Presenting Powerpoint in TEAMS - can I make live edits to the slides

Hi ColinT62, My name is Umar and I'd be happy to help you out with your question.

Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum. We are users just like you who help others. We are not employees of Microsoft.

Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to make live edits to PowerPoint slides while presenting using the "Present in Teams" button feature in Microsoft Teams. However, you can use the "Share" button in Teams to share your PowerPoint presentation and make live edits to the slides. This is a great way to capture audience feedback in real time.

If you want to make live edits to your PowerPoint slides during a Teams meeting, you can try sharing your screen instead of using the "Present in Teams" button feature. This will allow you to share your entire desktop or a specific window, including your PowerPoint presentation, and make live edits that will be visible to the audience.

To share your screen in Teams, click on the "Share" button during the meeting and select the screen or window you want to share. You can then make live edits to your PowerPoint slides and the audience will be able to see them in real-time. However, it's important to note that sharing your screen may affect the quality of the presentation, especially if you have a slow or unstable internet connection.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

One big advantage to PowerPoint Live is that the presentation is loaded into the cloud instead of being shared from the presenter's screen. Un-sharing and re-sharing the deck will get your edits into the presentation: but a simple "reload presentation" button available for all presenters would gracefully fix this problem. Just clicking "Share" in teams again and then selecting the presentation reloads it, and allows the presenter to resume from the most recent slide.

I struggled with this for a while and took another look this morning, and found that re-sharing the presentation works pretty well. It would be great to give a co-presenter the ability to edit and reload, but that might be too much to ask at this point.

Now if we can have "private view" turned on by default, I would be really happy.

Thanks Umar

Definitely need that capability. Hopeful the TEAMs team add that feature
