Custom Skills in Copilot for PowerPoint

PowerPoint for the web users with Microsoft 365 Copilot can now create their own reusable Copilot skills for tasks they repeat.

  • Create one from the Copilot pane with Create custom skill, then run it inside any presentation.
  • Custom skills run inside Microsoft 365's existing security and compliance controls.
  • Available in PowerPoint for the web.
