This add-in makes it easier for you to use emojis in your presentations. It’s really easy to use this plugin to add emojis. There are over 1300 emojis to choose from. You can add emojis either as text or as images in different sizes. This plugin is a must-have if you frequently use emojis in your presentations. This plugin was created by Patrick Buergin, who you can find on Twitter.
Icons by Noun Project
This app for PowerPoint lets you choose from a massive collection of high-quality icons and add them to your presentation with just a click. To try out this template, you do not even need to sign up. The icons are all of good quality. However, sadly, only 100 free icons are available without subscribing to their pro plan. I think that’s too little. There should have been more free icons available. But other than that, this is a solid plugin.
The plugin can be used without signing up and is very easy to use. It’s 100% worth the money if you decide to purchase the pro plan. Download this app for PowerPoint using the link above.
Premast Plus
This is a handy PowerPoint add-in that you can use to quickly add presentation templates, photos, and GIFs in a few clicks. With a simple sign-up procedure (they don’t even ask you to confirm your email ID), you’ll be able to use the plugin right away. There are many free icons, images, GIFs from Giphy, shapes, and templates that you can use right away. Some of these are only available once you get a subscription. But overall, this is a solid plugin.
Solid plugin, with no hassle sign up. Lots of icons, graphics, and templates to choose from.
Wooclap
This add-in lets you turn your presentations into an interactive and dynamic learning platform. It’s great for adding multiple choice questions, polls, fill in the blanks, questionnaires and so much more. This is great for teachers who are looking to make their presentations more interactive and engaging. After a quick sign-up, you can create events on their website, which will automatically load into your slides when you select them. Overall, it’s very easy to use, but the first time I used it I was a little confused. So not the most user friendly add-in I should say. But once I figured stuff out, things became so much easier.
Great add-in for classroom interactive presentations.
Mentimeter – Interactive Presentations
This is another add-in that helps you create interactive slides. I remember a similar add-in being used in a meeting I attended a few years ago.
