Microsoft Garage releases the Social Share, a plugin to share PowerPoint slide to social media


Microsoft Garage releases the Social Share

The experimental applications developer team from Microsoft, Garage, has created a series of interesting applications for various platforms. Most of applications are intended to enhance the users' productivity, with the mission of helping users to complete their daily tasks more efficiently.

One of the latest works of Microsoft Garage is Social Share, a plugin for PowerPoint software that can be downloaded for free. As the name implies, the function of the Social Share is to help users to distribute the presentation slide that has been made to the Facebook and Twitter with ease.

The presentation slide can be given in the form of photos or videos. If you select a video, then the whole object animations and transition of each page will be retained. Or if you want to save bandwidth, then you can collect each slide into a photo album.

At the same time, the Social Share will also add an extra sidebar in PowerPoint. The sidebar is useful for displaying slides that you have shared, complete with comments left by your colleagues in related social media.

If the photos are still not enough, the Social Share will also upload the PowerPoint slide that you have made to OneDrive automatically. Furthermore, you can simply share a link to the file to colleagues.

Overall, the Social Share is created to facilitate the distribution process of PowerPoint presentation slide to a larger scope: Social Media. Once shared, users can still monitor the feedback received without having to switch applications - everything is still in PowerPoint.

If PowerPoint is an important part of your job, you can download the Social Share plugin for free through officesocialshare.azurewebsites.net.
