Faster playback comes to Microsoft Stream videos
Microsoft Stream lets people in your organization upload, view, and share videos securely. You can share recordings of classes, meetings, presentations, training sessions, or other videos that your team needs. We previously enabled Stream as one of the supported online video sources in PowerPoint. Over the last few months, we’ve made significant performance improvements to the video playback experience. Now you’ll experience faster playback of Stream videos in your PowerPoint presentations.

PowerPoint
Use your Surface Earbuds to control your PowerPoint presentations
If you forget your clicker or don’t want to use, your Surface earbuds have you covered. You can swipe forward and backward on the left earbud to navigate your presentation when it is in Slide Show mode. You can play or pause videos embedded in your presentation by double tapping.
How it works:
Once paired, you’ll need to enable the feature in PowerPoint.
- Start a presentation by pressing F5 or selecting Slide Show > From Beginning.
- In Slide Show, right click on the slide and under Surface Earbuds Settings escolher Use Gestures to Control Presentation. This setting will be remembered for all future presentations.
