Hello. I wonder if you can point me in the right direction. I have made animated diagrams in PowerPoint and have made them into videos. My vision is that the viewer can watch it on their mobile phone and in fact it could be just on their phone as an app without any signal. i.e. like Flight mode. At the moment I am making them in landscape, but I would prefer that they are in portrait view as this is the traditional way that people view these diagrams. I would also have these animated diagrams on my website. I have not figured out how to have a powerpoint presentation on a wordpress site. Is there a way I could email you direct?. Best wishes.

[@radhakrishnathalla6046]

Hey bro! how can I use design ideas in Powerpoint - MS Office 2019? Is that only available on Office 365???

[@Gil_Zeira]

Dude I just love your videos. You make them so direct and straightforward. You go straight to the topic and explains exactly what's needed. thanks.

[@sharmaineq1725]

It's amazing how I thought I was already pretty much familiar with Microsoft apps but prove myself lacking everytime I watch Kevin's videos. But of course, it's only an effective tutorial because his contents are well put together. You are awesome, Kevin. Please keep it up!

[@RotaryTeamVincent]

I agree.

[@thinthinkhaing715]

Thanks very much, got valuable knowledge.

[@TylerStanczak]

Morph hands down has been my favorite feature. It has saved me so much time when trying to create complex animations without adding a bunch of animations. These are awesome tips. Great stuff Kevin! :)

[@TylerStanczak]

Hovindu Watawala j know right. It’s honestly one of my favorite features that PowerPoint decided to include :)

[@ankitghosh160]

I Have to aprecciate you man .... you watch all of his video.... But in which country do you live??

[@TylerStanczak]

Ankit Ghosh I live in the US. Also Kevin’s videos are super helpful so I enjoy watching them :)

[@ankitghosh160]

@@TylerStanczak I Live in India... Yes his videos are very interesting and super helpful!!

[@psyclotronxx3083]

My Version doesn't have it!

[@kellyw.614]

Whenever I have a tech question, I come to your page. Love your clean and concise videos. The timer tip was perfect!

[@Therock18]

Tip based upon my experience: After you preform the advance Morph (changing Large Cirle & Square names to !!Morph), the first transition from small circle to big circle will no longer work. You will need to change the name of the small circle to the same as the big circle i.e. now named '!!Morph'. This should now work again. BTW I really love your videos and have found them excellent, especially as I now work from home due to COVID. Keep up the great work and best of luck in this new venture! Greetings from Ireland :)

[@Denielgunz]

I already learned a lot of these from your past tutorials. You my hero, Kevin! Haha

[@dianecalabrese228]

These tutorials are probably the best I’ve seen on KZbin ….Bravo Kevin !

[@oneskill_ppt]

You are like my friend in my head who is just telling me good information about MS. I’m literally going through your videos like a tv series. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@Kk-vk9ul]

[@rachelm8163]

[@MarvinLikoPuha]

[@arene6586]

[@naveen200848]

This is the best video so far. Realised shift plus shape, merge with fragmentes, ctrl plus drag to copy.snip and share, remove backgroup,crop aspect,

[@Saintly2]

Love that selection pane! Needed to know this today!

[@FrenchAction1]

I did not even know about the possibility of inserting a timer. I did mine from scratch. Very helpful!

[@KevinStratvert]

Inserting a timer is clutch... saves a lot of... time 🤣

[@gregdjohnson100]

Sweet! Short and to the point! Thank you!

[@thecreativelady1908]

Blown away by Morph! I’ve needed a countdown timer for years! I appreciate your tips.

[@dinkleburg7888]

Why doesn't my Ms PowerPoint have the morph? ☹️

[@raghunathansundaresan8017]

Good choices! Many was unknown for me especially perfect shape and that selection pane which will make making slides easier. Thank you! Waiting for more PowerPoint tips.

[@mariagastelum7923]

Thank you Mr. Stratvert and blessings to all!

[@maithalolo]

Thank you Kevin , You’re videos are super helpful .

[@TheSeeking2know]

This is a wealth of information, seemingly little but with some creativity can be used to create awesome PowerPoint presentations!

[@MG-kp8sg]

Thanks Kevin! Awesome choice of good tips! By the way 2 supplements: I love the shortcut ALT +F10 to open and close the selection pane. And for the Eye Dropper you do not need the Snip & Sketch Tool. Just hold down the CTRL key to select colors outside the PowerPoint window.

[@RemotePossibilities1]

Thx for the ALT+F10 one - really handy! (CTRL for the eye dropper doesn't work for me. But you can drag from within the window and release the mouse button anywhere on your screen.)

[@zaharinawi]

This helps me a lot, especially morph. Thank you.

[@Steve-mo4qp]

[@hamzakabir8148]

Thank you Kevin. Your videos are always amazing, clear content and entertaining.

[@julieharlow5207]

So very clear and helpful. Lots that I will use. Interested in more about transitions. I want to have my photos flow from one to the other instead of one stopping and the next one appearing.

[@12boxes]
