Top Copilot Features in PowerPoint!

In this video you'll learn how to use Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint to create presentations from natural language, create presentations from existing files (including your own brand template), and how to summarise and ask questions of information in PowerPoint presentations. I go through tips to help you succeed - and some things go wrong along the way!

I'd spent the week trying to use Powerpoint Copilot and it was frustrating. Now watching this video, I can see laid out very clearly what copilot powerpoint can and can't do. Helpful to see the current limits so I don't waste time trying to do something it can't do. Lot's of helpful little tips throughout.

I’m glad you reminded me to like the video, but maybe around 7 minutes, instead of near the end. Very brief ask, and well placed, if a bit late. 👍👊

Thanks for the tutorial.

I agree. Create from file is much, much more useful than creating from scratch.

Thanks for the tips, Lisa. A group of us are trialling CoPilot and are blown away by some of the stuff it does but the PowerPoint capability wasn't one of them. However, you've inspired me to give it another go using "Create Presentation from File" as an alternative approach.

Thanks Lisa, hilarious opening slides as you attempt to keep this thing on the rails. And representstive of my experience. I've not been able to use it at all in what are otherwise complex corporate slide decks. Maybe next year 😅

Insightful watch. It's great to see these things before we buy!

Side note, where can we get those stickers?? 😂😂

I've been trying to use the create from file feature but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have a special subscription to support it?

[Bri-dk]

Can you please add the link to where you found the Microsoft - Copilot Studio Implementation Guide PPT presentation?

[anthonyvincent]

Thanks for this insightful video, if l subscribe as a single user, would l be able to save my work and then transfer it to my office Microsoft to use for my presentation?

Any experience or insights of adopting an existing Powerpoint file to a specific company template/branding?

[larryberman]

I have Copilot Pro (Personal). When I launch Copilot in PowerPoint I do not get "Create Presentation From File" like you get in your video. I have a subscription to Microsoft Office 365. Please tell me what I can do.

Hi, ma'am; I can't find the attached file option (word) in PowerPoint to make slides from it… what should I do?

Bias towards US sports. HTF plays cricket?

I really appreciate your walkthroughs, but I have to say . . . . your less than optimal first few attempts made me think of the old thing about give typewriters to a million monkeys . . . well, they came close!
