More information

We will retire the Web Viewer add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint and remove it from Microsoft App Source on December 2, 2024. After this date, the add-in will be unavailable for download or use. Existing files will not be affected, although the add-in's functionality in existing slides will end.

We are retiring the add-in due to low usage. We are prioritizing more critical and relevant features for PowerPoint.

This message applies to PowerPoint for Windows and Mac desktop and to PowerPoint for the web.
