How To Powerpoint Live

by

PowerPoint Live is a revolutionary feature from Microsoft that has reshaped the way we present and share presentations. It allows you to share your presentation with others in real-time, regardless of their location. This article will guide you through a step-by-step process on how to use PowerPoint Live.

Step 1: Open Your Presentation

First, you’ll need to open the PowerPoint application on your computer. Then, select the presentation file you want to present.

Step 2: Start PowerPoint Live

To start a PowerPoint Live presentation, navigate to the ‘Slide Show’ tab on the main toolbar, then select ‘Present Live’.

Step 3: Choose Your Audience

Next, a dialog box will appear asking you to choose your audience. You have two options: ‘Only people in your organization’ and ‘Anyone’. Choose the one that suits your needs.

Step 4: Share the Link

Once you have selected your audience, a link will be generated. Share this link with your participants. They can join your presentation by simply clicking on this link.

Step 5: Start Presenting

Now that everything is set up, you can click ‘Start session’. Your PowerPoint Live presentation will begin and your audience will be able to follow along in real-time.

The beauty of PowerPoint Live is that participants can navigate the presentation at their own pace, translate slides into their preferred language, send real-time reactions, and even ask questions without interrupting the flow of the presentation.

But what if you want to run some scripts or code during the presentation? Well, PowerPoint Live supports that as well. To include an inline piece of code, simply wrap it with HTML’s <strong>…</strong> tags.

For instance, if you want to display a piece of JavaScript code inline, you can do so like this: <strong>document.getElementById(“demo”).innerHTML = “Hello JavaScript!”;</strong> .

And for a multi-line piece of code, use the 

...

tags.
