Quick summary

This demo shows you how to add screenshots to a PowerPoint presentation using the built-in Screenshot tool in the Insert tab. You can capture a full available window or use Screen Clipping to select a specific area of your screen.

Steps

Click the Screenshot button located in the Images group.
Choose a capture method: select an Available Window to insert a full window screenshot, or click Screen Clipping to manually select a region of your screen.

📌 Why this matters

Inserting screenshots directly into PowerPoint eliminates the need for third-party tools or manual copy-paste workflows. PowerPoint's built-in Screenshot feature lets users capture any open window or a custom screen region in seconds, keeping presentations accurate and up to date. This saves time during report creation, training material development, and client presentations. Knowing how to use Screen Clipping and Available Windows gives presenters precise control over the visuals they embed.
