Good Day, the option of Export to Animated GIF or save as Animated GIF does not show on my PowerPoint 365. Export option only show the following; Create PDF/XPS Document, Create a Video, Package Presentation for CD, Create Handouts, Chane File Type and Publish to Microsoft Stream.

Thanks for the feedback, 100% on target. Based on your feedback I followed-up. Indeed, Semi-annual update and current version is 1908. The Create Animated GIF is only available from 2001 (Build 16.0.12410).

Hi Longbow2020,

Did you try to switch to Monthly channel? If you have any updates on it, please feel free to post back.

Best regards,

Hi Longbow2020,

Like John said, this is a new feature, and since it is only available on the Office 365 Monthly channel Version 2001 (Build 16.0.12410) and later, previous versions will not have this feature.

If you want to use this feature on your side, you can choose to switch your Office to Monthly channel (if your Office is managed by your admin, you need to contact him to do this). For the detailed steps about how to switch to Monthly channel, you can refer to this article: Change the Office 365 ProPlus update channel for devices in your organization.

Appreciate your understanding.

Best regards,

Jazlyn

This is a pretty new featurea and your business version may be on Semi Annual updates (ie well behind)

You probably need to swap to monthly updates (Your admin may need to do this) and quote the version number you have currently.
