Turn a crowded slide into one your audience can click through
Anyone you share the deck with can click through the slide too, even without a Copilot license.
Published . Steps as of October 2026.
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.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
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.
In PowerPoint, pick Interactive Slide and describe a timeline, process or comparison. Copilot builds one slide your audience can explore step by step while you present.
