## Can PowerPoint make a slide my audience can click through?

Yes. Select Interactive Slide in PowerPoint and describe what the slide should show, and Copilot builds it. As of October 2026, it needs Copilot in PowerPoint with a Microsoft 365 plan, on Windows, Mac or the web. Use it for a timeline, a process or a comparison you'd normally cram onto one slide. If you'll share a PDF or someone views it on a phone, it shows as a still image instead.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Create an interactive slide to replace my busiest slide. It's about [WHAT THE SLIDE SHOWS, e.g. my 4-step client onboarding]. The audience is [WHO'S WATCHING, e.g. small business owners at a workshop]. Show the big picture first, then let me click each [STEP OR OPTION, e.g. step] to reveal two or three short points and one real example. Use these details: [MY CONTENT, e.g. the bullets from my old slide]. Keep the words large and few, so it reads from the back of the room, and match the colors to my theme. End with one clear takeaway the audience will remember.
```

## Step by step

1. Open your deck in PowerPoint on Windows, Mac or the web
2. Select Interactive Slide on the Home or Insert ribbon
3. Paste the prompt in the Copilot pane and fill in your content
4. Ask for changes in the pane, like "make this a bar chart"
5. Present the deck and click through each step live

## What you'll get

One interactive slide that starts with the big picture and opens each step or option when you click it during your talk.
