PowerPoint Copilot Tutorial: How Microsoft’s New AI Changes Everything

About this video

Presenter Elizabeth shows three ways to create a presentation with Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint. First, generating from scratch: from ‘create with Copilot’ on opening PowerPoint or the Copilot prompt in a blank deck, she prompts for a solar system deck and Copilot produces an outline that becomes 22 slides — title, agenda, interactive content sections, activities and a game, fun facts, and a conclusion. She stresses the output is a ready framework that will likely need significant edits. In the Copilot pane she asks for more on Saturn, getting extra information drawn partly from the deck and partly from the web with cited sources and follow-up prompts, and uses auto rewrite to reword slide text with keep, regenerate, or revert options, plus Design suggestions and background changes applied to single slides or the whole deck. Second, generating from an existing document uploaded to the cloud account — her PDF on accelerating home electrification adoption becomes 36 slides, pulling relevant content and cited sources from the document and creating presentation notes. Third, using a design template, including organization-branded templates uploaded by an admin or pre-existing Microsoft 365 templates, for a cybersecurity best practices training deck. She also demonstrates condensing wordy slides, visualizing text as a list, summarizing an entire received deck with sources, and generating professional speaker notes for each slide. She closes noting every Copilot request uses monthly AI credits: Microsoft 365 personal or family includes 60 credits per month, with Copilot Pro as an option to avoid worrying about limits.

Key takeaways

• Generate from a prompt: Copilot first returns an outline, then builds slides — in the example, 22 slides — but expect to make significant edits before sharing
• Generate from an uploaded cloud document: Copilot extracts relevant content and sources and adds speaker notes — the electrification PDF became 36 slides
• Generate with a template: use your organization’s branded template if available, or a Microsoft 365 template, and Copilot formats the new deck to it
• Use Copilot to edit and understand decks: auto rewrite, condense, turn text into a list, summarize a whole presentation, and generate speaker notes
• Budget AI credits: Microsoft 365 personal/family includes 60 credits per month, and each Copilot request draws from that allocation
