- 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’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.
Thanks, I always forget to ask earlier, I get carried away with the content!
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.
Awesome, good luck. I think that part is well worth exploring as a massive time saver.
I agree. Create from file is much, much more useful than creating from scratch.
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 😅
It's very early days, even since I recorded this video I'm getting better results - keep at it!
greate
Insightful watch. It's great to see these things before we buy!
Side note, where can we get those stickers?? 😂😂
I picked them up at a conference, but we do need a way to get more stickers to more people!
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?
Someone else has raised this too, I think it’s my error. The documentation says that feature isn’t available with Copilot Pro but I seem to have it, I will double check why.
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.
Interesting, your experience is what the documentation says, that create from a file isn’t available in the personal Copilot Pro subscription. I will need to double check why I seem to have access to that, thanks
I have been looking into the problem. What I have read indicates I should uninstall MS Office 365 and then reinstall. There are people who are having a similar problem. Thanks for getting back to me.
@@larryberman1113were you able to get create from file working? From what I'm reading, you need a business 365 and copilot for 365, copilot pro won't allow create from file which is frustrating because I know people have. I'm not sure if MS changed the features for new purchases
Reinstalling Office did not resolve my problem. Still no presentation from file. The next step is to call Microsoft.
I found the reason "Currently we support document transformation only for Word files on your organization’s SharePoint. Please upload the content to a file on SharePoint and try again with the link to the uploaded file."
So, this refers to Copilot Pro Business and not to Personal.
Any experience or insights of adopting an existing Powerpoint file to a specific company template/branding?
Jump to the second last chapter in this video at 19:09 - I cover it a bit there. There is a fair bit of setup required in what your corporate template looks like that will change the results. This is a more recently added feature, I suspect it's early days and we will see improvements.
Thank you Lisa! I am a PowerPoint presentation designer in an organization with their own branding and I am very curious into how Copilot can help me with my work. I still have no actual hands on with MS365 Copilot yet so I have no idea how efficient will Copilot be in adopting to our template 😊
From what I’ve seen it will depend a lot on your template design.
Hi, ma'am; I can't find the attached file option (word) in PowerPoint to make slides from it… what should I do?
My mistake in this video, you only get that with the Copilot for Microsoft 365 license (it’s not included in Copilot Pro license)
@LisaCrosbie, thanks for replying! One more thing: I have M 365, but probably the one you're talking about is a separate purchase. Just to have the "file attached" option in ppt. And word, and Excel working on the app, it is a costly individual purchase just to get that option, no? :(
Bias towards US sports. HTF plays cricket?
Indeed. I’m going to keep playing with the prompts. When I tried it again asking for just Melbourne instead of Melbourne Australia I got much better results and images.
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!
