  • Free to use [up to 5 GB cloud storage per person]
  • No need to click the save button again and again when you make changes. Everything gets saved automatically to cloud [provided you have good network connection]
  • Web browser based application
  • A lot of features from the desktop version are still missing [such as more colours, gradients, eyedropper, effects, and styles]
  • It currently does not support editing on password protected presentations
  • Printing of slides is limited in PowerPoint online when compared to desktop version. It allows to print only one slide per page
  • Cannot be used to make advanced presentations due to lack of features [no presenter view, grid and snapping tool and many more]

  • The best part it you can create, share and maintain your presentations online
  • You can access your presentations from anywhere at any time
  • You can include flash files and video objects that will make your presentation even better
  • You can customize your presentation according to your requirements if you don't want to use default templates
  • With bulk of data and audio video objects your presentation will take too long to play
  • You really need a good system configuration if you want to run updated version smoothly on your system

  • Microsoft PowerPoint online allows for collaboration across offices and teams. That's a big deal and it resolves version control issues.
  • Microsoft PowerPoint online lets us download a PowerPoint native presentation that is easily opened in the desktop version with minimal issues.
  • The online version really does a good job of emulating the offline experience, so there's virtually no learning curve for new users.
  • Running a presentation from PowerPoint online has been a disappointing experience. Things just don't react as smoothly as they do in the offline version because we're relying on sometimes iffy internet connections.
  • Video does not play well when it's embedded and played through the online version.
  • Downloading a PPT file that was created online creates almost no inconsistencies, but in my experience uploading a PPT to the online version that was created offline sometimes does create issues with fonts and formatting.

  • Sharing documents is easy and simple.
  • Modifying anything on the go is way faster, even when you're not at home.
  • If you're used to the software that it's installed on every Windows computer, you'll love it, as it's basically the same layout.
  • the integration with Onedrive and other tools like Excel, Outlook, Teams, Word, etc. is very useful to move around quickly.
  • Handling large documents might not be as efficient, not sure if this is based on the current load of the computer I'm working with, but sometimes we have to take a moment (around 20 seconds) to load the entire file.

  • Platform-independent. Can be used on PC, Mac, or even on mobile computing
  • Cloud application, meaning that no local storage is required to build a presentation
  • Intuitive interface, similar to the MS Office suite
  • Several of the functions that people are used to in Windows or Mac are not available
  • Feels a bit clunky - slower to insert pictures
  • Formatting was more difficult than the OS apps.
