Broadcast your PowerPoint presentation online to a remote audience

PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 PowerPoint 2019 PowerPoint 2016 PowerPoint 2013 PowerPoint 2010

Using PowerPoint for Windows you can broadcast your PowerPoint presentation over the Internet to a remote audience. While you present the slide show inside PowerPoint, your audience members follow along in their web browsers.

Depending on which version of PowerPoint you're using, select either Newer versions or 2010 below to see the right instructions.

Tip: If you're using a Mac consider sharing your presentation using Microsoft Teams. See Tip: Show PowerPoint slides in a meeting for more information.

Newer versions Office 2010

In PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions, you may deliver your presentation from PowerPoint by using the Office Presentation Service, a free, public service that allows others to follow along in their web browser. No setup is required. Use your free Microsoft account to get started.

In PowerPoint, close any open presentations that you don’t want to share.

Present online

Click Slide Show > Present Online > Office Presentation Service.
Select the Enable remote viewers to download the presentation check box if you want to allow your audience to download a copy of the presentation file.
Click Connect.
To send your meeting invitation to attendees, choose one of the following:
- Copy Link (so that you can paste it somewhere that other people can access it)
- Send in email
  Important: You won’t be able to email your presentation directly from PowerPoint on a Windows RT PC. Instead you can open an email program, create your email, and attach the presentation to it.
When you are ready to start your presentation, click Start Presentation.
To end your online presentation, press Esc to get out of Slide Show View, and then on the Present Online tab, click End Online Presentation.
To confirm that you want to end the presentation, click End Online Presentation.
