Leila, you are one of the best presenters I have seen. Your presentations are concise and to the point. They are informative and entertaining so that they hold my attention. The way you present yourself is dynamic! You look right into the camera as if you were talking directly to me which makes it very engaging, your voice isn't monotone and you have clear diction with just the right amount of intonation. You are always dressed professionally and your set is simple yet to the point. Simply put "less is more". You are a class act and I really learn a lot and enjoy your presentations. Thank you for providing these tutorials.

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@tade6071]

You are a blessing to humanity! Thank you for all you do.

[@suhailzb]

Leila .. the info you provide is of high value ... I have been a Microsoft Certified Specialist of PowerPoint since 2001 and train Medics being one of them for over 20 years. I highly regard your contribution to the PowerPoint Knowledge and Creativity world.

[@secondarysuccess9326]

As a teacher, these tips are great for improving the effectiveness of the PPTs I use with my students- thanks!

[@nightshift3720]

The key thing about the information you provide is the presentation style you have, it is excellent.

[@awilliams2792]

I just recently found your channel , I am going back and watching all your videos. I love how you inform us of updates, techniques and ideas in an easy way.

[@LeilaGharani]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@bjornleenen9766]

You will find a wealth of information in the channel.

[@robertlewisjr5021]

THANK YOU. I teach 5th grade and I used the word cloud add in for comments left on a parking lot at the end of the first week of school. The kids loved seeing their ideas represented.

[@gilberttan8523]

There is another add in worth to consider, Slido. I used it to interact with the attendees without the need to exit from your presentation slides.

[@florisvanderleest7798]

Slido is an alternative to Mentimeter. Both have limited options without subscribing. Simply choose which one’s lay-outs appeals most to you

[@Dexcelo]

These will improve my upcoming presentations for sure, Thank you Leila.

[@Infographicsproject]

It will really help in the work. Thank you

[@spyx5]

Please recommend more addons! Thanks for this!

[@LeilaGharani]

Will do!

[@philipaw1008]

Absolutely love it. Didn’t know there are such time saving add ones! Thanks

[@HercNav]

THOR is excellent! Thanks for the tip!

[@steverindsberg5693]

Thanks for featuring THOR, Leila, and for doing such a great job of it. I wrote it, I've thought about doing my own video to describe it, but why bother? I'll just send people here instead. Brilliant!

[@hardikraja4812]

Does it work in office 365?

[@stjulian25]

I appreciate your teachings so much, and I really enjoy the nasal quality of your voice.

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Thank you Leila for this add-in tutorial! Pro Word Cloud and Thor Hammer are super cool! 🙂

[@chh8860]

The reason I visit Leila's office every Thursday morning ... is to sample a candy-dish of ideas ... 🍬🍭🍭🍬🍬🍭🍭 ... and this morning was another 'treat'. Thank you ... thank you ... thank you .... 😍

[@LeilaGharani]

You're always welcome in my little office 😊 Thanks for stopping by!

[@ubuntugeek]

Pro word cloud is a game changer for me.. thank you

[@alexdemoura9972]

... and do not forget to Export your customizations in toolbar or any other customizable feature built-in MS Office: File >> Options >> Quick Access Toolbar in (bottom right) Customization: >> [ Import/Export ] and save your customizations to carry with you to be imported to an Office app and keep your productivity in your Customer environment as an example. In my case: I consider Excel formulas as a code and I use glasses, so I usually change the Excel Formula area font to a monospaced (fixed-width) font a bit larger than the default one. Since I put my hands on one of the firsts Radio Shack TRS-80 (8-bit Z80 16KB monochromatic) of the country I fell in love by the (slashed-0) terminal fonts... and as a left-handed I abandoned my cursive handwriting to a capital letter handwriting many years ago... with a slashed-0 - my choice is Consolas 11. To change the font of Excel Formula area: File >> Options >> General in (the second field) "When creating new workbooks:" Use this as the default font: [ and chose the font you like ] it doesn't affect the document (spreadsheet) area, just the Formula area. This week I started to UXing my Excel following the W3C recommendations and AWS techniques (not the Amazon one, but initials of Ophthalmology Researchers) to improve productivity and keep my eyes safe, such as change cell colors to a (Windows Tan, light-grey greenish) (Paper) White and font colors to (Windows Dark Grey) (Ink) Black, and changed the font to Verdana 11. I already UXing my Notepad++ Light Mode to the same foreground/background colors and Consolas 11. I am still working on it but I will save as Book Template according to one of Leila Gharani's video about templates. Many thanks to Leila... I just subscribed to her channel minutes ago.

[@puseletsomaraba1313]

Thank you , I needed this tools for doing my workshop's stakeholders feedback elicitation. And creating system screen crop's.

[@LeandroMartinezLFM]

Leila, I usually break my decks into sections and each slide inside that section has a title with the section name on it. Is there to make the title update automatically according to the section name or something similar instead of having to go one by one?

[@mohamedmeshref]

Great. You are the greatest on KZbin! My question: For the break timer; how I can make a ring after the counter get to 00:00?

[@GerhardHolzer911]

Thx for the mentimeter add-in - using mentimeter for years but did never realize this add-in, which is really a great support in showing the live-results from the queries…

[@LeilaGharani]

Happy to help, Gerhard :)

Mentimeter in PowerPoint is really nice for a seemless experience. This will surely set my presentations apart from the others who fumble around with switching to the browsers. Thank you so much :)

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@loayjawabreh4850]

Many thanks Leila!! very useful

[@iconicacademy]

Absolutely Love it, Cool Add-ins

[@junioroleary5678]

Thank you for the add-in tutorial, I am always learning new ways to use Excel from your video's #1 place for me to go when I need to do something in excel. I have a question, is there a way to import a custom icon instead of having to pick from the defaults? An example would be to use a mechanic icon, or driver icon for the graph.

[@JamesHoyland]

Oh man the Thor one is going to be a life saver for me - I do that all the time! Subscribed and followed for that alone :) Thanks!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks for the sub!

[@nohoracastro5429]

Thanks Leila, your are a life saver. I have learnt so much with your videos thanks a million for sharing your expertise. I'm not able to do this though, I imagine I need an specific version of PP? If so, which one?

[@enriquefernandezaraujo3943]

Excelent video, thank you for sharing your tips

[@trongtuyenvnbt]

[@neampdeak]

good your video thank you for sharing

[@luizvagnersampaio6684]

Amazing...

[@venelinyordanov1707]

Another amazing and useful video! Thank you!

[@Sal_A]

Hi Leila - old fan of your channel. Can you please do a video on how to update Excel with Planner automatically. So if any buckets/task fields from Planner gets updated/added/removed then it is reflected in Excel automatically. Not sure if it works with Power Query, if not then with Power Automate. Thanks in advance.

[@letsdoit5070]

Amazing presentation style! Love it!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tim2154]

similar to Menti, Kahoot is great ice breaker or mental break for participants. :)

[@ericowen56]

I enjoyed your video

[@McIlravyInc]

I love the word cloud. It inspired me to wonder if there is a way to make a word cloud from a column on a SharePoint list and display it dynamically on a SharePoint page?

[@cshahed]

Leila, these are really great add-ins. I am facing one problem, when I add a slide from Mentimeter, I can't see it in my PPT in presentation mode ☹. Any suggestions, I followed the steps you showed several times, with no luck. Appreciate your help.

[@rushalmshah]

Very useful. Thank you

[@SyedMuzammilMahasanShahi]

Thanks for this amazing vidoe.

[@DanielAstro97]

Helpfull video thank you

[@keithwood6811]

Thanks for the informative video! I searched for "pro word cloud" in add-ins (Mac) but the one you reference in this video doesn't appear. Is this add-in a PC-specific add-in?

[@unnikrishnansanthosh]

cool one, thank you for sharing

[@Rice0987]

4:29 Purely our daily meetings. It's so cool that i dont waste my precious time for this misunderstanding. :) I just DO my precious work!

[@tuulistewart5875]

[@LeilaGharani]

We use and recommend Camtasia. Get 10% OFF (affiliate link): techsmith.z6rjha.net/c/1252781/1154424/5161

[@h.l6849]

Love it!

[@mandarbivalkar1]

Hi.. do we have any adding which will help to answer the questions on slides... suppose a presenter darts a questions to audience and through mobile, audience can answer them

[@jakobjorgensen7773]

Awsome, thanks

[@TREGRN]

How would you use the timer when you aren't sure when might need it? Taking a break isn't always at a specific slide in a presentation?

[@alonzosmith6189]

Cool, thanks for sharing 👍

[@LeilaGharani]

It's my pleasure, Alonzo.

[@cward2986]

Are any of these add-ins available for PowerPoint on the Mac?

[@userunknozn]

I like the THOR tool! Thanks for these tips :) Could they be created with VBA by the way?

[@steverindsberg5693]

Some of the add-ins Leila (BRILLIANTLY!) features can't be created in VBA (the ones from the Microsoft store). Others (THOR, for example) can definitely be created in VBA. THOR was for sure. I wrote it. ;-)

[@jajwarehouse1]

Does the Menti site have the ability to include the code within the URL? It would be nice to have a QR that links directly to the survey without having to enter a code.

[@annan9752]

Yes, you can generate a QR code for a menti presentation and include it in your powerpoint slide

[@markshaw8150]

Wir sagen Thor wie der Tor oder das Tor. Aber die Amies sagen Thor mit TH wie Thanks und Thursday. Love your content. You stand out on YT. You changed my PPT game with your intro to morphs. Nur zu!

[@majdyazigi8185]

Thanks Leila, do you have any PowerPoint add in that creates an animated running number For example I set the start number and the end number then I can generate an animation for it according to some defined templates. It is really a need to have one, thank you again!

[@petermanoj9048]

Do you have some addin for the excel sheet ?

[@vidyanand99]

Thank you for this lovely add ins. However I am unable to find Pro Word Cloud

[@tthomasokc]

I searched Word Cloud and it came right up

[@HoundDogMech]

Don't know who else to ask but is PowerPoint capable of having a menu on the screen and pick a topic (touch screen or mouse) have it play the video clip and then return to the Main menu screen waiting for someone to make another selection?

[@SamirHabib]

Dear Leila TechSmith released new cool features in Camtasia 2022.1 version. Will you prepare video relevant this features?

[@LeilaGharani]

Sure did 😊: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXSaipaborJ3qdk

[@SamirHabib]

@@LeilaGharani No, I mean Camtasia 2022.1 version - There are 3 new features - Reverse video, freeze part of screen and new blur effect. It was released just yesterday

[@tumse2000]

is there a tool, where I can make daily report on PPT and the images just add from the folder with the specific size with one click? I dont want to copy each image from folder and paste it then change dimension and repeat for the whole presentation

[@tumse2000]

you can find something similar on AUTOMATE PRESENTATION IMAGES BY MARKIDO ENGAGE POWERPOINT"

[@maryrosemorales6757]

Can I use this offline?

[@helmyherdian7268]

is THOR can do on tables??or just image??

[@eugenek777]

wooooooooooooooooooow!!!!!

[@Proud-to-be-Muslim-1445]

Hi, Is there any way to add a list of words in ms word, then, when I type any word of the list ,it turns, for example, to red or any chosen colour, or to be underlined. I dont know if you understand my question! Thanx

[@robertdseals1]

I've made a word cloud but then I got to thinking (dangerous). I see words like "Training" or "Company" that stick out, but I have no way if it means "not enough training" or "excellent training". Is there a way to use context to create a better visual?

[@tanusreepal9294]

Can I add these add-ins in powerpoint web? I dont have Ms office 365 desktop version
