Design captivating presentations with Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint

Completed

Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint acts as your presentation assistant, turning your concepts into impactful slides. With Copilot, you can effortlessly convert written documents into presentation decks, complete with speaker notes and references. When you start a new presentation, all you need to do is provide either an outline or a prompt. You then let Copilot do the heavy lifting. Beyond creation, it also offers tools to streamline long presentations and uses intuitive commands to refine layouts, adjust text formatting, and synchronize animations.

Create a new presentation

Copilot in PowerPoint transforms the way you craft your slides. When you launch a blank PowerPoint document, it stands ready to shape your ideas into a structured presentation, initiating the creation process based on your directives and incorporating a tailored narrative to craft a compelling story. Copilot bridges the gap between idea and visual representation with ease, amplifying your key messages to resonate with your audience.

To get started:

1. Open the Copilot pane within PowerPoint and select Create a presentation.
2. In the prompt window, provide a topic for the new presentation. Copilot in PowerPoint uses this information to draft a full presentation for you.

In this example, we used the prompt: "Create a presentation on outdoor activities. Include sections on Hiking, Camping, Water Sports, and Biking."

Transform written documents into presentations

Copilot in PowerPoint simplifies the transformation of existing files, streamlining the conversion of your documents into vivid visual presentations effortlessly. With this capability, you can easily transform a Word document into a structured PowerPoint presentation, ensuring your content gets the visual representation it deserves. This process not only streamlines your workflow but also brings a new dimension to your written content.

Adjust layouts, reformat text, and time animations

Copilot in PowerPoint offers a dynamic way to enhance your presentations. Imagine you're building a deck titled 'Welcome to Outdoor Activities,' and you want to introduce a segment on fishing. Ask Copilot to “Add a slide about fishing” and it immediately crafts a slide to fit your theme. Moreover, if your presentation on camping adventures feels incomplete, a quick request like “add an image of a lakeside campfire” can infuse it with vibrancy. The versatility of Copilot isn't limited to slide creation; it extends to optimizing layouts, refining text, and perfectly timing animations. Dive in with your own prompts and let Copilot transform your vision into compelling slides.
