Thanks for the video, its simply great, when use Zoom to record a video there is a lag when I use this Zoom function do you have any suggestion?

[@jackiesimpraga6056]

Hello, I’m wondering if you can help me out, I’m trying to video narrate my slideshow while I have slide zooms in place but it will not let me is there a way to do this?

[@nikifallen93]

Microsoft has finally managed to make me excited to create a presentation. Thanks for showing us all this stuff!

[@glhadbarcenas2193]

i dont have that why??

[@jasonyimc]

Kevin, you saved my life. I am a simpleton who uses English as a second language. Not a great level. So I always had been in a trouble for too difficult or long explanations about tech things. Your explanation is short and effective. And your voice reaches clearly to me. So fantastic and helpful. I will share your video with my friends. Thanks.

[@zimmejoc]

This is like a more restrained version of Prezi. I once made some of the students in my class motion sick once because I got crazy using the various movement transitions in Prezi.

[@TheKarenjh]

Thanks, Kevin. Years of ignoring all the inexplicable icons on the top ribbon of PPt. Who knew?

[@cathrynjenniges1985]

Thank you so much kevin for this tutorial!

[@shahzaib0273]

Wish I could give u more likes!😂 Anyways, I really appreciate your hard work!🥰

[@keepgettingbetter7155]

same.. I wish they had a super like or some other button to show our appreciation

[@francisleong7989]

You are so organized and crystal clear in your explanation. The file you provided helped a lot. Thanks Kevin!!

[@a-wayfarer]

Hi Kevin, what do we need to do to ensure that the slideshow ends after all the zoomed slides have been navigated through using the animation. A challenge is once the last of the zoom animations is complete, and if you were to click the next slide in the sequence in one of the sections created below would display, instead of the powerpoint just ending. The other way out is that when the last of the animations completes, hit escape. But that leads to ending by showing the powerpoint in the normal mode to the audience.

[@suzannedeb181]

.....in my zoom just above the link as you have shown i do not have a "section"...shall i make my slides in sections first?...i am due to present next week and i would want to present a dynamic one. i even subscribed to 365 for grad school...you are very talented

[@crystalmoyer3556]

Hi Keven, thank you for putting this together, this video has been very helpful for my newest overhaul to my Powerpoint presentation. However, please consider adding more pauses between sentences and especially when transitioning between new areas of content. This is a lot of information and without pause or change in inflection makes it really hard to digest.

[@KevinStratvert]

Thanks for the feedback! Will incorporate into future videos.

[@graceyim2941]

I need to watch it again at least for 100 times before I get it. But it's wonderful. Thanks Kevin.😄

[@felicitymoreki2930]

Hi Kervin, You are the best Lecturer of Mine , My Work Looks Great

[@tuulistewart5875]

Thanks Kevin, I forgot about the tool - now happily back :)

[@wcarlosw]

I love how he starts every video. 💞💓💕

[@lyrical9582]

Me too. Such a positive guy 😊

[@neressaleones8670]

Hello, Kevin. I'm on my journey of making my presentation now for our class observation. And your video is really of great help. But one thing that made me stop on working because I couldn't find the "Slide Zoom" option in the task bar. I'm still using windows 7. Could you please help me with this matter? Your response is highly appreciated. Thank You!

[@MissionComputers]

Great step by step tutorial video. Love the dynamic presentations with Zoom! Thanks.

[@Experterrors]

I’ve watched many videos to decode the features of Microsoft Office, but these are the most helpful by far to me as a practical user. So, Kevin, how can we help to support your channel now that you’re not with Microsoft?

[@brianspiller9075]

Add a subscription to Leila Gharani. She did the Zoom demonstration a while back.

[@keepgettingbetter7155]

You are my genie, Kevin :-) Can't thank you enough for this...

[@ahmedadelmansouribrahem489]

the button zoom is not activated in my powerpoint i have 365 pro plus it appears Gray please help me !

[@TylerStanczak]

Yessss! Hahaha first comment. Nice tutorial on Zoom Kevin. Well almost first. I just refreshed my screen and realized I wasn’t first :)

[@DrCropperVO2023]

Kevin, your videos are very informative and well structured. I do wish you would slow down a bit and add some inflection and spacing to your narrations. I slow you down to 0.75, which makes it a little easier to follow, but the lack of inflection and spacing between sentences makes it difficult to stay awake. Do keep up the good work. Thank you, Jim

[@ellendoulacare]

Love it!! Was looking for old Prezi but this is much better!

[@mikebryans1090]

Hi Kevin, Could you do a full on tutorial on OneNote? I know you have done a beginners guide, but I would like to know everything it has to offer, like the webclipper etc. Try and convince me to use OneNote than Evernote as my main note taker. Too many times I see a small warning triangle next to the notebook witch puts me off using it

[@abhijitb2093]

Thanks 😊

[@frayue]

Another trick of the trade. Thanks 👍

[@Jerrydo_7]

This is absolute GOLD... Great job on the Power point

[@pinakiroychowdhury4026]

[@martingregson7136]

This must be a record for making something more complicated than it needs to be!!!!!

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Good Morning, Kevin! Thank you for being my morning wake-up! We are going to be using Zoom meeting for our students so we can interface with them in a visual/auditory way. We teach inter-personal habits for communication. Interaction will be an important part. Chat will be useful. Have I missed one of your presentations where you discuss using chatroom, raising hands, and sending downloads to Zoom meetings from participants? Thank you for all that you do for us. And YES! I do like hearing you before 0700. Again, thank you. GA

[@ejohonsonar3237]

Thank you for sharing this easy to follow tutorial!

[@mmitchellhouston]

That was a VERY good video. Thank you for being methodical and well organized.

[@budstephens4256]

Great presentation...I continually use it to refresh my memory on how to use PowerPoint zoom...

[@EdsonNascimentoEN]

Lovely and smart presentation - thanks Kevin

[@felicitymoreki2930]

Wow Kervin that was the best Lecturer Ever

[@keiralim9204]

Could you please do tutorial on creating poll questions on Zoom? Thank you in advance.

[@mathandtharka7362]

Beautiful explanation of the amazing unknown utilities of power Point! Thanks

[@billj8968]

Wow - I've been using PPT for a while and have never tried this - it is really a great feature. Thanks for explaining this! It is a good way to do things if you are not a huge fan of Prezi (I am not one). Thanks so much!! Yet another great presentation - if you can talk about some plug-ins for Powerpoint that you find useful that would be great (i.e. I like Polleverywhere for my students)...but others? Or integrating other programs in to PPT? Thanks so much Kevin! And don't forget - Toronto likes cookies too

[@LicMairi]

Hi Kevin. How are you. I would like to ask you if is there an official Microsoft app to conect a tablet to a PC, to use it as a second monitor. I would like to use the tablet merged with the PC for online teaching (for example, to draw something in the tablet while teaching in zoom, and to be able to share the tablet screen via zoom in the PC, but then to be able to go back to the PC and share a powepoint, while in zoom lessons). I've seen different apps but I would like some app I can trust (or some insight in how to do it at all in a way that wont mess with my computer). We are still in lockdown and starting the second semester of academic teaching online. Its been very rough... students need more of us, in order to fully understand the topics. I'd like to improve as an online teacher :) Very gratefull for all of your help. Have a nice week!

[@abdulsalamalsayad9184]

10 thumbs up, great thanks

[@jyotheeshadusupali3109]

Can you make a video on haw to play with images in MS word with all the options we have

[@B-RaD5oh5]

Love these tips and tricks videos. Maybe you can make one that helps mimic a prezi presentation in powerpoint? I assume it'd be similar to this but with additional zooms? Thanks!

[@Laazulitalinda]

Thank you! very helpful

[@DannixX1000]

Hey! I recently used the slide zoom feature to create a nice pitch video for one of my uni-courses, however i encountered a problem. Is it actually possible to have the slides in the "zoom" slide not represented as pictures, but as live updated versions of the specific slides? In my case, i was trying to build something like a "whiteboard" video, where you start with a blank page and then step by step, it would be filled with stuff and in the end, i would have wanted to be able to zoom out to see the whole whiteboard in its full glory. But it didnt really work that way, because in the "zoom" slide, the slides are represented as static pictures. So basically, can you make slide zoom "understand" animations of slides?

[@lionelschotter4914]

This sounds like a potential feature update request that would be of great value to everyone. Maybe you want to raise a request with Microsoft using the Help menu in Powerpoint and the feedback option. I would vote for that!

[@upgraduate]

Very creative and useful....

[@kexmusic1027]

Thanks Kevin!

[@MeiHarYee]

Really great! Good sharing.👍👍

[@DavidCosta-fi9zw]

Hi! Do you know how to create an animation that would execute after the zoom out, when it comes back to the slide? Because zoom doesn't appear in the animation panel... Thank you!

[@joseluisbeltramone599]

Bravo, Kevin! Very cool explanation. Thank you very much!

[@avdheshthakur977]

Thank you Kevin! Great tutorial.

[@aimenglishcourse]

Great work I'm gonna make use of this trick in my coming videos thanks a lot kevin

[@fatmaabouowaf]

you are amazing I learned a lot from you Thank you so much

[@carianndunn1]

Thanks for the video - it was helpful! I ran into a bit of an issue though when I went to record my presentation - and none of my zoom functions worked in the record mode. Is there a work around for this? Screen recording? Doesn't seem to be very edit friendly though.

[@atulsalgaonkar6222]

Hi Kevin, This is superb and very helpful. Does the use of S* Zooms increase the file size of the pptx?

[@dorrabakhit8159]

Thank u.. very informative. In case i wanted the zoom slide to open automatically, how can i rearrange which slide zooms first .. especially when the slide that has the " zoom slide in it" also have other text. I want text then zoom slide then text again.

[@diannedrechsler4792]

Thanks Kevin, I'm trying to use the zoom function for presenting financial information. It would be great to see more on zoom and morph.

[@IlkayIsik]

Thanks a lot for this super useful and easy to follow tutorial

[@AreebTheComsain]

Just added this in my investment pitch deck. Hopefully it will have a positive impact. :-P

[@hubertknapp5098]

Absolutely awsome! Thank you Kevin

[@steevheart7821]

this is amazing. thank you. except it doesnt really look like Prezi (the camera zooms into the bubble or box) it looked like a transition. i was almost to do them on Suzi, but sadly you cant add videos into Suzi. so i have to stay with powerpoint

[@aldrin00016]

I DONT HAVE THE ZOOM FEATURE HOW DI I GET IT?

[@neltondsouza6334]

This is very helpful Kevin. 1 question - Does this Zoom navigation work in Presenter View? If yes, how?

[@KlausL1981]

As a content suggestion, would you consider making videos on how to use O365 tools from an iPad? Can’t really find content like that anywhere and believe me, the demand is huge with the whole micro productivity thing going on. Most iPad videos for replacing your ”computer” are referring to replacing Mac but there is a whole field of BYOD and using iPad in the corporate world as well where people are used to work with Windows devices.

[@kingparc]

Great, thank you very much Kevin

[@CA-wi6zn]

So cool! Thank you Kevin

[@sockies1]

Fantastic!! Quick question... Does Zoom effect accessibility?

[@halimaessadiasahraoui809]

thank's a lot, it as very help full for me i like it

[@mariuszsliwka]

Hi Kevin, I've received Office 365 just recently that's my question is a bit late to your tutorial publication, but hope it's not too late. Is it possible to do zoom, I think it's rather "s;ide zoom" part, like a focus on certain message and then focus again like in a part of the word that's been focused previously there's again emphasis on the point. Example - there's message: "Be smart while on water". And next slide is zoom to "inside of letter a in the message" and there's another message - " dont jump to unknown water". Generally - no to use slides but rather areas of a slide, or use slides in a way that no-one notices, in this case.

[@someshkumar5770]

Loved it brother

Good One - Thanks

[@HotPretzel12]

Awesome lesson! Thank you!

[@angelosebaaly6550]

Hey! Great video! Do you know if there is a way to use the zoom feature in such a way that you zoom out to your next slide? Like a reverse zoom to your next slide. Thanks!

[@nelsonlobo3615]

Great. Thanks

Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@KevinStratvert]

You bet!

[@abdulrhmanahmed6190]

[@NirShiloni]

Great! Thanks

[@keizyshiro]

Awesome video Kevin! Do you know any work around on using portrait and landscape in on power point file without using Hyperlinks?

[@ugunn01]

[@menc-menfjaimejimenez3686]

Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the hints. I can not see ZOOM under Links. It shows the other two icons - Link and Actions. Can you give me an idea what is happeneing? Than you.

[@Jess_Bishop]

Kevin; how can I use the Zoom feature but instead of linking it to one of my slides, linking it to a video. I want to be able to zoom in and start playing a video, and I don’t have this video in any of my other slides because this presentation will be saved in video format, so I don’t want the viewer to watch that same video twice. Is there any way/ feature I can accomplish that?

[@mtomazza]

Always a great video

[@edsarianecupin4806]

will the zoom works if you are using a laser pointer?

[@shonellamorgan3860]

Hi Kevin, thanks for sharing. Can this be done with a website? I Have a school project and want to use PPT but I do not know how to turn PPT into a website. I prefer to use PPT than a website builder. Let me know what you think please. Thanks in advance.

[@lionelschotter4914]

Very useful, but how do I order 6 cases of choc-chip?

[@celestedavid7364]

Why I cannot find this zoom icon on my insert tab? It should be beside link and action right?

[@helenespliid1734]

How does this work when showing on a projector and you do not use the keyboard/ mouse til choose the next slide...?

[@sunflower2036]

How can u slow down slide zoom so that i can read the full slide before it zooms to another?

[@medhakulkarni654]

Hello, is there anyway by which this zoom feature can be utilise in making videos ie while recording..or it can be only use for presentation purpose?
