Introduction

Browse your company’s approved logos, icons, and photos right inside PowerPoint—no need to search elsewhere. We're introducing Brand Images in PowerPoint to help users easily access company-approved logos, icons, and photos directly within the app. This feature streamlines brand compliance and saves time by eliminating the need to search for assets externally.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 509111.
