I'd spent the week trying to use Powerpoint Copilot and it was frustrating. Now watching this video, I can see laid out very clearly what copilot powerpoint can and can't do. Helpful to see the current limits so I don't waste time trying to do something it can't do. Lot's of helpful little tips throughout.
I’m glad you reminded me to like the video, but maybe around 7 minutes, instead of near the end. Very brief ask, and well placed, if a bit late. 👍👊 Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for the tips, Lisa. A group of us are trialling CoPilot and are blown away by some of the stuff it does but the PowerPoint capability wasn't one of them. However, you've inspired me to give it another go using "Create Presentation from File" as an alternative approach.
Thanks Lisa, hilarious opening slides as you attempt to keep this thing on the rails. And representstive of my experience. I've not been able to use it at all in what are otherwise complex corporate slide decks. Maybe next year 😅
Thanks for this insightful video, if l subscribe as a single user, would l be able to save my work and then transfer it to my office Microsoft to use for my presentation?
Yes you can subscribe to Copilot Pro as an individual and create a presentation with copilot. If you have a M365 personal or family subscription you can do this in the desktop app, if not you can do it in the web version of PowerPoint. Then save your presentation and use it whenever you want
I have Copilot Pro (Personal). When I launch Copilot in PowerPoint I do not get "Create Presentation From File" like you get in your video. I have a subscription to Microsoft Office 365. Please tell me what I can do.
Interesting, your experience is what the documentation says, that create from a file isn’t available in the personal Copilot Pro subscription. I will need to double check why I seem to have access to that, thanks
I have been looking into the problem. What I have read indicates I should uninstall MS Office 365 and then reinstall. There are people who are having a similar problem. Thanks for getting back to me.
@@larryberman1113were you able to get create from file working? From what I'm reading, you need a business 365 and copilot for 365, copilot pro won't allow create from file which is frustrating because I know people have. I'm not sure if MS changed the features for new purchases
I found the reason "Currently we support document transformation only for Word files on your organization’s SharePoint. Please upload the content to a file on SharePoint and try again with the link to the uploaded file." So, this refers to Copilot Pro Business and not to Personal.
Jump to the second last chapter in this video at 19:09 - I cover it a bit there. There is a fair bit of setup required in what your corporate template looks like that will change the results. This is a more recently added feature, I suspect it's early days and we will see improvements.
Thank you Lisa! I am a PowerPoint presentation designer in an organization with their own branding and I am very curious into how Copilot can help me with my work. I still have no actual hands on with MS365 Copilot yet so I have no idea how efficient will Copilot be in adopting to our template 😊
Someone else has raised this too, I think it’s my error. The documentation says that feature isn’t available with Copilot Pro but I seem to have it, I will double check why.
@LisaCrosbie, thanks for replying! One more thing: I have M 365, but probably the one you're talking about is a separate purchase. Just to have the "file attached" option in ppt. And word, and Excel working on the app, it is a costly individual purchase just to get that option, no? :(
the inital design in copilot is basic (e.g., text bullets and some random image on the side or top/bottom). Designer just contains variations of the "basic" formatting. I watched your entire video and it looks like Copilot is still ONLY able to work with extremely "basic" templates. So no go for corporate use yet.
I think the best use cases for this so far are for education and light ideation / research - generating content to help you get started on a topic but in a much more visual way than something like Chat GPT. If you have Copilot for M365 and you have a Word document with section headings and structure, it's very good at turning that into a PowerPoint deck and saves a lot of time. But if you have a sophisticated corporate template - agree, it's not so good with that yet.
I really appreciate your walkthroughs, but I have to say . . . . your less than optimal first few attempts made me think of the old thing about give typewriters to a million monkeys . . . well, they came close!
Indeed. I’m going to keep playing with the prompts. When I tried it again asking for just Melbourne instead of Melbourne Australia I got much better results and images.

Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks, I always forget to ask earlier, I get carried away with the content!

Awesome, good luck. I think that part is well worth exploring as a massive time saver.
I agree. Create from file is much, much more useful than creating from scratch.
Thanks Lisa, hilarious opening slides as you attempt to keep this thing on the rails. And representstive of my experience. I've not been able to use it at all in what are otherwise complex corporate slide decks. Maybe next year 😅
It's very early days, even since I recorded this video I'm getting better results - keep at it!
Insightful watch. It's great to see these things before we buy!
Side note, where can we get those stickers?? 😂😂
I picked them up at a conference, but we do need a way to get more stickers to more people!
what version of Microsoft word?

Can you please add the link to where you found the Microsoft - Copilot Studio Implementation Guide PPT presentation?
aka.ms/copilotstudioimplementationguide (and I've added it to the description)

Reinstalling Office did not resolve my problem. Still no presentation from file. The next step is to call Microsoft.
I found the reason "Currently we support document transformation only for Word files on your organization’s SharePoint. Please upload the content to a file on SharePoint and try again with the link to the uploaded file."
So, this refers to Copilot Pro Business and not to Personal.
Any experience or insights of adopting an existing Powerpoint file to a specific company template/branding?

From what I’ve seen it will depend a lot on your template design.
I've been trying to use the create from file feature but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have a special subscription to support it?
Someone else has raised this too, I think it’s my error. The documentation says that feature isn’t available with Copilot Pro but I seem to have it, I will double check why.
Hi, ma'am; I can't find the attached file option (word) in PowerPoint to make slides from it… what should I do?
My mistake in this video, you only get that with the Copilot for Microsoft 365 license (it’s not included in Copilot Pro license)
