
• You can also copy the link to share it online or through email. (See the steps below.)

3. Optional: Make an Online PowerPoint Presentation Link

Another option is to make the presentation public so that anyone with the URL to your presentation can view it. If you're distributing your PowerPoint presentation to a team online, it's easier to create a link instead of inviting each user's email address.

Here's how to create a link for a PowerPoint:

Click on Copy link on the same sharing window I showed you above. PowerPoint Online creates a URL that you can send to others to collaborate on the presentation with you.

To invite others to make edits using the URL, click on the Anyone with the link can view  option. Choose Allow editing from the Other settings section.

Post Your Presentations Online With SlideShare 

Besides PowerPoint online, SlideShare is one of the best-known services for posting a PowerPoint online. When Netflix uploaded a slide deck on their culture in 2009, they likely had no idea that it would be viewed 17 million times in the following years. 

Just as YouTube is a discovery platform for video, SlideShare is a network where users can discover your slide deck.

SlideShare is now owned by Scribd. You can upload a PowerPoint to SlideShare simply by hopping over to their website and log in (or create) your Scribd account. Or you can still log in through LinkedIn.

SlideShare supports a variety of formats, but it's tailor-made to drop your PowerPoint (PPTX) files into. You can drag and drop a file onto the window or click on a cloud service to quickly add your presentation online.

After you begin uploading your presentation, SlideShare has you add some basic metadata. Add a Title , Category , and Tags to help users discover your content.

Maybe the most important setting on this screen is to choose the  Privacy  settings for your presentation. A  Public  presentation appears to anyone who comes across it via search or social, just like the Netflix culture slide deck. You could also choose Limited  to make it visible, but not in SlideShare search.

Once you've set the privacy, press  Publish . Your presentation will go online, ready to share!

SlideShare is a great choice for when you want to publicize your PowerPoint. But the privacy settings are essential when you're sharing your presentation online.

Send and Share Your PowerPoint Presentations

If your presentation contains sensitive information or you just don't want to publish it online, I still have tips for how to share your presentation effectively.

If you're going to use email or a service like Dropbox to upload your PowerPoint presentation, you might want to reduce the file size  of your presentation before you send it. Let's look at two key tips to reduce the file size so that you don't waste someone's inbox space.

1. Compress Images

Images are usually the single largest part of a PowerPoint presentation. Everything else in a presentation is some combination of text and shapes, which don't consume much storage space at all.

Compressing images is the best way I've found to save space. Select a picture and click Picture Format . Choose  Compress Pictures.

On the  Compress Pictures  menu, choose a lower resolution setting from the list of options. I recommend choosing a lower resolution like 150 or 96 PPI. This reduces the space occupied by your images and creates a smaller PowerPoint file.

2. Save a Lower Resolution Copy

Beyond the images in your presentation, you can also save the entire presentation at a lower resolution.

On the  File > Save As  menu, this time choose the  Tools > Save Options  menu.

For high-resolution presentations that use premium PowerPoint themes, this step is a must to reduce the file size before you send it to your audience. Find top PowerPoint presentation themes on Envato Elements:  

Both of these tricks save some serious storage space when you share your presentation. Even if you're considering uploading it to PowerPoint Online, this is an ideal step to maintain PowerPoint performance.

How to Share a PowerPoint Presentation Online: 9 Free PPT Sharing Options

Last Updated: 02/12/2024

• Share on Pinterest

Did you know that recent data shows a whopping 35 million PowerPoint presentations are given every day across the world? As an instructional designer who often crafts courses and presentations using PowerPoint, it’s one of my favorite tools out there, but I’ve noticed a lot of users run into problems when it comes to sharing their PowerPoint content online.

The good news is PPT sharing is actually super easy, and it doesn’t have to cost a thing thanks to all the different free options available. From using a screen recording platform to taking advantage of file sharing services and everything in between, there’s no shortage of options for getting your PowerPoint presentation in the hands of your audience.

Whether you’re aiming to reach a global student audience, collaborating with fellow educators, or simply looking to make your content more accessible, this guide will walk you through the nuances of sharing a PowerPoint presentation online. Each and every option has its pros and cons, use cases, and distinctive features that I’ll explain in depth so you can choose the right method for your specific needs.

The Best Free Ways to Share PowerPoints Online

1. use screen recording software to add voiceovers and create a shareable link.

VEED is the fastest and easiest way to make high quality, professional videos for eLearning, business training, sales presentations, and other applications.

With a screen recording software like VEED , recording and sharing PowerPoint presentations online is super easy.

Just c reate an account , choose your recording method (you can add a camera pop-in to your presentation, add voiceovers, or just record only the slide presentation), and start recording to add audio to your PowerPoint presentation in the window. I’ve found that it’s a great way to create how to videos ! You can screen record on Windows or Mac with VEED .

Once you’re done, stop recording and do any editing you might wish to do before finalizing your presentation.

Now all you have to do to active PPT sharing is to simply copy the link VEED creates for your video and share it with whoever you wish .

In a nutshell

• Screen recording your PowerPoint presentation with VEED lets you add things like camera bubble pop-ins for presenters or voiceovers
• Get a shareable link you can send to whoever you want
• Track views, watch time, clicks, and other analytics easily
• Free & paid versions available
• Could be a little time-consuming to get your video just the way you want it

 Click here to try VEED free.

2. Just email it!

This is a simple, easy to use method for PPT sharing.

Aside from just picking the target address, making an email attachment, and clicking the Send button, you may want to automate and customize emailing to your needs. For instance, think of an ad hoc email account that would distribute your presentation to all incoming contacts.

You can easily configure this using Gmail or other email services. Alternatively, set up a filter : if an incoming message subject contains “Presentation”, the file or URL will be sent over to your recipient.

While email can be convenient for sharing PowerPoint files, it might not even be possible in some cases if your file is too big. This is because most email services have strict file size limits, which means your PowerPoint presentation might be prevented from being sent if it’s too large.

So, if your entire presentation is an especially big one, this option might not be ideal for you.

• A fast and easy method to share PowerPoints online, works right from your email client or web service
• Reduces manual operations with some mild tweaking and tuning
• Proves tricky with big files (since PPT is scarcely the epitome of a lightweight format)
• May not be your first choice if you have security concerns. In case your deck includes confidential information or trade secrets, you may want to think of a safer option.

If you wish to avoid actual files being transmitted, read on for more ways to copy a link to the material.

3. File sharing services

If your deck is really big and feature-packed with all the bells and whistles that PowerPoint offers, why not use DropBox or Google Drive for easy PPT sharing?

• A nice way to send your content to a few people you know
• The problem is: your recipient needs to have PowerPoint installed. Otherwise, the content just won’t open.
• If PowerPoint does exist on the other end, the intended person may have an older version in place. In this case, advanced features and frills may get lost along the way.
• The security risk still stands. What if you make a mistake and the file ends up in the wrong hands? Worst case scenario, your work could be compromised and distributed all over the web in no time.

Ultimately, this option works fine if you intend to share with a limited group of people and your presentation is appropriate for the public domain. To reach a larger number of viewers at a higher security level, check out one of the following options.

4. Slide hosting services

Looking for a tailored PowerPoint sharing solution that keeps deck authors in mind?

Pay heed to web-based solutions like SlideShare , SlideBoom , Speaker Deck , etc. These services help you upload, host, and share slides on the Internet.

• Remote presentation made easy. It’s all in your browser, no need to deploy a dedicated server or any other IT infrastructure
• Most hosting providers offer administrative tools so you can keep track of your presentations and process user feedback
• Your work is safe, since nobody can copy and steal the content
• Most sharing services are mobile-friendly so viewers can access the material on a smartphone or tablet.

The only possible drawback we can think of here is quality. Your hosted slides may not be the spitting image of the original PPT file after all. Make sure you learn about functional limitations in advance.

5. Embed code

Share a file, send over a link… Now there is yet another option. Use a code generated in a third-party service and paste it on your website.

If you are looking for a more scalable intermediary format than PPT, try HTML5 or Flash.

There are a bunch of free and paid converters out there. Pick one with decent output quality, convert the slide deck, upload it onto a hosting service, get your embeddable code and that’s it.

• Easy way to broadcast the content on your website
• If you decide to convert to HTML5, your slides get better visibility across all browsers and gadgets.

Make sure your original effects are not left behind. Flawless conversion is rare, so see to it that your content is rendered in high quality.

6. Make it a video and share on YouTube

Convert your PowerPoint presentation to video and upload it to YouTube. You can’t go wrong. Top exposure guaranteed.

PowerPoint has offered this feature since version 2010. Learn how you can seamlessly export your presentation as video – all effects intact – right from PowerPoint.

Don’t worry, there is a workaround for older versions as well. Use a third-party solution like Movavi or Wondershare PowerPoint add-ins , click Publish, and voila.

As always, pay attention to video quality and resolution settings before you publish.

• These days, the YouTube app comes pre-installed on every web-enabled device. A great way to showcase your expertise to millions of viewers.
• A video presentation just runs its course with no hiccups on the next slide or pop-up effect.
• Instant feedback and progress tracking: count views, comments, shares and likes
• Viral effect: once on YouTube your video proliferates across all social media.

Video is particularly good for tutorials and guidelines. If your presentation comes in a similar vein, have no doubts: most likely it’s your best choice.

7. Show it in your LMS

What can be better than a full-fledged training course with score tracking, feedback, and enhanced statistics?

The good news is you can easily share your PowerPoint presentation online that way.

What you need is a learning management system (LMS) – a service for delivery and management of education courses and online classes. Needless to say, an LMS’s functionality goes far beyond a slide show.

In most cases, you need to register an account in an LMS. Registration ensures your content remains personalized and safe.

Learning management systems are making inroads into the business segment as well, since HR departments are using their potential for employee onboarding and training.

• Secure way to keep your data under a personal account
• Most LMSs offer feedback and collaboration features
• User activity monitoring (test completion and results).

Please bear in mind that a PowerPoint presentation doesn’t work in an LMS as-is. You need to convert your slides into a special format like SCORM or TinCan (free converters are readily available). Some LMS vendors tend to tailor their offering to a specific audience. Make sure the solution fits your needs, upload a converted deck and enjoy the benefits.

8. Save as a PDF

This one is pretty self-explanatory and is great for sharing with non-PowerPoint users. Feel free to use it as a workaround when PowerPoint is unavailable on your recipient’s end.

There is hardly any computer or mobile device out there that doesn’t open PDF format files.

Adobe PDF viewers are free of charge, so there are absolutely no costs incurred.

Save your PowerPoint presentation slides as a PDF and send the file or a link from a hosting service.

• Fast, easy, fairly lightweight if you set the right settings
• A universally accepted file format

As far as conversion is concerned, you should probably expect quality issues. An output PDF file may not include originally conceived animations and other posh effects. The mantra here is be realistic and think what you can sacrifice for the sake of better compatibility.

9. Broadcast your PowerPoint presentation file

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 includes the Broadcast Slide Show feature that helps presenters to share a slide show with a global audience online. You could also broadcast your PowerPoint presentation on a virtual conference platform like WebinarJam or Zoom .

Just send a link and invite your contacts, so they can watch your PowerPoint presentation in real-time in their browsers.

• Send the URL to attendees by e-mail
• You can pause and resume the slide show during the broadcast
• Some features, such as custom transitions, audio, and video are not supported.

The Broadcast Slide Show requires a network service to host the presentation. A built-in PowerPoint Broadcast Service is available in versions from 2013 onwards. Your viewers need to have a Windows Live ID to join the session.

What is the best way to send a PowerPoint presentation?

There are many different ways to share a PowerPoint presentation, including using a screen recorder tool like VEED to create a shareable link, sending an email attachment, using a service like Dropbox or Google Drive, and more. The best method really depends on your specific needs.

Can you share a PowerPoint for editing?

You can now edit and collaborate on PowerPoint presentations with others by saving your presentation in OneDrive or SharePoint. All authors must be working in PowerPoint 2010 or later (Windows), PowerPoint 2016 (Mac), or PowerPoint on the web.

How do you send a PowerPoint through Gmail or other email services?

The easiest way to share a PowerPoint via Gmail or any other email provider is to send it as an attachment. However, if the file size is too large, your email provider might not allow you to send it this way.

Why can’t I send my PowerPoint through email?

The most common reason why you can’t send a PowerPoint through email is because the file size is too large. For many email services, like Gmail, the max file size you can send is around 25 Mb.

How do I turn a PowerPoint into a link?

There are many different ways you can do this, but the easiest option is to save it to the cloud and send it to others as a view-only copy.

How can I send a large PowerPoint file?

There are a few ways that you can send a PowerPoint file that’s large and requires a lot of storage space. You can use a cloud-based storage service, such as Google Drive or Dropbox. You can turn the PowerPoint into a shareable link and simply email the link, so that you don’t have to send the whole file as an attachment. If you’re using a cloud-based storage service, you’ll need to know the recipient’s email address.

How can I make a PowerPoint file smaller?

If you want to make a PowerPoint file smaller for easier sharing, you can compress the file using a compression tool such as WinZip or 7-Zip. You can also save the PowerPoint as a PDF document.

Final Thoughts on Sharing PowerPoint Presentations Online

No matter what option you pick to share PowerPoints online, it’s key to establish the first contact with your target audience.

Want to have an easy-to-share link to a high-quality slide show video presentation with voice overs and other features? Use a screen recording software like VEED .

Need to share a deck with a large number of viewers and automate distribution? Upload the content on a slide hosting service, get a link and create a special mailbox that will send out this URL to anyone interested.

Feel like limiting access to the presentation to a small group of viewers? Share your PowerPoint slides on Google Drive, DropBox, or a similar service and grant access rights to selected email addresses.

What’s your favorite way to share PowerPoints online? How do you deal with scalability and quality issues? As always, I appreciate your feedback. Any thoughts and comments are welcome.

Navigating the Landscape of Online Presentation Platforms

When it comes to sharing PowerPoint presentations online, we have a wealth of options at our disposal. The key is to understand the capabilities of various cloud-based services and learn about popular platforms that make slide sharing a breeze.

Understanding Cloud-Based Services

Cloud-based services like OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox offer seamless methods for storing and sharing our presentations. Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive integrate directly with PowerPoint and Google Slides, respectively, allowing us to save and share our files with a few clicks.

Dropbox, known for its robust storage capabilities, also simplifies the sharing process. By uploading the presentation and generating a shareable link, we can easily distribute our content. These services ensure our files are accessible from any device with an internet connection.

The use of cloud services also provides an extra layer of security and backup. If our local storage fails, our presentations are still safe online. This capability is invaluable for anyone who frequently collaborates remotely.

Popular Platforms for Sharing Slides

Various platforms cater to our needs for sharing PowerPoint presentations online. Microsoft PowerPoint Online and Office 365 are part of the Office suite and offer seamless sharing options. Once uploaded, presentations can be shared via links, and permissions can be set to control viewer access.

Google Slides, accessible through Google Drive, allows for real-time collaboration and sharing. SlideShare enables us to share presentations publicly, making them accessible to a broader audience. Its professional network integration can enhance the visibility of our work.

Understanding these platforms empowers us to select the one that best fits our needs, ensuring our presentations reach the intended audience efficiently.

The Mechanics of Online Collaboration

Sharing PowerPoint presentations online lets us work together in real time. It simplifies collaboration with features such as inviting collaborators, managing permissions, and real-time editing.

Inviting Collaborators and Managing Permissions

To start, we select the Share button on the ribbon. We can then enter the names or email addresses of our collaborators. This step is critical as we can choose who joins our project.

Two main permission levels exist: Can Edit allows collaborators to make changes, while View Only restricts them to viewing. We can customize these settings before sending the invites. PowerPoint for the web and Microsoft 365 also lets us adjust permissions later, enhancing flexibility.

Real-Time Editing and Version Control

Once permissions are set, we can dive into real-time editing. Each change is instantly visible. This constant updating helps avoid the back-and-forth of emailed files. PowerPoint’s collaborative tools let us see who is editing which part of the presentation, making teamwork seamless.

With version control, we can track all modifications. PowerPoint logs these changes, allowing us to revert to earlier versions if needed. This aspect mitigates the risk of losing essential content due to accidental deletions.

Real-time comments provide another layer of interactivity. We can leave feedback directly on the slides, making communication swift and effective.

Enhancing Presentations with Multimedia

Enhancing your PowerPoint presentations with multimedia elements can significantly improve audience engagement and retention. In this section, we’ll look at integrating videos and audio to create a more dynamic and impactful presentation.

Integrating Video and Audio

Adding video and audio to your presentation can bring your content to life. One effective way to do this is by embedding YouTube videos . By using the embed code provided by YouTube, we can integrate high-quality videos directly into our slides.

We can also integrate audio clips to add depth to our presentations. For instance, including background music or sound effects can set the mood or emphasize key points. Adding narration helps to guide our audience and provides additional context for each slide.

Animations and transitions, though often overdone, if used sparingly, can be very effective. Custom animations can be used to emphasize key parts of our data or to smoothly reveal information. This keeps our audience engaged without overwhelming them.

By using premium templates , we can also ensure that our presentations look professional and sleek. These templates often come with built-in areas for multimedia content, making it easier for us to add audio and video.

In summary, incorporating multimedia not only enlivens our slides, but also keeps our audience attentive. By embedding videos, adding audio, and using thoughtful animations, we can create presentations that are both informative and captivating.

Sharing and Distribution Tactics

Sharing a PowerPoint presentation online can be efficient and effective when leveraging social media, blogging platforms, and direct sharing methods like email and links. Each method has its pros and cons, and understanding these can help you choose the best tactic for your needs.

Effective Use of Social Media and Blogging

Social media and blogging platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and WordPress offer powerful means to share your PowerPoint presentations. They allow for broad reach and can engage an audience beyond your immediate network.

• Reach a large audience quickly.
• Engage with people through likes, comments, and shares.

To share via social media, first upload your slides to a sharing service like SlideShare or Google Drive. Copy the link and use it in your social media post. Add some engaging text to entice viewers.

Blogs offer a more in-depth opportunity. You can embed your presentation directly in the post. This keeps visitors on your page longer, boosting engagement and SEO. Adding a brief summary or highlights of your presentation in the blog post can pique interest and encourage viewers to click through.

Email and Other Direct Sharing Methods

Email remains one of the most direct and personal ways to share PowerPoint presentations. Emailing a presentation as an attachment is simple, but can be limited by file size restrictions.

For heavier files, upload your presentation to cloud storage like OneDrive or Google Drive. Share the link via email with options to view or edit. This method ensures recipients always have access to the most recent version.

Messaging apps like Slack or text messages are also effective for quick sharing. This can be particularly useful for last-minute updates or on-the-go collaboration.

By choosing the right combination of these tactics, we can ensure our PowerPoint presentations are shared efficiently and reach the intended audience effectively.

How to share your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on a Mac, PC, or web browser

• It's easy to share a PowerPoint presentation on your Mac or PC app.
• You can also share a presentation if you use the online version of PowerPoint.
• Sharing a presentation can help you collaborate with friends or coworkers.
• Visit Business Insider's Tech Reference library for more stories .

When creating Microsoft PowerPoint presentations for work or school, it's often necessary to collaborate with others on your projects.

Thankfully, it's easy to share a PowerPoint presentation no matter what version you use. The process looks fairly similar on both Mac and PC programs, as well as on the online version that can be accessed from any web browser. The online option is helpful if you don't have the Microsoft Office program downloaded to your desktop.

For all of these options, you can add a collaborator (which operates similarly to sharing Google Slides ) or opt to send your file as a presentation or PDF via email. There are also alternative methods, such as sending via social media.

Here's how to share a presentation.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Apple macbook pro (from $1,299.00 at apple), acer chromebook 15 (from $179.99 at walmart), microsoft office (from $149.99 at best buy), samsung chromebook (from $269.00 at amazon), how to share a powerpoint presentation on a pc.

Sharing a presentation on the PC version of PowerPoint should look similar on most computer types. The following steps and accompanying photos detail the process on a Samsung Chromebook.

1. Open the PowerPoint presentation you wish to share on your PC.

2. Click the "Share" symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This should give you the option to share either the full document or just the current slide.

• If you prefer to add a collaborator instead (similar to Google Slides functions), you will need to click the orange button to save a copy of the file to your OneDrive. 

3. Choose how you'd like to share the document or slide as an attachment. You can choose to send an email via Outlook or as a message via Zoom, for example.

Additionally, when you first launch the program, you can also find a "Share" tab on the left hand side. This will provide you with the same options for sharing a file.

How to share a PowerPoint Presentation on a Mac

1. Open the PowerPoint presentation on your Mac desktop or laptop.

2. Click the "File" tab in the top left corner. 

3. Select "Share" from the dropdown menu. This will grant you the option to either send or copy a link to share, send the file as a presentation or PDF, or manage access to a shared file. Select whichever option you'd like and follow the directions to add contact information.

• If you wish to manage access and add collaborators, you will have to make sure the file has been uploaded to your OneDrive before proceeding. (If it hasn't, PowerPoint should prompt you to do so at this time.)

4. Sending the file as an email is the most common choice. Selecting this option will automatically open a new draft with the file attached. (Be sure to select "Send PDF" if you'd prefer it to send as a PDF file instead of as a presentation.) Add an address, subject, and body text before sending.

You can also share a presentation by clicking the "Share" button in the upper right hand corner. (This is similar to how it appears on a PC.)

This option is extremely helpful as it provides all of your possible options in a single pop-up. Enter a name or email address (along with an optional message) to send the document. 

You can change the permissions settings at the top before clicking "Send," "Copy Link," or "Mail" to share your work. Click "More Apps" to browse additional options, such as sending via social media or text message. Lastly, you can select "Send a Copy" to send as a traditional attachment.

How to share a PowerPoint presentation on a web browser

You can access PowerPoint online on either a Mac or PC, as long as you have your login information for Microsoft Office. Regardless of what browser you prefer to use, the steps to share a presentation are exactly the same.

1. Log in to your Microsoft Office account on your preferred web browser and open the presentation you wish to share.

2. Click the "Share" button in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

3. This will open a pop-up in the center of the page. Enter a name or email address (along with an optional message) to send the document. You can change the permissions settings at the top before sending the link by clicking the "Send" or "Copy Link" option. (Those who have followed these steps on a Mac will recognize that it looks similar.)

Additionally, when you open the main menu, you can click the "Share" tab on the left hand side. This will allow you to invite others to edit the presentation or embed the presentation for a blog or website. 

If you are looking to embed online, this will open a different pop-up that will generate a code for you. Select the dimensions desired and then paste the text as needed. Click the "Close" or "X" buttons to minimize the window.

If You’ve Never Used the iPhone Shortcuts App, Here’s the Best Way to Get Started

I'm not a programmer, but here’s why linux is my daily driver, vivaldi’s email client is now better than ever, quick links, sharing your powerpoint presentation.

Aside from the traditional method of sending a PowerPoint presentation to others as an email attachment, you can also upload and share your presentation from the cloud. All you need to get started is a OneDrive account. Here’s how.

You can save a PowerPoint presentation to the cloud fairly easily. In fact, it takes only a few simple clicks. For this to work, though, you’ll need a OneDrive account. If you use Office 365, then you already have one. If not, all you need to do is create a Microsoft account  and then sign in to OneDrive. This article will assume you already have a OneDrive account.

Related: How to Share Things from OneDrive

First, open the PowerPoint presentation that you’d like to share. At the top-right corner of the window, you’ll see a “Share” button. Go ahead and select it.

Once selected, the “Share” window will appear. You have a few different options here. In the “Attach a copy instead” group, you can choose to send your presentation as a PowerPoint or PDF attachment. Selecting either of these options will open your computer’s default mail client.

What we’re interested in, though, is sharing to OneDrive. To do this, select your OneDrive account under “Share.”

If you haven’t already named your presentation, you’ll be prompted to do so. After you give it a name, click  “OK.”

Your presentation will now be uploaded to the cloud and the “Share” pane will appear on the right-hand side. This is where you can invite people to edit (or read) the document. In the address bar, enter the email of the recipient. Alternatively, select the icon to the right of the address bar and select a recipient from your Outlook address book.

After you’ve entered the recipient’s email, you can then assign a permission level. Once you’ve given read/write or read-only permission, you can then add an optional message. When you’re ready, click “Share.”

The recipient will receive an email providing access to the presentation.

Note: If you’re the recipient, be sure to check your spam folder! During our testing, we found the invitation in spam.

An alternative method for inviting people is to get a sharing link. At the bottom of the “Share” pane, select “Get a sharing link.”

Next, choose which type of link you’d like to provide. You can choose between a read/write link or read-only link.

A link will then be generated. Select “Copy” to copy the link to your clipboard.

Anyone you share this link with will then have access to the presentation. This will allow multiple people to collaborate on your presentation in real-time !

How to Share a PowerPoint Presentation Online

content creator

Paulina Fox See full bio →

Professional presenters, salespeople, developers, designers, teachers, event spokespersons – we all have the problem of sharing PPT slides with a wider audience. Live presentations are cool, but they impose evident limitations. Those 10 – 100 listeners in the room will definitely enjoy the good vibes and a proper joke that come in a package with a nice presentation. Yet there are thousands of people out there who didn’t attend your class or event, but could make good use of your findings.

So the question is: what’s the best way to share your presentation online so more people could see it? Out of a dozen or more ways to solve the issue, let’s get down to the five that seem to make the most sense.

1. Use Presentation Hosting

There’s a bunch of web-based slide hosting services out there that can help you upload and share a presentation without quality losses or security implications, for example, SlideShare, MyPlick, and Slideboom.

The good news is, this scenario makes a remote presentation easy since it’s browser-based and there’s no need to employ your own proprietary server or deal with bandwidth issues. What’s more, most hosting providers include administrative tools so you can keep track of your presentations if you have only a few uploaded.

5. Share the Source File

Least sophisticated therefore highly popular, this method has its pros and cons. Indeed, you might be well off uploading your presentation on DropBox or Google Drive and sharing a link with a buddy. However, your buddies might not have PowerPoint installed. Or, chances are, they are using an older version, so turns out the slides just won’t open, and the visual frills you sweated over three nights in a row will get lost. Also make sure you always indicate file size, as a download may result in a very lengthy process for some people.

Besides, there are security risks to consider. The presentation might get copied, modified and distributed across the web before you even know it. If your content is sensitive and better kept from prying eyes, it makes sense to consider the safer options described above. To learn more about how to protect PowerPoint slides, also read this article .

Here are our Top 5 ways of sharing PowerPoint presentations online. Hopefully, we managed to convey the feeling of how cool it is to broadcast your materials to a bigger audience yet stay in control of things. Whatever option you choose, make sure you get the most out of PowerPoint, which is a tremendously powerful tool, indeed.

Good luck with your presentations, and stay tuned for more tech notes!

One of the most popular ways to share a PowerPoint presentation online is through collaboration tools. Microsoft PowerPoint offers a built-in collaboration feature that allows multiple users to work on the same presentation simultaneously. By using this feature, you can share your presentation with others and edit it in real-time. Additionally, you can use other collaboration tools like Google Docs, Dropbox, or OneDrive to share your presentation online.

Cloud storage is another convenient way to share your PowerPoint presentation online. By saving your presentation to the cloud, you can access it from anywhere and share it with others. Cloud storage services like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox offer free and paid options that allow you to store and share your presentations securely. With cloud storage, you can also control who has access to your presentation and whether they can edit or view it.

Sharing and Collaboration

Sharing and collaborating on PowerPoint presentations is an essential feature for remote work and distance learning. It allows you to work with others on the same presentation simultaneously. In this section, I will provide you with some tips on how to share and collaborate on your PowerPoint presentations.

The first step in sharing and collaborating on a PowerPoint presentation is to invite your collaborators. You can do this by sending them an email invitation. To invite collaborators via email, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Open your PowerPoint presentation and click on the “Share” button on the top-right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite in the “Invite people” field.

Step 3: Customize the permission level for each collaborator. You can choose between “Can edit” and “Can view” permissions.

Step 4: Add a personal message to your invitation if you want to.

Step 5: Click on the “Share” button to send the invitations.

When sharing and collaborating on a PowerPoint presentation, it’s essential to manage permissions and privacy settings. You want to make sure that your collaborators have the right level of access to your presentation and that your presentation is secure. Here are some tips on how to manage permissions and privacy:

Tip 1: Choose the right permission level for each collaborator. If you want your collaborators to be able to edit your presentation, choose “Can edit” permission. If you only want them to view your presentation, choose “Can view” permission.

Tip 2: Set a password for your presentation if you want to keep it private. You can do this by clicking on the “Protect Presentation” button on the top-right corner of the screen and selecting “Encrypt with Password.”

Tip 3: Use the commenting feature to collaborate with your team. You can add comments to specific slides or elements of your presentation by clicking on the “New Comment” button on the top-right corner of the screen.

In conclusion, sharing and collaborating on PowerPoint presentations is an excellent way to work with others remotely. By following these tips, you can ensure that your presentation is secure and that your collaborators have the right level of access to it.

Integrating Multimedia and Social Platforms

As a presenter, you can make your PowerPoint presentation more engaging by integrating multimedia and social platforms. Here are some tips to help you do that.

Adding videos to your presentation can help you convey your message more effectively. You can embed YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, or any other video that has an embed code. To embed a video, you need to copy the embed code and paste it into your PowerPoint presentation. You can also add social media feeds to your presentation to make it more interactive. For example, you can add a Twitter feed to show live tweets related to your presentation topic.

In addition to videos, you can also add audio to your presentation. Adding audio can help you create a more immersive experience for your audience. You can add background music, sound effects, or even voiceovers to your presentation. You can also use video to create interactive quizzes or polls. For example, you can create a video that asks a question and gives the audience multiple choice answers. You can then use the video to display the results of the poll in real-time.

Overall, integrating multimedia and social platforms into your PowerPoint presentation can help you create a more engaging and interactive experience for your audience. By following these tips, you can make your presentation more memorable and effective.

Quick Tips:

• Embed YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, or any other video that has an embed code to add videos to your presentation.
• Add social media feeds to your presentation to make it more interactive.
• Add audio to your presentation to create a more immersive experience for your audience.
• Use video to create interactive quizzes or polls.

Distribution and Accessibility

When it comes to sharing a PowerPoint presentation online, it is crucial to consider both distribution and accessibility. Here are some tips to make sure your presentation is accessible and viewable across devices.

Exporting your PowerPoint presentation to a PDF format is a great way to ensure that your presentation is accessible to everyone. PDFs can be viewed on any device, and they retain the formatting and layout of your original presentation. To export your presentation to PDF, simply go to “File” and select “Export”. From there, select “PDF” as the file format, and choose the options that suit your needs.

You can also export your presentation to other formats such as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. These formats are useful if you want to include individual slides in other documents or on your website. To export to these formats, go to “File” and select “Export”, then choose the format you want to use.

To ensure that your presentation is accessible across devices, consider using a cloud-based service such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox to share your presentation. These services allow you to store your presentation in the cloud and share it with others via a link. This means that anyone with the link can view your presentation, regardless of the device they are using.

If you are using Microsoft PowerPoint, you can also use Office Online to share your presentation. Office Online is a web-based version of PowerPoint that allows you to create and edit presentations in your web browser. This means that you can share your presentation with others without requiring them to have PowerPoint installed on their device.

Finally, it is important to consider accessibility when sharing your presentation. Make sure that your presentation is accessible to people with disabilities by using the Accessibility Checker in PowerPoint. The Accessibility Checker checks your presentation for common accessibility issues and provides suggestions for how to fix them. This ensures that everyone can access your presentation, regardless of their abilities.

In conclusion, by exporting your presentation to PDF or other formats and using cloud-based services or web-based versions of PowerPoint, you can ensure that your presentation is accessible and viewable across devices. Additionally, using the Accessibility Checker in PowerPoint can help you make sure that your presentation is accessible to everyone.

PowerPoint: Sharing Your Presentation Online

Lesson 33: sharing your presentation online.

/en/powerpoint/rehearsing-and-recording-your-presentation/content/

Introduction

PowerPoint offers several options to enhance or even totally change the way you deliver presentations. Instead of presenting your slide show normally, you can choose to present it as a video , or you can even present it live online so others can view it remotely. No matter how you choose to give your presentation, you can enhance it by customizing your slide show to remove or reorder slides. All of these options can help you give a polished and professional presentation.

Optional: Download our practice presentation for this lesson.

Watch the video below to learn more about the different ways you can share your presentation.

Exporting a presentation as a video

The Create a Video feature allows you to save your presentation as a video. This can be useful because it lets your viewers watch the presentation whenever they want. To make sure your viewers have enough time to view each slide, you might want to rehearse the timings or record your slide show before using this feature.

To create a video:

• Click the File tab to access Backstage view .

• Click Create Video . The Save As dialog box will appear.

In addition to emailing your video, you can upload your video to free video-sharing sites like YouTube . Once your video is uploaded, you can give the link to anyone you want to see it. To learn more about using YouTube to share videos online, review our YouTube tutorial.

Presenting your slide show online

Presenting a slide show online is surprisingly easy. All you and your viewers need is an Internet connection—they don't even need PowerPoint. Once your viewers are connected, you can start the presentation as you normally would.

Please note that you cannot edit your presentation or mark it with a highlighter or pen while you are presenting a slide show online. You also cannot use PowerPoint to speak to your audience. Plan to communicate with your viewers through teleconferencing, or pre-record your narration.

To present online:

• Select the Slide Show tab, then locate the Start Slide Show group.

• A link will appear. If it's not already selected, select the link.

• Click Start Presentation .
• Present the slide show as you normally would, using the mouse or keyboard to advance the slides.

• Open our practice presentation .
• Export the practice presentation as a video, and save it to your computer.
• If you have a friend or family member with an Internet connection, try to present the slide show online .

Helpful advice for online course creators, businesses, and entrepreneurs, 5 ways to share your powerpoint presentation online.

by Brett Trainor | Feb 12, 2015 | Tips & Tricks

“Could I have a copy of your slides?” It’s a common question after you have finished your presentation and received the applause. You may just hand the file to the event sponsor to share with the crowd. However, most people will never get back to your slides – not because they were uninterested, but because it is too inconvenient. Is there a more effective way to share a presentation?

Yes there is—in fact, there are several. You can share your hard work, and not only with interested listeners after a presentation, but also with a larger audience you have never met. How many more people all over the world would benefit from the material you have put together? If you share your PowerPoint online, those viewers can find it.

Here are five of the best ways to share a PowerPoint presentation online. Each has its own advantages, so find the method that works best for your current situation.

1. Let others download your original file

Of course, one method is to simply upload your PowerPoint to Google Drive or DropBox and give the link to a friend. For sharing with just a few people and with viewers, you know personally, this can be the best option.

• If the user does not have PowerPoint, your content will be inaccessible.
• If the user has an older version of PowerPoint, important features may be lost.
• This method has the greatest security risk – if the wrong people get access to the file, they can copy, modify, and distribute it overnight.

To safely share your content with a larger number of viewers, consider one of the other options described below.

2. Upload your presentation to a hosting service

Today, services such as iSpring Cloud (soon to be released), SlideShare, SlideBoom, and many others will host your slides on the web.

Advantages:

• Your file can’t be copied or stolen, so you can share it with the world without losing security.
• You can upload PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote and OpenDocument.
• Your slides can also be viewed on mobile devices.
• You can share your slides in many ways: a direct link, an embed code, or an invitation.
• Some services have features that let you monitor your presentations and solicit feedback from viewers.

A word of caution: depending on the service, you may lose animations and effects.

3. Turn your presentation into a video

This is a fantastic option if you want to reach the widest audience possible. Custom converters like SlideAlloy, Movavi, Wondershare and others will enable you to turn your PowerPoint into a video (Most of these tools function as add-ins in PowerPoint, giving you an extra tab when you open the program). Click the “Publish” button, and your video will go straight to YouTube.

• YouTube comes on nearly every web-browsing device, making your video accessible in many ways.
• You can receive views, comments, likes, and shares.
• It’s easy to share the video on any number of sites just by providing a link.
• You can also publicize the video on all forms of social media.
• Videos are better than slides in many contexts, such as explanations or tutorials.

4. Convert your file to HTML5 or Flash

You can also convert your file to a more flexible format such as HTML5 or Flash. While a quick google search will reveal many free online conversion services, the quality they will produce is questionable at best.

• Using a universal format can be more convenient for your audience.
• HTML5+Flash can also be downloaded on all devices and in all browsers.
• More ways to distribute content online.

You then can do whatever you want with the converted file: embed it on any website, or upload it to your favorite hosting provider to experience all the advantages described in point # 1.

5. Upload your presentation to an LMS

An LMS, or Learning Management System, such as DigitalChalk, is a great option for anyone whose work is related to education. These systems deliver training programs and online classes.

• LMSs often have features for feedback and collaboration.
• Statistics on user activity, such as completion of tests and tasks, are always provided.
• Viewers need an account to access the LMS, helping keep your material secure.
• Some businesses have picked up on the advantages and started to use LMSs for registering or training employees.

New technological solutions are developing all the time, but here are 5 of the best ways available today to share your slide decks with a larger audience while remaining in control.

Stay tuned for more tips to make technology work for you.

How to Share Presentations: 5 Apps and Tricks to Publish Slides Online

Documents get printed, websites get published, spreadsheets get filed away for accountants to double-check later. Presentations, though, get presented. After all the time you spend making slides in PowerPoint, Keynote, or other presentation apps, often you only show those slides during a meeting or talk, then save them in case you give that talk again.

Your slides can do the same for your business. Here are the best ways to get extra results from your presentation by putting it online.

The Simple Option: Embed Presentations From Your Presentation App

Tip : Deskset and Evernote Presentation Mode don’t include embeds, but you can export your presentation as a PDF, then embed it online using any of the tools below.

Either way, you’ll need to promote the presentation yourself. These tools are a great option if you already have a popular blog and want to embed a copy of your presentation in it along with your own presentation notes.

The Social Option: Three Apps to Share Presentations

Sharing a link to your presentation or embedding it in your site is a great way to let your followers know about your talk. Want to reach new people? Presentation sharing apps are the better option. They’re social networks built around presentations, for an easier way both to publish your presentation and help people find it.

Save a copy of your presentation in PowerPoint or PDF format. Then upload your presentation file to one of these apps, and add a name, description, category, and other details. You can then share a link to your presentation or embed it on your site, as with online presentation apps. Best of all, your presentation will now be publicly visible online, and should get new visitors through Google and search inside that presentation app. That makes your presentation a way to share your ideas with a far wider audience who might not otherwise have found your presentation on your blog.

Here are the best options from ten tools we’ve tried:

.css-yjptlz-Link{all:unset;box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;-webkit-transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;outline-offset:1px;-webkit-text-fill-color:currentColor;outline:1px solid transparent;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='inherit']{font-weight:inherit;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='normal']{font-weight:400;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='bold']{font-weight:700;} SlideShare

For clipping favorite slides from popular presentations

You can upload a PDF or PowerPoint file to SlideShare, then add a description, category, and tags to help people discover it—along with additional presentation files or YouTube videos if you want. SlideShare will automatically copy the text out of your slides and include them under it to help your presentation show up in search results. You can also add links to slides, to send viewers to your website. Then, anyone who views your presentation can click through it online, download a PDF copy, or add a comment.

SlideShare includes one other handy tool: A Clip Slide button on presentations so you can save slides you like to your own collection.

For embedding specific slides from a presentation

The best reason to share your presentation on Scribd, though, is that its Embed tool offers far more options. Use the Autosize embed option to match the embed to your slide size, then on down the embed page under Options , choose the Slideshow style to let viewers click between slides (with the default Scroll option, they’ll need to scroll down as in a PDF file to view next slides). You can also set which page—or slide—to show first, if you’d like to embed different parts of your presentation in separate blog posts, perhaps.

Scribd Price: Free to publish and view free content; subscription from $9.99/month to read unlimited paid eBooks

The Streaming Option: Present Your Slides Online in Real Time

Want to present online in real-time, where people can follow your presentation online during your talk? That’s another way to build buzz around your talk and expand your audience. Even if your presentation app doesn’t include a streaming tool, there are other options.

Or, you could use an app designed around streaming presentations—essentially standalone versions of the built-in streaming tools in Keynote and Zoho Slides. Here are two great options.

.css-yjptlz-Link{all:unset;box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;-webkit-transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;transition:all 300ms ease-in-out;outline-offset:1px;-webkit-text-fill-color:currentColor;outline:1px solid transparent;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='ocean']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='white']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']{color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:hover{color:#2b2358;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='primary']:focus{color:#3d4592;outline-color:#3d4592;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']{color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:hover{color:#a8a5a0;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-color='secondary']:focus{color:#fffdf9;outline-color:#fffdf9;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='inherit']{font-weight:inherit;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='normal']{font-weight:400;}.css-yjptlz-Link[data-weight='bold']{font-weight:700;} Presentain

For a live stream of your slides with polls and videos

Then use the Presentain mobile app to start the presentation, switch slides, add polls where your audience can share their thoughts in real-time, and play YouTube videos embedded in your presentation. When you’re done, you can see stats about your presentation and polls online and save your presentation, upgrading your account only on the days you need to stream presentations.

Presentain Price: from $3 for one day of streaming unlimited presentations, so you can purchase a plan only for the days you’re presenting

For making a video of your full presentation

You could use it to record your talk while you’re giving it, but SlidePresenter is best to make a separate copy of your talk for your online audience. It’s an easy way to make a webinar of your presentation to share anytime.

SlidePresenter Price: Free 14 day trial

Next time you give a presentation, don’t save the file in your Documents folder and forget about it. Instead, using your presentation apps’ built-in sharing tools or one of these services, your presentation can be as valuable as a new video or blog post for your company with almost no extra work. It’s a great way to get the most out of your presentation efforts.

Step 4: If you select the share as a link option, you will further get the option to allow others to either edit or view the presentation with the help of the link. You can then “Get a link” after choosing your preferred option.

Step 5: In addition to sharing as a link, you can share your presentation online as an email attachment.

Step 6: If you want to transfer your presentation from one device to another, you can use the QR code scanning option. For this, all you need to do is open the QR code on your device and scan it from the WPS Office application on the other device.

Additionally, you can send PowerPoint presentations from your PC to your phone by logging into the same account on both of the devices and using the “Send to mobile” option.

1. Can I track who has viewed my shared PowerPoint presentation?

Yes, you can track who has viewed your PowerPoint presentation with the help of various online platforms, email tracking or third-party tracking tools, or cloud storage services.

2. Is it possible to password-protect my shared PowerPoint presentation?

Absolutely, you can keep your shared PowerPoint presentation protected with a password. Both WPS Office and Microsoft Office allow you to set a password for your presentations. That way, you can be certain that only authorized people can view or edit your presentation.

3. Is there a way to revoke access to a PowerPoint presentation that I shared with others?

Yes, it is possible to revoke access to a previously shared presentation by altering the settings. You can also disable the link to stop further access by individuals who had the link.

4. Before sharing, can I add transitions and animations to my PowerPoint presentation?

Yes, WPS Presentation allows adding transitions, animations, and other visual effects to your presentation. Remember, these effects may behave or appear a little differently when viewed on other devices or platforms.

To sum it all up, sharing PowerPoint presentations online has revolutionized how we collaborate and communicate.

With the help of platforms like WPD Office and Microsoft PowerPoint, we can eliminate traditional methods and enjoy hassle-free access with improved engagement. Among all of the other platforms, WPS Office indeed stands out as a great alternative with its advanced features.

Share slides in Microsoft Teams meetings with PowerPoint Live

PowerPoint Live in Teams gives both the presenter and audience an inclusive and engaging experience, combining the best parts of presenting in PowerPoint with the connection and collaboration of a Microsoft Teams meeting.

When you’re the presenter, you have a unique view that lets you control your presentation while staying engaged with your audience, seeing people’s video, raised hands, reactions, and chat as needed.

And if you’re an audience member, you can interact with the presentation and personalize your viewing experience with captions, high contrast slides, and slides translated into your native language.

Here’s how it works:  

Tip:  Are you an audience member? Jump down to learn more about how you can interact during the presentation.

Presenter view

Present your slides

If you're in PowerPoint for the web, select Present > Present in Teams .

Your slides will appear in the Teams meeting, with your Notes next to them.

Navigate through the slides

Use the navigation arrows to go forward and backward.

Use the thumbnail strip to jump ahead or backwards.

Select Go to slide to see a grid view of all slides in the presentation. Select one to jump to it.

Stay connected to the audience

One of the benefits of using PowerPoint Live to present instead of sharing your screen is that you have quick access to all your meeting tools you need to engage with the audience and to read the room in one view. This is especially true if you’re presenting from a single screen.

Turn Chat on or off to view what your audience is saying.

See audience reactions and raised hands in real-time.

Change the Layout of your presentation and choose how your live camera feed appears in your presentation, like Standout or Cameo . It helps the audience read your non-verbal cues and keeps them engaged.

Use the Laser pointer , Pen , Highlighter , or Eraser to clearly reference items on your slides.

Audience view

As an audience member, you’re able to personalize your experience without affecting anyone else. Try these options to find what works best for you:

Note:  If presenters don't want people to be able to independently navigate through a PowerPoint file they are sharing, use the  Private view  toggle to turn it off.

Click any hyperlink on slides to get more context right away.

Interact with videos on slides to adjust the volume or jump to a timestamp and consume it at your own pace.

Use a screen reader to get full access to the slide content.

Switch to a high contrast view to make the slides easier to view if you have low vision. Select More options > View slides in high contrast .

Your viewing experience will be at a higher fidelity, letting you see crisp text and smooth animations. PowerPoint Live also requires significantly less network bandwidth than typical sharing, making it the best option when network connectivity is a problem.

Independent magnifying and panning

You can zoom in and pan on a presentation slide without affecting what others see. Use your mouse, trackpad, keyboard, touch, or the Magnify Slide option as applicable. 

To zoom in or out on a slide, do any one of the following: 

Hover over the slideshow and pinch or stretch on trackpad.

Pinch or use the stretch touch gesture (on a touch-enabled device).

Press the + or – keys.

Hover over slide, hold down Ctrl key and scroll with mouse wheel.

In the More Actions menu, click the + or – buttons.

To pan around your slide, do any one of the following:

Press the arrow keys.

Click and drag using a mouse.

Click and drag on a trackpad.

Use one finger to touch and drag (on touch-enabled device).

When done zooming and panning, press  Esc to reset your screen.   

Important: 

PowerPoint Live is not supported in Teams live events, CVI devices, and VTC devices.

If you're using Teams on the web, you’ll need Microsoft Edge 18 or later, or Google Chrome 65 or later, to see the presenter view.

Presenter view is hidden by default for small screen devices but can be turned on by selecting More options below the current slide and then Show presenter view (or by selecting the sharing window and then pressing Ctrl+Shift+x).

Meetings recordings won’t capture any videos, animations, or annotation marks in the PowerPoint Live session.

When you share from Teams, the PowerPoint Live section lists the most recent files you've opened or edited in your team SharePoint site or your OneDrive. If you select one of these files to present, all meeting participants will be able to view the slides during the meeting. Their access permissions to the file outside of the meeting won't change.

If you select Browse and choose to present a PowerPoint file that hasn't been uploaded to Teams before, it will get uploaded as part of the meeting. If you're presenting in a channel meeting, the file is uploaded to the Files tab in the channel, where all team members will have access to it. If you're presenting in a private meeting, the file is uploaded to your OneDrive, where only the meeting participants will be able to access it.
