In this video you’ll learn the top 5 best add-ins for Microsoft PowerPoint any professional should have. Create word cloud images from text for free in PowerPoint, insert QR codes with a free addin. An icebreaker for any presentation is the Mentimeter addin for PowerPoint. I’ll show you how to easily integrate Mentimenter with your PowerPoint presentation. You’ll also learn how to add a count down timer or a break timer so everyone knows when to get back, and a hammer to memorize the size and position of any shape on a PowerPoint slide. This way you can use the same size and shape setting of one image on other slides as well.
I also added a bonus tip to speed up the use of PowerPoint add-ins in your daily work.

#powerpoint
thanks a lot for these tips, however, I can't open MS Store,
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?
Sadly but my organization simply doesn't allow us to use add-ins in any of the Office 365 products. Security concerns is always the reason stated for this.
Amazing presentation style! Love it!
I enjoyed your video
similar to Menti, Kahoot is great ice breaker or mental break for participants. 🙂
I like the THOR tool! Thanks for these tips 🙂 Could they be created with VBA by the way?
why your thumbnails look like you will be presenting a video of PowerPoint for adults only
Do you have some addin for the excel sheet ?
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?
Thanks for these excellent add-ins.
Hi Leila, Is Thor and Pro Word Cloud only available on the windows version of PowerPoint? Is there any you could recommend for Mac or Web? Love the videos,.
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?
Thank you , I needed this tools for doing my workshop's stakeholders feedback elicitation. And creating system screen crop's.
The best add-ins collection from academic perspective.
i love u
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!
Many thanks Leila!! very useful
Hot Tip: Don't use too many Mentimeter slides. The add-in/link/system/whatever you want to call it can really only manage 3-5 Menitmeter slides in a PPT presentation. Any more than that and it won't work smoothly.
Thanks alot.
