What PowerPoint does
PowerPoint allows users to create slide-based presentations with text, images, charts, and multimedia. Recent versions incorporate AI-powered features like Designer, which suggests design layouts, Presenter Coach, providing feedback on delivery, Cameo for recording short video clips, and Copilot to assist with content creation and summarisation. Live presentations offer interactive features for audience engagement, including Q&A and polling.
PowerPoint in Australian tenants today
AU mid-market organisations frequently face challenges with PowerPoint. Brand consistency is often compromised by users creating decks outside of approved templates, leading to a lack of uniformity. The ease of sharing presentations increases the risk of sensitive data leakage, potentially triggering obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme and relevant sections of the Privacy Act 2024. Integration with Microsoft Stream is common for recording and sharing presentations, but requires careful consideration of access controls and retention policies to align with APRA CPS 234 and CPS 230 requirements.
