PowerPoint can be used to create slideshows that include:

  • Text, images, sound, 3D images and video media
  • Custom animations to make text fade in or out, move or flash
  • Slides which appear automatically, or with the click of the mouse or button
  • A recording of your presentation - create a video with your own narration, with or without your webcam image
