How to Create a Presentation with PowerPoint Online
![microsoft office online presentation How to Create a Presentation with PowerPoint Online](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/00-how-to-create-presentation-powerpoint-online-cover.png)
An online version of PowerPoint was introduced in 2010, a few years after the Google Docs release, which came out as early as 2007. Over the years, the product, along with other Microsoft Office apps, underwent major changes, making it more user-friendly and feature-rich for end users.
Given the rise of inter-device connectivity and cloud support, tools like Microsoft 365, particularly its Word, Excel, and PowerPoint web-based counterparts, have considerably increased their capabilities, matching the performance of desktop versions. In this article, we will talk about PowerPoint Online, also called PowerPoint for Web, and how it can help presenters craft presentations and access them on the go wherever they log in.

What is PowerPoint Online
Advantages of powerpoint online, getting started with powerpoint for the web, how to create a powerpoint online presentation, collaboration and sharing, saving and exporting, tips for creating high-quality slides in powerpoint online, troubleshooting common issues in powerpoint online.
- Conclus i on
PowerPoint for the Web, which was previously called PowerPoint Online, is a web-based version of PowerPoint that enables creating, viewing, editing, and sharing PowerPoint presentations online. Unlike Google Slides, PowerPoint for the Web provides better native support for PowerPoint files. It makes it possible to seamlessly work with PowerPoint files and features through a web-based browser, with OneDrive support to share and store your data. PowerPoint for the web is free to use but has limited features. However, if you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you can get better features when using the web-based version of PowerPoint.
PowerPoint for the web provides the same benefits as the desktop version of PowerPoint, with the added advantage of accessing these features anywhere using an Internet browser. Below is a list of advantages of using PowerPoint Online.
Easy Accessibility
You can access PowerPoint features anywhere using an Internet-connected browser without installing the PowerPoint app on your device. Furthermore, you can also upload and access files from your device anytime, anywhere, via the web.
Support for Native PowerPoint Features
Be it online collaboration, cloud storage, or access to version history, you can get native PowerPoint features via a web-based version of PowerPoint without the need to worry about compatibility issues. Furthermore, unlike Google Slides or other web-based variants of PowerPoint, PowerPoint for the web helps access native PowerPoint features without causing compatibility issues such as incorrect display of certain themes or support for various animations available in the offline version.
OneDrive Integration
The integration of PowerPoint for the web with OneDrive allows instantly storing, sharing, and accessing different versions of a file using the cloud storage support of OneDrive.
Easy Sharing
The OneDrive integration enables the online version of PowerPoint to be used for instantly sharing presentations online using a link with a specific access level (view only or editing privileges).
Online Collaboration
While PowerPoint’s offline version also provides collaboration features, using PowerPoint for the web can provide a smoother experience when looking for real-time changes to a PowerPoint file.
Version History
PowerPoint files saved with the web version come with a version history, where you can access older file versions to restore according to need. This feature is also available for the offline version, which you must turn on upload to OneDrive. In other words, version history is only supported for PowerPoint files that are saved online.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Since you only need a web browser and a Microsoft account to access PowerPoint Online, there are no issues with having a compatible device to use the app. This means you can access PowerPoint Online using any device that can run a modern Internet browser.
Accessibility Features
PowerPoint for the web is among the few platforms that provide accessibility features for persons with disabilities, such as image ALT text and support for screen readers.
PowerPoint for the web is regularly updated, providing access to the latest features for end users.
To get started, go to Office.com or powerpoint.office.com and select the PowerPoint icon to access PowerPoint for the web. You will require a Microsoft account to log in.
![microsoft office online presentation Login to Microsoft 365 account](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/01-log-into-microsoft-365.png)
Once logged in, you can create a new PowerPoint presentation or upload one from your device. All you need for accessing the web version of PowerPoint is a modern Internet browser and a device that can support it. This web-based version of PowerPoint works with all commonly used browsers and their variants, including Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, and others.
![microsoft office online presentation Opening PowerPoint for Web in Microsoft 365](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/02-open-powerpoint-in-microsoft-365.png)

![microsoft office online presentation PowerPoint Designer in Microsoft 365](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/08-format-slides-in-powerpoint-online.png)
Like the desktop app, the Design tab in PowerPoint Online provides access to themes, background and slide size adjustment options, and theme variants to help you design your slides.

![microsoft office online presentation Insert tab in PowerPoint Online](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/10-insert-tab-in-powerpoint-online.png)
Formatting Pictures
Like the desktop version of PowerPoint, pictures can be added from your device, stock images, or via Bing search. The Picture tab can be used to format added pictures after selecting them. Various options in this tab allow you to crop, add a picture frame, and adjust the picture on the slide.

![microsoft office online presentation Format sizing options in PowerPoint Online for Videos](https://cdn2.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/13-editing-a-picture-in-powerpoint-online-1024x634.png)
Formatting Videos
PowerPoint for the web allows formatting videos via the Shape tab and Format Options via the right-click menu. The Shape tab can give a frame or shape to the video, adjust the outline, manage how it is displayed on the slide, and adjust the size of the video. Sometimes, the Shape tab might be replaced with the Video tab to show editing options. This change is particularly visible if the user is not logged in and is editing the presentation as a Guest user. The Format Options enable editing the video’s width, height, angle, text margins, shadow, and reflection.

You can consider the tips below to create visually appealing slides with PowerPoint Online.
Focus on Design Consistency
Use a consistent design with a color scheme, fonts, alignment, and graphics tailored to a specific format. Don’t use too many changes that might make the content appear muddled.
Avoid Heavy Multimedia
Since PowerPoint for the Web is an online platform, not everyone might have the required Internet bandwidth or hardware to run heavy presentations smoothly. Using multimedia content in moderation can help avoid such issues.
Uncluttered Slides
Cluttered slides on an online interface will likely cause compatibility issues for some viewers or the slides might not appear properly on some browsers and devices. To avoid this, try to create uncluttered slides. Using minimalist slides might just be the best way to go.
Even the Distribution of Slide Elements
By evenly distributing slide elements with proper alignment, you should be able to create online slides that are easy for the eyes to follow.
Choose Imagery Carefully
When selecting icons, graphical elements, and pictures, try not to use imagery that is too flashy and might cause issues when opened across different browsers and devices. You can use icons from the built-in icons library in PowerPoint and select pictures that don’t visually overpower the viewer.
Get Design Ideas
You can get design ideas using PowerPoint Designer to adjust your design for visual appeal and design consistency.
Productivity Shortcuts
PowerPoint for the web primarily provides most of the features in the desktop app. Below are some tips and tricks for productivity when using the web version of PowerPoint. For some shortcuts listed below, PC users must use CTRL, whereas Mac users will use Command.
- Insert New Slide using CTRL+M hotkey (Command+M for Mac)
- Use F5 to start the slideshow and Esc to end the slideshow
- CTRL+D duplicates the slide (Command+D for Mac)
- CTRL+Shift+D deletes the slide (Command+Shift+D for Mac)
- Use CTRL+S to save slide (Command+S for Mac)
- Use CTRL+W to close the presentation (Command+W for Mac)
- To open printing options, use CTRL+P (Command+P for Mac)
- Zoom in with CTRL+Plus button (Command+Plus button for Mac)
- Zoom out with CTRL+Minus button (Command+Minus button for Mac)
- Insert a table with CTRL+T (Command+T for Mac)
- Insert a hyperlink with CTRL+K (Command+K for Mac)
- Align text with CTRL+L for left, CTRL+E for center, and CTRL+R for right (Replace CTRL with Command for Mac)
Screen Freezes When Working with PowerPoint for the Web
If your screen freezes while you’re working, the web version of PowerPoint is likely encountering an issue when saving the file, showing elements, or inserting content. You can wait a while, and the issue should be resolved. Also, check your Internet connection to see that you are connected. You might want to close additional tabs and review your system usage to see if your hardware is overwhelmed due to resource-intensive apps or multiple browser tabs.
![](http://rss3.fun/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Slide Elements Don’t Appear Properly
If your browser isn’t compatible or uses a browser plugin that blocks slide elements, you might encounter issues viewing slides. Use a compatible browser and turn off any plugins that might interfere with PowerPoint’s online interface.
File Upload or Download Issues
When you are unable to upload or download files, it is likely that your Internet connection is unstable or disconnected. Check your connection to resolve the issue.
Unable to Login
This is likely caused by incorrect credentials or a recent change in credentials, such as a password. If you cannot log in despite no apparent issues, try to clear your browser’s cache or switch to another browser to see if you can log in.
PowerPoint for the web provides most features available for the desktop version and some sharing and collaboration features that require uploading the file online for use. You will notice that some of these features are smoother when used with the online version compared to the desktop version. Furthermore, the online version of PowerPoint provides access regardless of whether you have PowerPoint installed on your device. If you are someone who does not have a Microsoft 365 subscription and needs to access a PowerPoint file, you can log in for free with a Microsoft account with limited features. Alternatively, if the online version is not an option for you, you can still learn how to create a PowerPoint presentation in the installed version of Office.

How to use PowerPoint: A beginner's guide

I can't come up with a topic for you, but I can definitely help you with the whole creating a PowerPoint part. Even if you just need to use PowerPoint for work (which, while much less fun, is probably more likely), here's everything you need to know about how to use PowerPoint.
Table of contents:
What is PowerPoint?
What is powerpoint used for.
PowerPoint can be used for anything from traditional meeting presentations to school reports and recreational nerd-outs (see: PowerPoint parties).
Here are a handful of ways you can use PowerPoint:
Giving slide presentations
Creating basic animations and infographics
Creating digital portfolios
Displaying looping information on monitors or kiosks
How to use Microsoft PowerPoint step by step
If you've ever used other Microsoft tools like Word or Excel, you're probably already familiar with PowerPoint's navigation layout. It includes several tabs across the top of your screen, each offering plenty of ways to add, edit, and collaborate on content with your team.
I recommend experimenting with all of the features PowerPoint has to offer, but we'll get started with the step-by-step process of creating your first PowerPoint presentation.
How to add slides in PowerPoint
To create a new file, start by clicking +New and choosing a theme. You can start with a blank slate or pick a built-in template.
![microsoft office online presentation In PowerPoint, you can start with a blank slate or pick a built-in template.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/54eo79I5FUJftWUu96klBw/26d26c186ee847b088b1a6b1ecc7aba6/powerpoint-online-guide-01-new.png?w=1400)
From the Home tab, you can add new slides by clicking the arrow next to New Slide and choosing a layout.
Click into a text box to add or edit text. Format your text by choosing from the options in the toolbar. You can also add other content (like tables and charts, images, icons, and more) from the Insert tab.
![microsoft office online presentation Content addition options (like tables and charts, images, icons, and more) in the Insert tab.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/7qLdpHxVEKZ2googEPGnJ5/91fa39d3f66eb1af05e86ee6e26a57b9/powerpoint-online-guide-03-insert-tab.png?w=1400)
How to add transitions in PowerPoint
Transition effects can add a bit of pizzazz to your slides. From the slide you want to edit, click the Transitions tab. Choose a transition effect from the menu (click the arrow next to the menu to see more options).
![microsoft office online presentation Choose a transition effect from the menu (click the arrow next to the menu to see more options).](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/5elDO3evNTu2ODvbGYcd7K/eecc9e59a35110fb67aaa77130ef08aa/powerpoint-online-guide-04-transitions-tab.png?w=1400)
Adjust the options at the right of the toolbar to choose a sound effect, transition duration, and whether the transition will trigger on a mouse click or after a certain number of seconds. If you want to use the same transition settings for all your slides, click Apply to All.
![microsoft office online presentation Toolbar options to choose a sound effect, transition duration, and whether the transition will trigger on a mouse click or after a certain number of seconds. Click Apply to All to add those settings to all your slides.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/2TyF7kIzvtg1daroKPkGwX/aed949fec2f667819f023181b7fd8b92/powerpoint-online-guide-05-transition-settings.png?w=1400)
How to add presenter's notes in PowerPoint
The best slides are simple and uncluttered—but if you're giving a presentation, odds are good that you need more in-depth notes than the few bullet points on the screen. That's where presenter's notes come in.
The default view in PowerPoint allows you to click into the Notes pane and add notes below every slide. If this option isn't visible to you, click the Notes button at the bottom of your screen to unhide the feature.
![microsoft office online presentation Click into the Notes pane and add notes below the slide.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/5FHI9whYGdGXXtsDBgYew7/c47aedc166813ccd6b3947451ab914cf/powerpoint-online-guide-06-add-notes.png?w=1400)
When you give your presentation in presenter view (more on that below), you'll be able to see your notes alongside the slide deck, while the audience will only see the slides in full-screen view.
How to use presenter view in PowerPoint
Not that I have any personal experience completely bombing a presentation I hadn't practiced, but take it from me: it's best to practice presenting your slides before you're in front of a live audience. Here's how to share a PowerPoint presentation as smoothly as possible.
How to present a PowerPoint with notes
First, adjust your presentation settings. In the Slide Show tab, select Set Up Slide Show.
![microsoft office online presentation In the Slide Show tab, select Set Up Slide Show.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/72zxN2idoTFFB2wJifmxPn/1137f1fd15ada0f0cc53aed64f960044/powerpoint-online-guide-07-set-up-slide-show.png?w=1400)
This dialog box lets you decide whether the show will be full screen or in a window, looped continuously, and whether to advance slides manually or using your custom timings. You can also customize which slides will be included in the show.
The most important thing is to make sure the Monitors setting looks right. You'll want to make sure the main presentation screen appears as an option, and that it's selected.
When everything looks right, click OK to close that dialog box. Select Presenter View in the menu bar to start the slideshow.
![microsoft office online presentation Select Presenter View in the menu bar to start the slideshow.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/2a60ukIDJPCYbY9sdKgKp5/1b35215b4c20eff82a84344a7e92830c/powerpoint-online-guide-08-presenter-view.png?w=1400)
The presentation should begin, with split screens for the presenter and the audience. Here's what your screen will look like, with the slide on one side and your notes on the other:
![microsoft office online presentation The presenter view screen, with the slide on one side and your notes on the other.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/7KDZW3ug2C5EY8bMz6IbM8/c32606f9ba39fcc6ec4bc0af75aa3b2e/powerpoint-online-guide-09-presenter-screen.png?w=1400)
That way, you can click through the show while referring to your notes, while your audience only sees the slides on their screen or monitor.
![microsoft office online presentation The audience's view in presenter view: the slide only.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/4sEaz5oajAglnCghDFxRqm/d56943edc0af74ebffc4edb54256c22d/powerpoint-online-guide-10-audience-view.png?w=1400)
How to present a PowerPoint on Zoom
If you're giving a remote presentation, your options depend on whether you have two monitors available to you. If you're using two monitors, just pick the one you want your audience to see—and make sure that one is selected in the Monitors settings (see above).
If you only have one monitor, you can use the following trick:
From the Slide show tab, click Play from Start.
When the full-screen presentation begins, click the three dots and select Use Presenter View.
![microsoft office online presentation From the full-screen presentation, click the three dots and select Use Presenter View.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/4VO0Fo09AiBc4ZqWv0WLvC/8681dd0949f8b4de547acbb3f98a9185/powerpoint-online-guide-11-use-presenter-view.png?w=1400)
This will open a new full-screen window showing the presenter view.
In Zoom, share the screen with the slides.
That way, you'll be able to toggle back to your presenter view screen and continue with the show, while your Zoom participants will only see your slides.
Bonus: Advanced PowerPoint tips and tricks
I've barely scratched the surface of what you can do with PowerPoint (there are literal books written about it), and the more you play around with its features, the more creative you can get with presentations. But as you experiment with the tool, here are a few more tips that can help you get the most out of PowerPoint.
Learn PowerPoint keyboard shortcuts
The less you have to use your mouse or trackpad, the faster your work goes. These PowerPoint keyboard shortcuts can help simplify your presentation workflows.
|
|
|
---|---|---|
New presentation | command+N | Ctrl+N |
New slide | command+shift+N | Ctrl+M |
Insert a comment | command+shift+M | Ctrl+Alt+M |
Go to the next slide | Down arrow | Down arrow |
Go to the previous slide | Up arrow | Up arrow |
Start the slide show | command+shift+return | F5 |
End the slide show | esc | ESC |
Use Microsoft Copilot with PowerPoint
![microsoft office online presentation Copilot creates a slide based on a prompt.](https://images.ctfassets.net/lzny33ho1g45/deKEoQyd7SWXkfhVbRaDE/7f8ca517b2dc7b32697585da61a766cd/image9.png?w=1400)
If you have a Copilot for Microsoft 365 or Copilot Pro license, you can use Copilot in PowerPoint to do things like:
Create a slide presentation based on a prompt
Add an individual slide based on a prompt
Create a presentation from an existing PDF or Word document
Summarize an existing presentation
Organize a presentation into a coherent structure
Save all your PowerPoint presentations in one easily accessible location
Copy new onedrive files to dropbox.

A Free Microsoft Office: Is Office Online Worth Using?
\nLucas Gouveia \/ How-To Geek | Microsoft"">
More isn't always better. Depending on your needs, this might just be the case with the free version of Microsoft 365. Let's look at why the free plan might be good enough for your needs, and when you might need to upgrade.
Accessible Anywhere With a Wi-Fi Connection and a Browser
While you require a Microsoft 365 subscription to use the desktop apps (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook), the web versions are completely free. As long as you have a constant internet connection and are using a modern browser, you can access them without installing anything.
Even though some advanced features found in the desktop apps might be missing, the core features are all there. For instance, you can create and edit documents in Word and carry out basic spreadsheet functions in Excel. You can even share your documents and workbooks with others to take advantage of Microsoft 365's real-time collaboration .
The best part is that the Microsoft 365 apps for iOS and Android are also completely free. You can even use them offline and collaborate with others on the go.
Enjoy a Simplified Interface
Since the desktop apps are full-featured, their user interface can sometimes be cluttered with extra features you don't use all that often. The web versions strip them to their essentials, making the ribbon cleaner and more accessible, allowing you to find what you need quicker. This also makes it easier to concentrate on your tasks without being overwhelmed with too many options that you don't even need.
Even the free mobile versions have a compact ribbon for a more focused and less cluttered experience. This is not to say the interface of the desktop apps is bad by any means—they're just different.
5 GB of Free OneDrive Cloud Storage
The 5 GB of free OneDrive storage might be enough depending on your usage habits and needs. If you are primarily using it to store documents (e.g., Word docs, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs), that space is more than enough, even if you store many of them. You can access these files on any device (computer, phone, or tablet) with a modern browser and internet connection.
It's even suitable for storing small photos and videos. You can also use it to back up your most important files and documents.
If you are a light user, you don't need to pay for that extra 1 TB of storage space. You probably will need additional storage if you're storing HD videos, high-resolution images, or a lot of multimedia files.
If you're looking for a cloud storage service with more free space, you may want to consider Google Drive , which offers 15 GB free.
Stay Immersed in Microsofts Ecosystem
They might be known as Microsoft 365 apps today, but Word, Excel, and PowerPoint have been around since the 1980s. Many people have used these apps through the years since they were part of Microsoft Office. And with the free web versions, they're more accessible now than ever, allowing you to stay immersed in the Microsoft ecosystem without paying for or downloading the desktop version.
Also, they're well-integrated with other Microsoft 365 apps. For instance, files created in Word can be saved in OneDrive and accessed on any device. You can create an email in Outlook and attach a document from OneDrive seamlessly. You can even create To Do tasks right in Outlook.
You can also integrate the free Microsoft 365 web apps with other apps through the Office Add-Ins feature.
The free version of Microsoft 365 is good enough if you're not looking for advanced features. You can use Microsoft 365 in your everyday life or at the office and get things done just fine. There's no need to shell out $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year if you don't have to.
