PowerPoint for Mac: Create a presentation with Copilot directly from PowerPoint Home

Introduction

We’re improving how users get started with Copilot in PowerPoint for Windows by enabling presentation creation powered by Copilot directly from PowerPoint Home in the File menu. This update reduces friction at the start of the workflow, helping users move from idea to first draft faster without needing to open a new file.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 560536.
