📌 Why this matters
Making backgrounds transparent lets you layer slides creatively, overlay text on images without blocky color interference, and create professional-looking presentations with visual depth. You can build complex layouts by stacking transparent elements, which is especially valuable when combining multiple design elements or creating custom templates. This technique also helps when you need slides to blend seamlessly with projected backgrounds or when presenting over video calls where your slide background might clash with your virtual background or meeting interface.
