This feature enhances the PowerPoint Live meeting experience by using Copilot to let attendees select slide text and get explanations for the content.

Roadmap ID:557256

Details:

What changed: Attendees in PowerPoint Live meetings can now select text on slides and ask Copilot for explanations, unlike before when slide content was static and non-interactive. This feature works within Microsoft 365 PowerPoint Live sessions and maintains data security by processing content within the meeting environment.

Why: This change improves meeting engagement and comprehension by enabling attendees to interact directly with slide content and get immediate clarifications without leaving the presentation.

Try this:

1. Join a PowerPoint Live meeting as an attendee.
2. Select any text on a slide.
3. Copilot explains it for you in the side pane.

Why this matters: Attendees gain better understanding of slide content, which supports clearer communication and more effective meetings.

Business impact: Teams can collaborate more effectively during presentations by reducing misunderstandings and the need for follow-up questions.

Personal impact: You can quickly clarify complex slide content during meetings, saving time and improving focus.
