Discover the top Microsoft Office PowerPoint add-ins to transform your presentations! This video guides you through six must-have tools that will elevate your PowerPoint experience.
Here's what's inside:
âȘïž Pro Word Cloud: Visualize text data effortlessly. Create impactful word clouds to highlight key trends and phrases.
âȘïž Break Time: Manage time smartly in lengthy presentations. Embed a countdown timer directly into your slides to ensure timely breaks and keep your audience engaged.
âȘïž QR4Office: Simplify audience engagement. Generate QR codes easily, directing viewers to your website, social media, or presentation materials.
âȘïž Mentimeter: Make your presentations interactive. Set up live polls, quizzes, and word clouds, engaging your audience in real-time.
âȘïž Thor - The Hammer: Streamline your slide designs. Position and resize images uniformly across slides with this handy tool from Steve Rinsberg.
In this video you'll learn the top 5 best add-ins for Microsoft PowerPoint any professional should have. Create word cloud images from text for free in PowerPoint, insert QR codes with a free addin. An icebreaker for any presentation is the Mentimeter addin for PowerPoint. I'll show you how to easily integrate Mentimenter with your PowerPoint presentation. You'll also learn how to add a count down timer or a break timer so everyone knows when to get back, and a hammer to memorize the size and position of any shape on a PowerPoint slide. This way you can use the same size and shape setting of one image on other slides as well.
I also added a bonus tip to speed up the use of PowerPoint add-ins in your daily work.

Awesome! Thank you!
You will find a wealth of information in the channel.
Thank you for this - I had no idea that mentimeter had an add in for PPT - that's so cool.
Thanks for sharing such amazing Add-Ins...
Effortless and priceless learning worthy giving thumbs up
Thank you for the add-in tutorial, I am always learning new ways to use Excel from your video's #1 place for me to go when I need to do something in excel. I have a question, is there a way to import a custom icon instead of having to pick from the defaults? An example would be to use a mechanic icon, or driver icon for the graph.
THANK YOU. I teach 5th grade and I used the word cloud add in for comments left on a parking lot at the end of the first week of school. The kids loved seeing their ideas represented.
Thanks for these excellent add-ins.
Very useful. Thank you
Absolutely Love it, Cool Add-ins
As a teacher, these tips are great for improving the effectiveness of the PPTs I use with my students- thanks!
Many thanks Leila!! very useful
Excelent video, thank you for sharing your tips
Thank you miss Leila for sharing such amazing Add-Ins... you are the best
THOR is excellent! Thanks for the tip!
I appreciate your teachings so much, and I really enjoy the nasal quality of your voice.
Thank you Leila! đ
cool one, thank you for sharing
this will really help in works, Thanks for sharing this Mam
Leila, you are one of the best presenters I have seen. Your presentations are concise and to the point. They are informative and entertaining so that they hold my attention. The way you present yourself is dynamic! You look right into the camera as if you were talking directly to me which makes it very engaging, your voice isn't monotone and you have clear diction with just the right amount of intonation. You are always dressed professionally and your set is simple yet to the point. Simply put "less is more". You are a class act and I really learn a lot and enjoy your presentations. Thank you for providing these tutorials.
Wow, thank you so much!
Very helpful, thanks Ms Gharani!
Helpfull video thank you
Mentimeter in PowerPoint is really nice for a seemless experience. This will surely set my presentations apart from the others who fumble around with switching to the browsers. Thank you so much :)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks alot.
Thank you Leila! I really loved THOR
Love it!
Awsome, thanks
Thanks Leila, your are a life saver. I have learnt so much with your videos thanks a million for sharing your expertise. I'm not able to do this though, I imagine I need an specific version of PP? If so, which one?
These are great, thanks Leila!
Thanks for watching, Chris!
Amazing...
Pro word cloud is a game changer for me.. thank you
Thanks for this amazing vidoe.
Awsome!
Please recommend more addons! Thanks for this!
Will do!
There is another add in worth to consider, Slido. I used it to interact with the attendees without the need to exit from your presentation slides.
Slido is an alternative to Mentimeter. Both have limited options without subscribing. Simply choose which oneâs lay-outs appeals most to you
Thx for the mentimeter add-in - using mentimeter for years but did never realize this add-in, which is really a great support in showing the live-results from the queriesâŠ
Happy to help, Gerhard :)
Amazing presentation style! Love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
The best add-ins collection from academic perspective.
Glad you find it helpful!
Wow these are great and useful, thank you Leila take care
Youâre welcome đ
loved the QR
Thank you from Japan.
The Thor one is really useful for me. Thank you :D
one of the best channel on CZcams
Cool, thanks for sharing đ
It's my pleasure, Alonzo.
I love the word cloud. It inspired me to wonder if there is a way to make a word cloud from a column on a SharePoint list and display it dynamically on a SharePoint page?
good your video thank you for sharing
I enjoyed your video
Beauty with brainâ€ïž
Thanks for featuring THOR, Leila, and for doing such a great job of it. I wrote it, I've thought about doing my own video to describe it, but why bother? I'll just send people here instead. Brilliant!
Does it work in office 365?
Welldone Leilađ
Superb. Very useful Leila
Thank you đ
You are providing a great education, which I really appreciate knowing. THANK YOU!
I have question concerning these Add-Ins, how can I find them for the pptx on iPad, because I couldnât!!??
Oh man the Thor one is going to be a life saver for me - I do that all the time! Subscribed and followed for that alone :) Thanks!
Thanks for the sub!
Need to see more add-ins ...
Hi Leila, Is Thor and Pro Word Cloud only available on the windows version of PowerPoint? Is there any you could recommend for Mac or Web? Love the videos,.
Thanks Leila, do you have any PowerPoint add in that creates an animated running number
For example I set the start number and the end number then I can generate an animation for it according to some defined templates.
It is really a need to have one, thank you again!
Please make a video on Remote from Microsoft addin which is very useful for teachers and presenters in a boardroom
Mentimeter is cool!
It really is!
wooooooooooooooooooow!!!!!
Hi Leila - old fan of your channel. Can you please do a video on how to update Excel with Planner automatically. So if any buckets/task fields from Planner gets updated/added/removed then it is reflected in Excel automatically. Not sure if it works with Power Query, if not then with Power Automate. Thanks in advance.
Leila, these are really great add-ins. I am facing one problem, when I add a slide from Mentimeter, I can't see it in my PPT in presentation mode âč. Any suggestions, I followed the steps you showed several times, with no luck. Appreciate your help.
Leila, I usually break my decks into sections and each slide inside that section has a title with the section name on it. Is there to make the title update automatically according to the section name or something similar instead of having to go one by one?
Great. You are the greatest on CZcams! My question: For the break timer; how I can make a ring after the counter get to 00:00?
thank you, do these add ins work without internet connection?
similar to Menti, Kahoot is great ice breaker or mental break for participants. :)
The reason I visit Leila's office every Thursday morning ... is to sample a candy-dish of ideas ... đŹđđđŹđŹđđ ... and this morning was another 'treat'.
Thank you ... thank you ... thank you .... đ
You're always welcome in my little office đ Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the informative video! I searched for "pro word cloud" in add-ins (Mac) but the one you reference in this video doesn't appear. Is this add-in a PC-specific add-in?
thanks a lot for these tips, however, I can't open MS Store,
... and do not forget to Export your customizations in toolbar or any other customizable feature built-in MS Office:
File >> Options >> Quick Access Toolbar
in (bottom right) Customization: >> [ Import/Export ]
and save your customizations to carry with you to be imported to an Office app and keep your productivity in your Customer environment as an example.
In my case: I consider Excel formulas as a code and I use glasses, so I usually change the Excel Formula area font to a monospaced (fixed-width) font a bit larger than the default one.
Since I put my hands on one of the firsts Radio Shack TRS-80 (8-bit Z80 16KB monochromatic) of the country I fell in love by the (slashed-0) terminal fonts... and as a left-handed I abandoned my cursive handwriting to a capital letter handwriting many years ago... with a slashed-0 - my choice is Consolas 11. To change the font of Excel Formula area:
File >> Options >> General
in (the second field) "When creating new workbooks:"
Use this as the default font: [ and chose the font you like ]
it doesn't affect the document (spreadsheet) area, just the Formula area.
This week I started to UXing my Excel following the W3C recommendations and AWS techniques (not the Amazon one, but initials of Ophthalmology Researchers) to improve productivity and keep my eyes safe, such as change cell colors to a (Windows Tan, light-grey greenish) (Paper) White and font colors to (Windows Dark Grey) (Ink) Black, and changed the font to Verdana 11. I already UXing my Notepad++ Light Mode to the same foreground/background colors and Consolas 11. I am still working on it but I will save as Book Template according to one of Leila Gharani's video about templates.
Many thanks to Leila... I just subscribed to her channel minutes ago.
Thank you!! Great!!! What is the program you use or would recommend for recording such videos??
We use and recommend Camtasia. Get 10% OFF (affiliate link): techsmith.z6rjha.net/c/1252781/1154424/5161
I like the THOR tool! Thanks for these tips :) Could they be created with VBA by the way?
Some of the add-ins Leila (BRILLIANTLY!) features can't be created in VBA (the ones from the Microsoft store). Others (THOR, for example) can definitely be created in VBA. THOR was for sure. I wrote it. ;-)
4:29 Purely our daily meetings.
It's so cool that i dont waste my precious time for this misunderstanding. :)
I just DO my precious work!
Wir sagen Thor wie der Tor oder das Tor. Aber die Amies sagen Thor mit TH wie Thanks und Thursday. Love your content. You stand out on YT. You changed my PPT game with your intro to morphs. Nur zu!
Hi.. do we have any adding which will help to answer the questions on slides... suppose a presenter darts a questions to audience and through mobile, audience can answer them
Thank you for this lovely add ins. However I am unable to find Pro Word Cloud
I searched Word Cloud and it came right up
Do you have some addin for the excel sheet ?
is THOR can do on tables??or just image??
is there a tool, where I can make daily report on PPT and the images just add from the folder with the specific size with one click?
I dont want to copy each image from folder and paste it then change dimension and repeat for the whole presentation
you can find something similar on AUTOMATE PRESENTATION IMAGES BY MARKIDO ENGAGE POWERPOINT"
Does the Menti site have the ability to include the code within the URL? It would be nice to have a QR that links directly to the survey without having to enter a code.
Yes, you can generate a QR code for a menti presentation and include it in your powerpoint slide
Can I add these add-ins in powerpoint web? I dont have Ms office 365 desktop version
đđđđđđđđđđđđ
Nice new hair!
Good Observation. Yes Nice Hairstyle
Thanks! đ
How would you use the timer when you aren't sure when might need it? Taking a break isn't always at a specific slide in a presentation?
Hi, Is there any way to add a list of words in ms word, then, when I type any word of the list ,it turns, for example, to red or any chosen colour, or to be underlined. I dont know if you understand my question! Thanx
Are any of these add-ins available for PowerPoint on the Mac?
Great video! I would recommend using polleverywhere instead of mentimeter. Easier access!
If your company has disabled add-ins can you create the powerpoint with the add-ins on an account that does have access and still be able to use the finished results in a presentation when going back to your company account?
I'm keen to know this as well
That would depend on the add-in. Some (addins that create live content on the fly, for example) will only work if they're installed. Others (addins that speed up production, like THOR) don't need to be installed on other computers when you display the presentation.
Don't know who else to ask but is PowerPoint capable of having a menu on the screen and pick a topic (touch screen or mouse) have it play the video clip and then return to the Main menu screen waiting for someone to make another selection?
Dear Leila TechSmith released new cool features in Camtasia 2022.1 version. Will you prepare video relevant this features?
