There is a new presentation tool from the folks over at Microsoft which is known as Office Sway, and this is actually a modern version of what we are used to calling as PowerPoint. The thing is, Office Sway is slightly different, as it has been designed for story telling instead. Available in the form of a web preview since October last year as well as in the form of an iPhone app, Office Sway sashayed its way into additional countries not too long ago, so that more folks will be able to give it a go and see what it is all about. While the first preview was rather basic in nature, it seems that Microsoft has already updated it with additional features.
Some of the improvements and additions made by Microsoft engineers do include the likes of Bing Images and Suggested Search integration, making Sway your one stop station for just about everything required when it comes to making a memorable presentation. Apart from that, the company has also announced at least a couple of new features that would make Sway all the more convenient and easy-to-use.
One of them would be the ability to embed media from sources apart from Bing, which means content from the likes of Vimeo, Vine, Youtube, Flickr, and SoundCloud are now fair game. Excel charts, PowerPoint slides and PDF content are also able to be displayed. [Press Release]
