2. Launching PowerPoint on your Devices

To launch PowerPoint on your device, you can search for the application in your installed software packages by typing 'PowerPoint' in the search bar in Windows or Finder on MacOS, and clicking on the application Icon, if you are going to use it frequently you could pin it to the taskbar and then launch it from there. This will open the desktop version on your Laptop, PC or MacBook.

On a mobile device such as Android and iOS you can search for it in you installed apps and launch it by clicking the icon, and this will open the application on your mobile device.

To use the online version of the application, you should open a web-browser on your device and navigate to Microsoft 365. Once there, sign in with your student or staff credentials (student-id@live.blackburn.ac.uk, or staff-id@blackburn.ac.uk) and your password.
