It is a part of the Microsoft Office suite and Windows 365 subscription package that is available for both Windows and Mac users.

The app features a wide array of advanced features for streamlined and easy crafting of stylish and eye-catching presentations, including a large offering of pre-made professional templates, embeddable multimedia elements, animated transitions, Presenter View for adaptation for various projection set-ups, streamlined streaming options for video conferencing, separate notes screen for presenter, and even interactive presentations that can be shared with other users online.

The history of PowerPoint started in distant 1987 as a standalone application for Macintosh computers. It was immediately purchased by Microsoft, who included it in the Office suite and started developing it into the industry-leading presentation program that we know today.

In 1994 the app started integrating with other Office apps, and by the end of the decade, it represented around 95 percent of the market for presentation apps.

Since that time this software evolved to include many workflow optimization features, including full access to cloud-powered web applications available for all active Windows 365 account holders.

Today, the latest version of this app (v17) is regarded as one of the best presentation apps available on the market, with a goal of dramatic expansion of its capabilities with the imminent arrival of powerful generative AI tools that can automatically create stylish presentations using data provided by Excel, Word, and other Office suite apps.
