Use PowerPoint Web App in a SharePoint library

With PowerPoint Web App, you can review your team’s slides or step through a presentation in your web browser, without waiting for PowerPoint to open the presentation on your computer.

1. Go to a document library on your SharePoint site, and then click the link associated with the PowerPoint presentation.
2. Click the arrow buttons at the bottom of the display to step through the slides, or click Start Slide Show to play the slide show in full-screen view.

Quickly add some slides

If your colleague wants you to add a few slides to the team presentation, you can quickly do that in your browser.

1. Go to a document library on your SharePoint site, and then click the link associated with the PowerPoint presentation.
2. Click Edit in Browser.
3. Click New Slide.

If you want to make changes to the presentation beyond what you can do in the browser, do this:

1. On the Home tab click Open in PowerPoint.
2. In PowerPoint, save the presentation. It is saved back on the SharePoint site.

Print from the browser

To print the slides, click the File tab, and then click Print.

Note: A PDF viewer is required for printing in PowerPoint Web App.
