Installing the Add-In
After downloading, we strongly recommend extracting the installer file from the downloaded ZIP before running the installer. On some operating systems, failing to extract the ZIP may cause the installer to partially fail (though you will not see an error message). See a helpful 90-second video tutorial on installing.
For troubleshooting help with installation of the add-in, click here.
Note: Make sure PowerPoint is closed before attempting to install the add-in.
Verifying installation success
If the installation process was successful, you will see a new “Conferences i/o” tab in PowerPoint’s menu ribbon. If you don't see the new menu choice, try closing all open windows of PowerPoint and then re-open PowerPoint.
Updating the Add-In
From time to time, Conferences i/o will release new versions of our Add-In. When a new version is available, you will see an "Update Available" icon in the Conferences i/o ribbon. This button will direct you to the latest Add-In downloads.
Tip! If you need to determine which version of the Conferences i/o Windows PowerPoint Add-In is installed on your PC, click Help in the Conferences i/o ribbon.
