The software giant’s goal was to protect against competition from video conferencing rivals such as Zoom. Also, advancements in specialized presentation platform such as Prezi.

Microsoft initially announced the Cameo feature for PowerPoint Live in September 2021. It was later available for members of the Office Insider for preview at the beginning of 2022. It will be available to all customers by the end of August.

Cameo allows you to conveniently insert live camera feeds into your slides as part of your presentation. If you want to provide your viewers with a more immersive experience, then you would appreciate this feature. Cameo will also assist you in being more prepared and engaging during your live presentations.

You can move, resize, crop, and add transitions or styles to the camera feed just like any other image. Cameo ensures that will have complete control over live camera feeds in PowerPoint.

Cameo for PowerPoint Live is focused on presentation-oriented updates for Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft recently introduced a new “collaborative annotation” feature aimed to increase interaction. It is also an upgrade that provides presenters with more granular video capabilities.

Although virtual presentations will continue to be a hassle for many users. Microsoft hopes that these latest Teams improvements will definitely reduce some of the annoyances.
