Check out Tara Brown's channel here (she took the photos of me that I used in this Sway): / @tarabrownphotography
As full disclosure, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee.
I was an early adopter of Sway. Most of them were travelogues to send to the kids (who lived in 4 different cities) when my wife & I traveled. It was a fun way to share the trip with them. I haven’t used it in quite a while. I like the “new” Sway. Looking forward to starting again. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
"There is no better topic to talk about than myself" - truer words were never spoken!
Hey, Kevin. I would like to give suggestion. In your videos which shows how to make something, like in sway, using stock photos or so, which are more on the "creative products" side, I suggest actually showing the final product first. this way, the audience, more especially those who are still not yet familiar with the app environtment may imagine the purpose first, then the process later. I take this inspiration from LogosbyNick youtube channel. He usually shows a complete product first, then shows a step-by-step tutrorial from scratch. that way, the audience will build a more deductive mindset. This is a suggestion, so I hope it helps.
still don't understand the purpose of this. is this something that can be published to a webpage? or is it for presentations?
@@Greatness.Gaming lol same
That is a good way to teach how to use an app 👍🏿
This is a huge help for me, I'm a Grade 11 student and our teacher gave us a Post-Task where we have to make an E-Portfolio using Microsoft Sway. But since I don't know how to use this, I searched UA-cam and I am happy that I did because I was able to learn how to use it from you thanks a Lot!! You just got a new subscriber hehe.
It does not matter what is the content! as soon as I hear "hi everyone..." I like the video.
I found Sway in my Office inventory but had no idea what it was. Thanks dude :)
Nice video, this is the first time I am hearing about Microsoft sway, and I now know how to use it.
Thanks for the note Mike! Always appreciate your comments :)
True
Yes
True
Now I know how use this but what is it used for ?
Please demonstrate what this app does at the very beginning befor get into the tutorial
I second that 👍
Well, the entire video is a demonstration of what the app does. However, if you mean explain the purpose and common use cases up-front before diving in, then I agree.
Ya
Omar Elmasry I third that.
@@MikeG1111_ The idea is, a quick snapshot of what the output looks like so we can know if it's useful without wasting 15min of a persons' time.
Thank you!! This video has erased all my fears with using SWAY in my classroom or when sharing with my colleagues.
I always use it for my school presentations and everybody loves them
I have used Sway for job applications. something like a turbo charged CV :) Besides looking fantastic on any device with very little effort from my side, the in-built Analytics is my favorite Info :) By copying a new version for each job I am applying for, I can see how often the respective Sway was opened and how thoroughly it was read. I am sick of sending my applications and then wait forever for a response, which very often does not even arrive. The Analytics info shows me at least whether my material is read or not. Big Thumbs Up for Sway :)
This is how Microsoft should advertise their apps, they have a slew of apps and some i don't even know they exist.
They have some sleeping giants in there too!
@@deanlofts875 What else can you recommend?
@@DiegoTheWolf I haven't used anything for long enough to explicitly recommend anything in particular but I tend to open and app and click through every single possible area to figure out what it does. Microsoft Teams is a gateway to all of the cool stuff I found.
Promoting an application with a 20 minute tutorial?! Do you realize that most humans have next to no attention span (see TikTok, etc)? The most you could hope for is a 2 minute advertisement with lots of explosions and Bwah sounds that explains Sway in a fun and cool way
@@lawjef This is no tik-tok, don't do that comparison cuz its pointless and this is no ad, this is a how to guide so only the people who wants to actually use it can watch
You neglected to mention a couple of features:
1. You can drag and drop a PowerPoint or pdf and it will import the content.. which you can even edit their inner content on the design tab.
2. You can export to pdf or word.
The above is very handy for student portfolios, whereby they have already generated a ton of work on various media and need to collate their work.
He mentioned that RIGHT in the first few sentences though...
I have had office 365 for years and did not know about this app. I'm a real estate agent and can't wait to starting using this to create newsletters and more. Thanks
Kevin, your channel is single-handedly turned me into a Microsoft expert and I wish I knew how to thank you!!
Amazing! I never heard about Sway till watching your video. This is really awesome and quite helpful in being productive with lesser efforts. I loved the way you made me understand the nitty gritties of such a beautiful application. Thanks a lot for your efforts. Bye bye!
Thanks so much for this video. I am an a realtor and need to create a marketing presentation for futire clients. This is the perfect tool. Will play with it today.
WOW! This is the first time I've heard of this and it looks really awesome! I'm trying to start a business and this looks like exactly what I wanted.
Thanks for the videos. I'm from Woodinville,WA but watching and learning so much from over here in Thailand. Keep 'em coming sir.
Thanks for the note Michael! Woodinville is right around the corner :) Hope you're enjoying Thailand.
Great video. I never knew Sway existed either. What I don't understand is why, at the time of me watching this video, have 290 people downvoted it!
It's great content, well produced, with excellent audio and video quality.
Thankfully 13K upvotes well outweigh the haters!
Thank you another brilliant video! I’d never heard of Sway before and I work in IT 😂 it looks great!
I didn't know about ms sway.. After watching your video, now I have come to know about it.. Thanks dude
Of course, happy to help. Appreciate the note!
Interesting. I heard about sway for the first time today. haven't watched the entire video but looking forward to learn it.
Sway makes presentation of your ideas a breeze, thanks Kevin
Playing "sway" by Bic Runga
Thank you for this quick overview of the capabilities of Sway. This is exactly what I needed and I am excited to get started!
Thanks for bringing this up, I've seen it but never use it hence never thought it would be so useful.
Thanks for that little introduction, am asked to use Sway for an assignment & never heard of it, your video was helpful!
Thank you Kevin for this good introduction to Sway, it was useful to me.
I am new to Sway but I like it very much.
The one thing I miss with it is a way categorize my Sways, either with folders or some other ways to filter them by tags or folder would be nice.
This is really fantastic and like the previous comment, I also had NO IDEA that Sway existed, so thanks Kevin for providing this fantastic introduction!
Thanks, Kevin, another excellent tutorial.
I’ve always wondered what Sway was for. Next up, I say an overview of PowerBI :)
I'm planning a video on PowerBI, stay tuned!
Julian Störig You will see in the video 😁
Excellent. Sway is so cool. Love it! Thanks Kevin for this very informative and clear instruction.
Thanks so much. This was really helpful. Hadn't heard of it till now. Will surely experiment and use it going forward.
Hi guy! I am from Vietnam. I like your videos. They are very nice and useful. Thanks a lot!
Wow an excellent intro to Sway - Thank you :)
I've wondered what Sway was all about. This is so helpful! Thanks! Nice job as always, Kevin.
This is great for freelancer profile to showcase their portfolio. I just wish the shared generated link is much shorter or not gibberish.
You could use a link shortener.
Your videos are excellent. Clear, concise and understandable. I am subscribed to your channel and recommend that anyone looking for help with MS products watches your tutorials before any others. JWL - New York.
I just discovered you. I used the Sway feature for my resume and it was so easy to use. Thank you for this video.
Is Sway here to stay? I thought it was being discontinued, but maybe I'm mixing that up with just the iOS app having been discontinued in 2018.
Kevin, ha ha - almost too well done for the rest of us. I truly hope we do not bury you in success with your new focus. Perhaps the sequel to this great session should be "Feng Sway?"
Hi Kevin,
As always, all your videos are incredibly helpful, with clear perspectives and a way to use them, thank you!
Thanks Kevin! I watched most of your videos and all are informative. First time learning about Sway and Powerpoint Live, and already excited to use this.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A very helpful video and introductory guide to Microsoft Sway. Thank you. Kevin Stratvert - a super cool guy!
Thank you for this tutorial. I'll use Sway for online teaching.
You've said sway so much I honesty started doubting how the hell sway was even a word haha
I completely agree!

BANGALORE - INDIA
Fantastic explanation from a very cool guy! Thank you, Kevin!
This is so cool, thank you for introducing SWAY and I need to work on some newsletter to my clients. I have done a persona project not long ago using Power Point, I can put those content in SWAY and I am sure it presents nicely with more interactive content. BTW, I worked with a company in NJ and I love NYC, it's very much like HK and I enjoyed learning new skills by watching your videos. Good luck and I will share this on my FB so my friends in HK, TW, USA and UK can also benefit from your videos! Woo Hoo!
Excellent.......I have been tooling around with Sway for months. You always add another level of learning to your videos. Can you do a vid on how to setup quizzes/polls in Powerpoint FORMS ? I can't seem to get it to download into the slide.
Hey Jenna - appreciate the note! I have surveys and quizzes in PowerPoint on my list. I'll pull a video together soon. Thanks!
Thanks man... Great work.
You explain things in a very nice way.
Very informative! Excited to actually try it, myself. Thanks a lot.
Hey Kevin this helped me in my summer vacatio thnx alot!
Great video, I just learned about this last week and I used it for my University presentation, Great Stuff!!
Thanks very much . Great Great video as usual. well explained and clear.
OMG! I didn't know this existed. Excellent presentation.
Thank you for doing this video on Sway. I plan to make an introductory speech to a group on Zoom. This will also be a way for them to use this tool for LinkedIn and and their website. I think Microsoft should give you a raise. 😀
I am working on creating a website. What is the benefit of choosing Microsoft vs Google tools and resources? Will you do a video on this topic? Thanks
I'll take a raise :) You can use Sway as an easy way to create an interactive web page. The only downside is that you can't have any sub pages. All-in-all, you can create a beautiful web site with minimal effort and for free. On Microsoft vs. Google, my answer might be a little biased since I work at Microsoft! I'll add it as a topic to my list of videos to create. Cheers!
Nice Video...Thanks for sharing hidden apps of office 365 - which we might miss sway features without watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Quick and to the point. Answered my questions.
Great tutorial! As I embark on 'WOW'ing my colleagues! 😛
Hey Kevin, I truly love your UA-cam channel and I regularly watch your videos which are very informative, so my demand is that can you make a video on how to do power point presentations for beginners.. you are awesome...
Thank you Kevin, wonderful video!
Great learning video. Thank you so much Kevin.
If anyone wants to understand what is UI vs UX, this tool is a great example.
Great UI in terms of how it all is setup. Some good UX as well. But the eventual and final output is the finest example of how everything that you do in a product can come undone.
I personally hate powerpoint as well. But If someone would force me to choose between Sway and Powerpoint, I would go for the latter.
Kevin - If you are reading this, please work out an opportunity for me with Microsoft to work on making sense of these products.
Superb Video it helped me a lot in making my news letter... Thanks for sharing & looking forward for more.
This is an excellent video. Very well presented. A great demonstration of sway's features.
Sway is one of those hidden gems.! It’s great to create a sway instead of posting the same boring stuff...
This is so cool that this person works at Microsoft 👍🏻👏
