Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by Microsoft as part of its Microsoft Office suite. It allows users to create slideshow presentations consisting of text, images, videos, and other objects that can be displayed on-screen or printed. PowerPoint has tools for inserting tables, charts, graphics, and other media and formatting slide layouts, as well as tools for animating and transitioning between slides during a live presentation. The main components of the PowerPoint interface include the ribbon, which contains tabs for commonly used tools, and the Microsoft Office button for creating new presentations or accessing recently opened ones.
