PowerPoint is a presentation tool you can use to explain your complex theories in the simplest form. Using the app’s various tools, you can integrate graphs, pictures, and many media files into your presentation for easy understanding. The Microsoft PowerPoint app is available on mobile/PC, but it’s not available for Roku devices.
However, you can access its files on your Roku via screen mirroring as an alternative approach. If you want to know how to do it, then the following section will explain how.
