MC1461152 - Create interactive slides in PowerPoint with Copilot skill (Windows and Mac)

What and why:

We’re introducing Create interactive slides in PowerPoint for Windows and Mac. This capability helps users create interactive, full-slide visuals that explain complex concepts, timelines, comparisons, systems, and data.

By making sophisticated visual communication easier to create directly in PowerPoint, this experience can help users communicate ideas more clearly and create engaging presentations with less manual effort.

Rollout schedule:

• Frontier (Worldwide):
  • Desktop: Available now.
  • Mac: Rolling out now and expected to complete by early September 2026.

Impact on your organization:
