How to Create a Fantastic PowerPoint Agenda Slide Template in 5 Steps [Presentation Hackathon 4]

How to Create a Fantastic PowerPoint Agenda Slide Template in 5 Steps [Presentation Hackathon 4]

Anuj Malhotra

author-user

Have you heard of the word Priming ? More popularly used in psychology, it “refers to an increased sensitivity to certain stimuli due to prior experience.” After watching a scary movie alone at night, you become more sensitive and thus primed to slightest noises around you like creak of the bed and rustling of leaves outside the window!

Why are we talking about priming here? Your agenda slide serves the same purpose in your presentation. It positively primes your audience as to what they would be getting out of your talk- the key takeaways. So when you advance to further segments in your talk, the audience recall that it was second, third or fourth on your agenda list.

But first ask yourself- Do I really need an agenda slide in my presentation? Well yes, if you are presenting at a conference with many topics to cover, it’s advisable as well as expected that the audience have a little idea beforehand of what key areas you are going to throw light on. It’s like a little warm-up exercise for the audience. It also gives a structure to your talk, which otherwise can become a rambling affair.

If this part, however, is botched up with a chaotic slide that has way too many sections and subsections, you have lost your audience even before you could introduce yourself. You might have had great insights to share with your listeners but you scared them with “information overload”. So, ALWAYS include only the most important sections of the presentation in your agenda slide.

Say you have 6 main areas that you’ll be covering. Most presenters, for lack of ideas or other reasons, will tend to leave their agenda slide completely naked, except listing out the 6 items as bullet points! It’s bad priming: audience are only being predisposed to expect boring, ugly slides from there onwards.

Ugly slide full of bullet points

Conversely, if you create an eye-catchy agenda slide, you’ll succeed in wetting their mental appetite. Here’s a re-designed agenda slide that you can create in a few minutes for your upcoming presentation:

Design Impressive Agenda Slide for PowerPoint Presentation

Interested in knowing how we transformed the above slide in a matter of just 5 minutes? Let us show you step by step how to go about designing that slide:

Also Read: 7 Best Marketing PowerPoint Templates Suggested By Top Marketers

Step 1: Cover the slide with striking visual

For an agenda slide, choose a visual that means serious business. If you are presenting in a boardroom, the meeting table can be a good idea. If you are presenting in a conference hall to hundreds or thousands in audience, the stage or the audience can be a good background image. Or you can simply go in for any business image showing professionals engaged in a brainstorming session, a wall clock showing time is of essence, a busy business desk etc.

You need not stress yourself out over the right visual since the image will be masked out and only used to set the tone for the presentation agenda. We chose a roundtable for our agenda slide. if you want to use the same, you can download it for free from Pixabay: an awesome free resource for professional images.

Conference Table

Step 2: Give Your Image a Wireframe Effect

One of the latest design trends on social media is using a faded image in the background. There is a reason why designers do this. They need to highlight the content- perhaps a quote, announcement, etc.- and not the visual. The visual is inserted to add value to the message, reinforce the words, and not draw complete attention to itself.

This visual effect- to be there and yet not be there- can also be achieved by the wireframe effect. This term is used in architecture and website development. Put simply, it’s a blueprint and this awesome effect can be applied on any image using the “Glow Edges” Artistic Effect in PowerPoint!

Here’s how to do this:

  • Select the image
  • Under the Format tab, click the Artistic Effects dropdown
  • Select the last option Glow Edges (see the screenshot below)

Giving Glow Edges Artisitic Effect in PowerPoint

Step 3: Add a Transparent Shape over the Visual

The effect looks cool but is still too attention grabbing. Any text placed over it will have a heavy contrast but look jarring. To mask it out further, follow these steps:

  • Choose a rectangular box from the Shapes menu (under the Insert tab)
  • Right click on the shape, click the Format Shape option
  • Give it a solid fill (your brand color or a professional blue will look good)
  • Set the transparency (between 10-20%) so that the image beneath the shape can be seen

Format Shape and giving transparency in PowerPoint

Step 4: Place Text Tags over the Slide

Now comes the time for spelling out your business agenda, the most important thing in the slide. Rather than simply pasting the agenda as bullet points, we will place each agenda as tags on the slide. Have a look at the slide below to know what we mean:

Text Tags to Highlight Content in Slide

It’s pretty simple to create these shapes on your own. All you have to do is:

  • Click the Insert tab
  • From the Shapes dropdown menu, under Rectangles , select the Round Same Side Corner Rectangle
  • Drag to draw the rectangle on the slide
  • Under the Format tab, click the Rotate dropdown menu
  • Click Rotate Right 90 degree
  • Select the rounded rectangle shape and drag the yellow dot on the rounded side (see screenshot below) to the center of that side

Step by Step Process to create tags in PowerPoint

Duplicate the shape till you have six such tags. Lastly, rotate three to the left so that you have all tags facing each other. That leaves us with the last step.

Step 5: Insert Circle in each Tag and Add Icon for Each

It’s difficult to have an awesome slide without having small visual representations called icons. But first, insert a circle from the Shapes menu and place it on the rounded side of each rectangular tag. Give it a dark blue solid fill to create rich contrast.

Now, choose an icon for each of your agenda and place them inside the circles. We recommend you choose fully editable, vector icons so that you can change their color, size, etc. without having any effect on the quality of the icon. If you want the icons used above, you can simply download them  from our website .

And that’s it, you have created one awesome agenda slide that will be hard to forget for your audience. Have a look at the final slide:

This agenda presentation template is just a click away.

Agenda Template 4: Full Page Image Layout with Parallelogram Effect

Beautiful Agenda Slide Layout with Image and Icons

You can simply replace the content in the slide above by downloading our PowerPoint agenda slide template .

Agenda Template 5: Split Image Layout

Splitting image into multiple parts captures attention like none other. Here’s why: it forces the audience to fill the gaps and visualize the complete picture in their mind. It piques their curiosity and forces them to actively engage in understanding the slide rather than passively view it. You can then place each agenda on the split image to create a knockout agenda slide.

PowerPoint Agendas

PowerPoint Agenda Slide: What It Is & Easy Ways to Make One

Whitney D. Walter

If you’ve been creating Microsoft PowerPoint presentations for a while, you already know the benefits of starting with a good agenda.

As a presenter, it allows you to take control of the conversation from the very beginning. You’ll also have the ability to eliminate audience distractions by clarifying the meeting objective and pointing out when the audience can be expected to participate. This allows them to pay  more  attention to what you’re saying and  less  to when you’re going to answer certain questions.

In fact,  according to Entrepreneur , meetings without effective agendas are simply  time-wasters.  When your audience doesn’t know what to expect they’ll be more likely to interrupt with questions and that’s a quick way to lose control.

Whether you’re presenting to clients, students, or colleagues starting a presentation with a solid agenda is always a good idea.

So, I’m sharing three types of PowerPoint agenda slides you can start creating today. I’ll also share the skill level needed for each and best practices for when each one is most effective.

Check them out and let me know which one you plan to use in the comments!

Visual Roadmap Agenda Slide

What is an agenda slide in powerpoint.

When you’re creating a PowerPoint presentation, it’s extremely important to have an agenda slide. An agenda slide in PowerPoint is the first slide of your presentation.

This is the slide that tells your audience what you’re going to be talking about. It tells the audience what they are going to see and in what order. It is basically an outline of your presentation.

As a presentation creator, this can be a great slide to create when drafting a presentation. It can help to keep your presentation focused and on track.

By including an agenda slide, you’re helping your audience to follow along and understand the overall structure of your presentation. It also gives the appearance of a more professional presentation.

How do you create an agenda slide?

Hyperlinked table of contents agenda slide.

Skill Level:  Beginner

What it’s good for:  This is ideal for presentations to leaders, executives, and similar “no-frills” types of audiences. This type of agenda provides clear, easy-to-follow navigation and is perfect for presentations of all kinds.

How it’s Done:

  • Create a simple numbered or bulleted list of agenda points to be included at the beginning of your presentation.
  • NOTE: This can be a list of each slide’s actual title, key takeaways, general concept(s) each slide covers. If you choose to focus on key takeaways or concepts, try to keep your descriptions clear and concise. Use the  5/5/5 rule  as a guide, if needed.
  • Highlight the text of your first agenda item.
  • Right-click on the highlighted text and click  Hyperlink.
  • Select  Place in This Document  and  select the corresponding slide  within your presentation.
  • Click  OK.
  • Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each item on the agenda.

Zoom Section Links Agenda Slide(for PowerPoint 2016 and later)

Skill Level:  Beginner/Intermediate

What it’s good for:  This works well for presentations with clearly defined sections and allows you to bounce between the topics when necessary.

How it’s Done: 

  • Once your PowerPoint is complete, navigate over to the slide preview panel on the left side of the screen and  click on the space  between the two slides where you want your first section to start. (Wherever you click, the section will include all slides that follow unless there is another section later in the presentation, then it will include all slides up until that point.) A line will appear to show where your new section begins.
  • Navigate to the  Home  tab at the top of the screen and click on  Section,  then  Add Section.
  • Give the section a name.
  • NOTE: At this point, I like to create a slide that simply says the section name. It allows you to create more uniform section images later.
  • Click away from the section and it will automatically save.
  • Repeat steps 1 through 5 for any additional sections you wish to include.
  • Once all sections are complete, insert a new blank slide for your agenda.
  • Navigate to the  Insert  tab at the top of the screen and  click the drop-down menu next to Zoom  then click  Section Zoom.
  • Select the sections you wish to include and click  Insert.
  • The section images will automatically be added in a cascaded stack on the slide. Click away from the images and then click each one to drag and drop to the correct placement on the slide.

Skill Level:  Advanced

What it’s good for:  This is great for presentations geared towards interns, new hires, or presentations that focus on steps within a process or system.

  • Create a simple bulleted list of the sections to be included in your presentation.
  • With your text box selected, navigate to the  Home  tab at the top of the screen and click  Convert to SmartArt  and choose from the dropdown menu.
  • Once you select one of the options, a new menu will appear at the top of the screen. You can use this menu to preview other styles. I recommend selecting from the Process section. Some of my favorite types of SmartArt for this are Basic Process, Picture Accent Process, Alternating Flow, Basic Timeline, Basic Chevron Process, Vertical Chevron List, and Upward Arrow.
  • Depending on the chart you choose, you may also have additional space to include more details about each part of the presentation.
  • Adjust the shape colors, size, and style to match your presentation.
  • Additionally, you may want to link each step in the process to a section or slide. To create a linked shape,  right-click the shape  and click  Hyperlink.  Select  Place in This Document , choose the appropriate slide and then click  OK.

Is there an agenda template in PowerPoint?

If you’re looking for agenda slide templates, you might be wondering if PowerPoint has any available in the “Templates” section of the program.

Unfortunately, there’s not an standard agenda slide template in PowerPoint. However, you can reverse engineer your entire presentation if you start with an agenda before creating the rest of your slides.

With the PowerPoint Designer you can use the basic agenda slide template to automatically create each slide based on your agenda chosen items. Even better, the Designer incorporates design elements to make your slide and agenda items pop.

Save time and give it a try on your next presentation.

Now you’ve mastered the basics when it comes to the often-overlooked PowerPoint agenda slide. If you are used to incorporating a basic agenda in your presentations then it’s time to up-level with hyperlinks! I’d love to know how you’re currently using agendas and which of these recommendations you plan to try. Comment below and let me know.

And remember, whether you add in an agenda that sweet and simple or something more advanced, simply making a habit of providing an overview of the presentation’s keys areas is good practice.

Agenda Slide in meeting

Your audience could leave before the presentation is through if you don’t let them know what engaging and informed material is coming up next. Your agenda slides effectively inform your audience of the main takeaways they might expect from your talk.

Like a table of contents, an agenda slide lists the subjects covered during a presentation or meeting. Typically, the themes are hyperlinked to the respective parts so that viewers may easily go to the slide they desire by just clicking on the topic.

Why use agenda slides?

It is usually preferable that the crowd has a general idea of the topics you will be discussing. Agenda slides do this. It’s almost like a warm-up for the crowd. It also provides your presentation with structure. A concise agenda slide design informs the audience about the topic of your presentation and offers an outline of the items that will be discussed. Without an agenda slide, you keep your audiences in the dark.

The agenda also assists in priming the audience. It is a term commonly used in psychology to describe an enhanced sensitivity to specific stimuli due to earlier experience. When we watch a happy movie, for example, we tend to perceive the world around us from a more positive perspective and notice positive things we would not have before. For more information on the importance of agenda slides, check out this article.

If the agenda is messed up with a jumbled slide with too many divisions, you’ve already lost your audience. You may have had valuable ideas to discuss with your audience, but you drove them away with an overload of information. As a result, on your agenda slide, always include just the most crucial elements of the presentation. 

Types of Agenda Slides

Simple agenda slides.

Simple agenda slides will assist you in emphasising essential elements in your presentation as well as the main sections so that you do not overlook anything crucial. When graphics are not as vital as the material itself, these simple agenda slides might be utilised to provide the audience with a general overview of the presentation. Given here are a few types of simple agenda slides.

Horizontal Agenda Slides

These agenda templates adhere to a horizontal agenda-setting structure, allowing you to display agendas for various objectives in horizontal order.

Priority Agenda Slides

These designs provide an agenda-setting structure that allows you to provide agendas in order of relevance. You may display the presentation’s contents in a prioritized sequence. This is so that the audience understands what is most relevant in that presentation.

agenda in power point presentation

Steps to Design Agenda Slides

An agenda slide is usually the initial slide that the viewer sees after the title page, thus it must be visually appealing. It is possible to accomplish this by adding a background image and utilizing icons and symbols in the subject list panel.

Choose a graphic that conveys seriousness. If you’re giving a presentation in the boardroom, the conference table might be useful. When speaking on a stage, the platform or the audience might be an excellent backdrop image. Alternatively, you may choose any business image depicting experts engaged in a discussion, a clock or a calendar indicating that time is of importance, a business desk, and so on.

Insert text boxes and use catchy titles

Instead of a regular text box, you may use the “Insert” option to insert a “SmartArt” graphic. It includes a collection of pre-formatted text boxes and graphics for displaying a group of objects’ process flow, hierarchy, and so on. For agenda slides, the “List” type is recommended. 

agenda in power point presentation

You can even make your own forms.

  • Navigate to the Insert tab.
  • Select any form in the Shapes dropdown menu.
  • Construct the shape on the slide by dragging.
  • Optionally, select the Rotate dropdown option in the Format tab to rotate it in whichever direction you choose.
  • Duplicate the form until you obtain the required number of shapes.
  • Place a circle in every box and an icon in each box.

It is advised that you use completely editable vector icons so you may modify their colour, size, and so on without affecting the icon’s quality. After that, just place text boxes within the shapes to type out your agenda items.

Consider Hyperlinks

While in presentation mode, the user may move to the correct slide by simply tapping on the topic. You insert a hyperlink by right-clicking the chosen text and selecting “Hyperlink.” A dialogue box will open, and you can then navigate to the “This Document” tab and choose the page to which you want to connect. This is especially useful for presentations that include many slides and is shared with the audience. For conferences or speeches, this is rarely used. 

Outline for making agenda slides in PowerPoint

Step 1 : In the “Click to add title” box, put “Agenda” or your desired agenda slide title, such as “Today’s Topic.” then pull it to the slide’s top.

Step 2 : In the subtitle text box, write the first topic of the agenda, such as “Introductions.” Hit the “Enter” key to create a line of spacing between lines. Fill in the blanks on your slide with all of the items.

Step 3 : Highlight all of the text. Click the “Home” tab and the “Numbering” button in the ribbon’s paragraph area to add numbering to the agenda items. You may also use the drop-down arrow on the “Numbering” button to add A, B, C, or another formatting to the agenda topics instead of numbers. You don’t have to use numbers; you may alternatively use arrows or nothing.

Steps 2 and 3 can be substituted with the SmartArt Graphic described above. The graphic will automatically fill in the blanks for you to construct a list, provide a numbering, and give you space to enter your text.

Step 4 : Select the “Design” tab and move your mouse over the elements in the Themes column. There are several themes available with various backgrounds, text colours and sizes, and design components. If desired, select one to apply to the slide. You may also adjust specific text looks such as font type, size, colour and positioning using the Home tab’s Font section of the ribbon.

Step 5 : Select “Picture” under the “Insert” option. Double-click the corporate logo by navigating to it, dragging it into the slide’s vacant space, ideally to the left or right of the title.

How to Present Agenda Slides

The agenda requires hooks in order to keep the audience’s attention during the presentation. A hook persuades the audience to pay attention. It clearly explains why the information is valuable. The subjects that will be discussed in the presentation are simply listed on the agenda. The audience may or may not take the agenda’s worth into account.

The standard agenda slide has the drawback of being tedious and lengthy for the presenter to go through, and also gives the audience the option of choosing not to listen at specific times, if at all. As a result, the agenda presentation must be interesting.

To understand how to use hooks, you can refer to this article or even this video linked below

Additionally, it is advised not to start your speech with an agenda. Start off with something more engaging. For ideas, see this article . Deliver your agenda after you’ve concluded your opening.

Crafting an Impactful PowerPoint Agenda Slide (The Ultimate Guide)

In the world of presentations, the agenda slide is often underestimated. But it holds the key to engagement. Wondering how to unlock its potential? This article is your guide to crafting a captivating PowerPoint agenda slide that will captivate your audience.

Part 1. What is an Agenda Slide?

An agenda slide in PowerPoint is a slide that provides an overview of the presentation's topics and order. It is typically the first slide in a presentation and serves as a roadmap for the audience.

Here are the key elements of an effective agenda slide:

Title: Prominently displayed at the top of the slide.

Agenda items: Listed in the order they will be discussed, using specific and concise language.

Time allocation (optional): Estimated time spent on each topic.

Additional information, such as the presenter's name, date, time, and location, can be included if necessary. However, keep the slide concise and visually appealing.

Here are some tips for creating an effective agenda slide:

Use clear and concise language.

Be specific and avoid using vague or generic language.

List the agenda items in the order in which they will be discussed.

Estimate how much time you will be spending on each topic, if possible.

Use visuals to make the slide more visually appealing and engaging.

Proofread the slide carefully before presenting it.

An effective agenda slide can help you start your presentation off on the right foot and keep your audience engaged throughout.

Part 2. How to Use Agenda Slide in PowerPoint?

Agenda slides in PowerPoint are essential for organizing your presentation content and providing your audience with a clear roadmap of what to expect. Here, we'll walk you through three different methods for creating agenda slides, each with its own unique approach.

Method 1: Hyperlinked Table of Contents

Step 1: Organize your presentation.

Step 2: Insert a new slide for the agenda.

Step 3 : Add hyperlinks for each item.

Step 4: Link them to respective slides.

Step 5: Test in presentation mode.

Step 4: Test links in presentation mode.

The best method depends on your specific needs and the purpose of your presentation.

Hyperlinked table of contents: Concise and informative

Zoom section links: Visually appealing and easy to follow.

Visual roadmap: Visually appealing and informative

Choose the method that best suits your needs and create an effective agenda slide to start your presentation off on the right foot.

Part 3. Usages of Agenda Slide

Tracking changes and agenda slides are essential tools for professional PowerPoint presentations and online project management. Tracking changes allows collaborators to see each other's edits and feedback, making it easier to produce a polished and accurate final product. It is also useful for tracking progress and identifying any areas of disagreement or confusion.

Agenda slides provide structure and direction for both presenters and audiences. They help to ensure that meetings and presentations stay on track and that all important topics are covered. Agenda slides can also be used to communicate expectations and roles to team members working on online projects.

Here are some specific examples of how I have used tracking changes and agenda slides in my professional work:

Tracking changes: I recently collaborated with a team of engineers to create a presentation for a new product launch. We used tracking changes to share feedback on each other's work and to ensure that the presentation was accurate and up to date.

Agenda slides: I regularly use agenda slides to lead team meetings and presentations. This helps to keep everyone on the same page and to ensure that we cover all the important topics. I also use agenda slides to communicate expectations to team members working on online projects.

Overall, tracking changes and agenda slides are essential tools for professional PowerPoint presentations and online project management. They can help to improve communication, collaboration, and efficiency.

Microsoft 365 Life Hacks > Presentations > Five tips for choosing the right PowerPoint template

Five tips for choosing the right PowerPoint template

The design or template you choose can greatly influence the success of your presentation, either capturing your audience’s attention or leaving them disengaged. To make a lasting impression on your audience, utilize these five tips when selecting your PowerPoint presentation template.

How do you choose a template in PowerPoint?

The initial step in creating your PowerPoint presentation is choosing the appropriate design. To effectively select the best PowerPoint template for your presentation, there are several components you should consider. These components include the following:

1. Consider your audience

The first component you should consider is your audience. Is the presentation intended for a formal setting, such as in a business context, or will it be delivered in a more informal gathering? Are the viewers going to review the slides virtually , in-person, or will they be viewing the presentation independently? What are the demographics of your audience? It’s crucial to contemplate your audience before outlining your presentation, as they significantly influence your design choices. For example, if you are delivering a business-oriented presentation, you might choose a more conservative design, while a more informal presentation may call for a bolder and more captivating template.

2. Select a template with appropriate layout options

The layout plays a crucial role in determining how your content is delivered, read, and ultimately comprehended by your audience. When you assess presentation templates, ensure that the layout options align with the nature of your content. Ask yourself, ‘Will this format enhance the readability and comprehension of my content for my audience? Is it the most efficient way to convey my information?

3. Choose a design that fits your style

You’ll feel most comfortable presenting when your presentation feels like yourself. Make you presentation an extension of your personal style and brand, that effectively complements your aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer minimalism and clean lines or a striking, vibrant presentation filled with animation, select a design that aligns with your style and creates cohesive visuals.

4. Find a template that reflects your message

Outside of aesthetics, your template should reflect the core message of your presentation. If your content is data-heavy, opt for a template with clear charts and graphs. For a storytelling presentation, choose a template that incorporates visuals and storytelling elements. Ensuring your template and message aligns strengthens your presentation’s storytelling .

5. Consider the length of your presentation

The duration of your presentation should be incorporated in your template decision making. Longer presentations may benefit from a clean and organized template that aids in maintaining audience attention. Shorter presentations, on the other hand, provide room for more creative and visually striking templates. Consider the pacing and structure of your content in relation to the template to optimize your audience’s engagement.

The key to an effective PowerPoint presentation template is extensively considering the context of your presentation. Know who your audience is, what your message is, the length of your message, and how the content should be presented. When you consider these elements, you can ensure your presentation will resonate with your audience, with your intended impact.

How to wrap text in google slides.

Make an attention-worthy presentation by wrapping text in slides

You must strike the right balance between media files and text to create an engaging presentation. When you insert several photos in a slide, wrap the text around them to enhance its visual appeal. It also adds a professional touch and conveys the message better.

When you add text and images to a slide, you may need to change the text position so that it doesn't overlap with the inserted media. Whether you use Google Slides on a desktop or rely on the company's apps on your iPhone, budget Android phone , or tablet to make last-minute tweaks, check the tips below to wrap text around images in no time.

What is text wrap in Google Slides?

Text wrapping is a common feature in popular Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 apps, like Docs, Sheets, Word, Excel, and Google Slides. It wraps text around other slide content like photos and videos. You can resize text content and place it in a relevant position on a slide.

How to add transparency to an image in Google Slides

Wrap text in google slides on the web.

Since most Google Slides users prefer a web version, let's start with it. Follow the steps below to insert an image and add text around it.

  • Launch Google Slides on the web and sign in with your account details.
  • Create a new presentation or open an existing one.

Now, it's time to wrap the text around your image. Unlike Google Docs, there isn't a one-click solution to adjust your text automatically. You'll rely on a workaround.

  • Move to a new slide when you are satisfied with the outcome.

Tweak wrap text effect in Google Slides

You can also play with text formatting options in Google Slides. This is a neat way to improve the text wrap effect.

  • Open a slide in your presentation and select a text box.
  • Click Format at the top and expand Align and indent .

The option produces a clean edge on the left and right. It takes care of uneven gaps and rivers in the text.

Wrap text in Google Slides apps

The ability to wrap text in Google Slides is available on mobile and tablet. We use Google Slides for iPad in the screenshots below.

  • Launch Google Slides on your tablet and open a presentation.
  • Use the blue border to place your text box anywhere on a slide.

How to add a timer to Google Slides

Benefits of wrapping text in google slides.

Unlike Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides isn't smart enough to show design ideas based on your added text, images, and other graphical elements. When you add images and text, you must manually adjust them for a cohesive look. Here are some of the advantages of wrapping text in Google Slides.

  • Creates a solid presentation with lots of images and relevant text content.
  • Conveys your pitch in a meaningful manner.
  • Simplifies your busy slide.
  • Cuts down the number of slides in a presentation.

Improvise your pitch

Your presentation may look busy, cluttered, and unprofessional without text wrapping. It only requires a few clicks and small adjustments to make your text look organized with other slide elements. You can also tweak text from the Google Slides mobile apps.

If you don't want to deal with text wrapping and other formatting options, start with a top Google Slides template and make the required changes quickly to complete a presentation.

PowerPoint parties are still bringing friends together, one hyper-specific subject at a time

For McCall Mirabella’s 21st birthday party last month, she asked guests to bring only one gift: A PowerPoint presentation.

Mirabella, a TikTok and YouTube personality with over 1.3 million followers across both platforms, assembled her closest friends and asked them to present a slideshow on anything they could think of. The only criteria was “the sillier, the better.”

Her guests delivered. One attendee ranked the attractiveness of 10 animated characters while another humorously explored the disparate stages of being high. Mirabella herself presented her predictions for how long her friends would survive in the Hunger Games (and how they’d meet their violent ends , seemingly a popular template for a PowerPoint party).

Such are the delights of PowerPoint presentation nights, which boomed in popularity during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic but are still charming partygoers (this, in spite of its regular use in corporate offices the world over). Through a silly slideshow, groups of friends get to know each other’s niche interests, secret pastimes and frequently hilarious takes on their friends’ quirks and strengths.

Seeing the people she loves get worked up over assigning each other Taylor Swift songs that match their personalities or fictional crimes that would land them in prison is a joy specific to slideshow-centric parties, Mirabella said.

“They’re so unserious,” she said of PowerPoint nights she’s attended and hosted. “Most of the time, people are left crying from laughing so hard, or bent over wheezing.”

PowerPoint parties got popular during the pandemic, but they’ve delighted friends for years

PowerPoint nights involve little more than an HDMI-compatible TV, a slideshow and a willingness to razz your friends or reveal your hidden passions. The software itself is nearly 40 years old , and it’s since become a staple in many offices and classrooms, but the ingenious PowerPoint party turns the familiar tech into a medium for comedy and comradery.

The concept of the PowerPoint party was formalized in 2012, when three students at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, hosted a “Drink, Talk & Learn” event. Guests of these early parties had to show up with a presentation on the arcane subject of their choice, like the moral alignment of Sonic the Hedgehog character Shadow, per Buzzfeed News .

The theme steadily grew more popular and by 2018, more PowerPoint enthusiasts in the US had caught on. Soon, everyone from software engineers in Seattle to students in Boston were presenting slides on hyper-specific subjects to a small crowd, often with a drink in hand.

In the Harvard Crimson’s account of one local PowerPoint party, a student presented his argument for why King Claudius is the true hero of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” a divisive take if there ever was one. The presenter told the school paper that his zeal for the topic had been relegated to “a rant to my friends up until now. Finally, I can present it to strangers.”

When Covid-19 arrived in 2020 and millions of Americans isolated in their homes, virtual PowerPoint parties became a safe, distanced way for friends to update each other on their lives and provide much-needed levity. Groups separated by the pandemic shared their screens on Zoom or even rallied their housemates to turn an ordinary night in isolation into an opportunity for a private TedTalk.

Tantalizing snippets from these presentations landed on TikTok (users rarely spill the juicy contents of the slideshows beyond their uproarious titles),  inspiring other users to host their own get-togethers. The subjects are typically zany, lighthearted takes on the idiosyncrasies of a group of friends — like how they’d each fare during a zombie apocalypse — and minor passions or dubious theories like the “real” (read: fictional) reason the dinosaurs died .

Since the party format took off in 2020 (and has since amassed over 40 million views on TikTok under related hashtags ), TikTok users have tested crafty new variations of the typical slideshow gathering and polled users on different platforms, like Reddit , for unique suggestions for presentations. Take the host who ambushed their guests by forcing them to present someone else’s PowerPoint on a subject they knew nothing about, like the hapless friend who bluffed their way through a presentation on how to pick stocks. A group in Philadelphia creates slideshows for their single friends to catch fellow singles’ attention. One creative TikTok-er even came out to their family in a PowerPoint on Christmas.

Though Microsoft PowerPoint software isn’t a requirement for these presentations — competing services like Prezi, Canva and Google Slides are also popular — Microsoft issued its own advice for hosting a premier PowerPoint party. Among its suggestions: Take advantage of those wacky transitions so photos can boomerang across the screen and titles can disappear with a click.

Since her cousins introduced her to PowerPoint parties during a sleepover eight months ago, Mirabella’s presentations have only improved in quality and theatricality. Her recent Hunger Games-themed slideshow included multimedia elements like Taylor Swift entering the fictional arena for a brief halftime performance to break up the bloodshed. Her friends voted it the best presentation of the night.
