PowerPoint Live: New Teams Features

Key insights

• PowerPoint Live
  Microsoft’s Teams mode for presenting slides that keeps presenter tools and audience features in one place, so presenters see notes, chat, and reactions without switching windows.
• Stay in Sync
  The new experience focuses on keeping presenters and attendees aligned in real time, reducing interruptions and confusion during live meetings.
• Refresh
  Presenters can load the latest version of a deck during a meeting without stopping or resharing the presentation, saving time when slides change at the last minute.
• Explain
  Attendees can select slide text and ask Copilot to explain unfamiliar terms, making dense or technical content easier to understand on the spot.
• Audience independence
  Viewers can navigate slides, zoom, and return to the presenter’s current slide on their own devices without disrupting the presenter’s flow.
• Accessibility
  PowerPoint Live supports live subtitles, translation, high-contrast viewing, and magnification to improve comprehension and inclusion for diverse audiences.
