Insert header and footer
Since I want to work together with other people I use PowerPoint Online. I ran in to a problem with headers and footers on the slides. According to the help you need to copy a textbox onto each slide.

Create a "Share as Slideshow" link option (without full HTML of embed code)
With the recent change to open share links in Edit mode, if you want to send to a recipient to just play a slideshow, the recipient must then click to play the deck after opening it.
In many cases, we want to the recipient to jump right into the slideshow mode.
Embed code is similar, but comes with the additional HTML for the iFrame. If we just want to send the link via Teams, Skype or email, this is overkill.
We'd like the Share option in PowerPoint to have an option to "open as slideshow" or "share as slideshow," so…

Insert Slide Numbers
There is a support article for slide numbers saying that the supported way to do slide numbers is to make them manually. Support for this, even if it's as basic as the support in Google Slides, would be very useful.

It would be nice to also have a Presenter view while using PowerPoint Online. It is the only way for us to easily view notes while presenting.

URLs to open specific slides (deep links)
It would be extremely useful to send a link with parameters and have PowerPoint online jump directly to the specified slide. I understand that means each slide would potentially require a GUID incase ordering etc changed.

Support More Slide Themes
Add more themes to be able to make your PowerPoint look better. Even my PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2010 has more themes than PowerPoint Online. That's pretty bad.

More Animations
I am using PowerPoint as a tool to have my students generate custom animations of biological processes. By adding the functionality of custom motion paths, looping and multiple animations per object (vis a vis the animation pane) the online version could better match the desktop version and projects like this could be completed on a wider array of devices, like chromebooks.

Custom Template
Is there a way to load a custom template into PowerPoint online? I tried launching a .potx file directly from my onedrive, but it won't let me it edit the file online. The only option is to edit the file in the locally installed version of PowerPoint. It would be nice if PowerPoint online recognized that that a .potx file was launched and automatically created a .pptx file in the main folder of my onedrive. Or, better yet, create a way for admins to upload a .potx file so that it shows up along with the MS default templates when…

Support custom fonts
Provide the ability to use different type (fonts). Our corporate deck does not use standard typefaces. There should be a way to use different typefaces in the online tools.
