PowerPoint Live adds the ability to reload updated presentations during meetings

What and Why: PowerPoint Live presenters will soon be able to refresh their presentation during a live meeting to load the latest version of the deck without restarting the presentation. This improvement helps presenters stay aligned with last-minute updates and reduces meeting disruption, supporting personal and team productivity by keeping everyone in sync in real time. Rollout Schedule: Targeted Release (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late May 2026 and expect to complete by late May 2026. General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early June 2026 and expect to complete by mid-June 2026. Impact on Your Organization: Who is affected: Users who present content using PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams meetings. Platforms/Services: Microsoft Teams (PowerPoint Live) What will happen: Presenters will see a new one‑click option during a PowerPoint Live session to reload the latest saved version of the presentation. Selecting the button reloads the latest saved version of the presentation. Screenshot: Select the refresh button to reload your PowerPoint deck and present the latest updates: The presentation continues without needing to stop and restart sharing. The feature is available by default; no admin configuration is required. Action Required / Recommendations: No action is required. Consider notifying presenters and helpdesk staff about this enhancement. Compliance Considerations: The feature reloads the most recent version of an existing PowerPoint file during a live presentation but does not introduce new storage locations or retention behaviors.
