Microsoft PowerPoint

PowerPoint is a computer program that allows you to create and show slides to support a presentation. You can combine text, graphics and multi-media content to create professional presentations for a range of uses. PowerPoint has accessibility features such as subtitles which help you make videos and presentations more accessible for other people.

Microsoft PowerPoint will allow you to:

  • Organise and structure presentations.

  • Create a professional-looking and consistent format for your slides.

  • Provide an illustrative backdrop for the content of your presentation.

  • Animate your slides to give them a greater visual impact.

  • Provide subtitles to presentation in a range of languages.

  • Rehearse presentations and receive in-app coaching.

  • Use a teleprompter to capture recordings of your presentations in order to create video that includes PowerPoint slides and your audio and\or webcam.

PowerPoint is accessible as a desktop application and as an online version via Office.com. Functionality differs slightly between the two so it’s worth trying both options.

There are a number of short videos you can view to help you understand how to use the application and get the most out of it:
