Overview
PowerPoint Live is a new feature available in PowerPoint for the web. Access PowerPoint for the web at office365.utk.edu. The PowerPoint Live experience can assist presenters in making their presentations engaging and inclusive. Everyone in the audience/class (in person or online environments) can connect from their device (laptop, tablet, or phone) where they can follow along with the presentation. They can move back through the slides to review information at their own pace without impacting the presenter. Two other features in PowerPoint Live are live reactions and live subtitles. The live reactions allow the audience to provide instant feedback through emojis that will pop up on the screen during the presentation. The live subtitles allow each participant to choose their preferred language for subtitles.
