Microsoft released a tool to create responsive presentations Sway
Today, Microsoft has officially made Sway available - a tool for creating responsive presentations that can be shared on the Internet and that will look equally attractive no matter what size they are displayed on the screen. Microsoft does not position Sway as a competitor to Power Point, but rather as an addition to it: Sway-presentations look very similar to modern websites with dynamic content and all sorts of effects, while the traditional Power Point should remain the lot of internal business solutions. An example of Sway-presentation can be viewed at this link .
Microsoft first talked about Sway in mid-November 2014. Now, along with the release of Windows 10, the application has become officially available for this platform. In addition to the desktop version, Sway is available as a web version in Office 365 within a business subscription and a subscription for educational institutions. Despite the obvious orientation, including for mobile platforms, Sway so far can only be downloaded for iOS: there is no Android version. The fact that Sway is unavailable and for Windows Phone can probably be explained by the fact that it should be replaced by Windows Mobile 10 in the near future.
The method of creating a presentation in Sway is practically no different from Power Point: the author writes some text, adds normal and background images, YouTube videos, Facebook and Twitter posts, charts or diagrams. Elements of the presentation can add animations and interactivity - an example can be viewed here (the presentation can be distributed as iframe code, which, unfortunately, is deleted by the Geektimes parser).
You can work on the project together via the Internet, and publish the resulting result by setting the appropriate privacy settings. Microsoft guarantees that the resulting result will be attractively displayed on any device with any screen size: you can make sure of this with the help of special wizards. Microsoft chief marketer David Alexander (David Alexander) comments on this: “Most of the other similar tools work on the WYSIWYG principle (what you see is what you get), here the principle is different - WYGIWYW (what you get is what you wanted - you will get , What would you like)".
