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.

Presentation Analytics
PowerPoint Online Tracking and Analytics Capabilities
I would love to share a PowerPoint Document with a client and be able to answer a few questions right off the bat like, did they open it? How long did they stay on a specific slide? Did they download it, print it or share it forward? We can do this starting with PowerPoint Online and ultimately with the entire Suite as a whole.
We can use this information to improve how we present to them in the future.

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.

Add and expiry date so presentations can't be used after that date
It would be great to be able to set a date that presentation cannot be view after - effectively a time bomb
6 votesYou can do this today directly from PowerPoint Online “Share” feature. If you click to the link settings and choose “Anyone with the link,” you will see an option to set an expiration date on the file access. Let us know if that helps!

Right-click to SAVE specific graphic image as .PNG or .JPG or .SVG
This is an extremely useful feature when using PowerPoint to mash-up and label images for use in another application (e.g. making online learning objects within a LMS).

Comment only permissions
Now we have two types of links first for "view only" and second for "edit".
It is useful to create "comment only" link, like in google drive.
So someone with this link can view file, can't edit, but can comment file throw default review and comments options.23 votesGood suggestions. Word Online currently allows this and we will take in under review for PPT.

Add more SmartArts
One day I wanted to make my own family tree using SmartArt, but I couldn't add anymore boxes with lines to show who was related to who. I would also like if you could add a title (that you can delete) along with the text, so I could say the person's name and in the text, I could put their information in it (birth, education, relation to me, etc.).
8 votes“Text to SmartArt” Feature will be enabled on SharePoint first and later on OneDrive and other Hosts.

Support Ruler and Guidelines
It is helpful to have guidelines and ruler as like the desktop to ensure text/images/shapes are centered correctly

Animate object to show outline of an object being drawn. Similar concept to whiteboarding (refer to VideoScribe)

Add more communication to WOPI Power Point postMessage protocol
Currently, PowerPoint Online embedded through WOPI offers really small amount of communication between iframe and main sirte where iframe is embedded. It would be really good that js postMessage from WOPI PowerPoint iframe sends messages like 'UICurrentSlide', 'UIFullScreen', and receives messages lie 'GoNextSlide', 'GoPreviousSlide', 'StartPresentation', 'GoFullScreen' and similar. I think this would greatly improve embedding PowerPoint Online into other sites.

Import/Export Keynote presentations
Allow importing/exporting of Keynote presentations into PowerPoint. Keynote has done this for years. It would be nice if it was reciprocal.

Add "Delete" to the right-click menu.
Because cut, paste and copy are already in the menu, but delete isn't. I just think it would be a good idea.

Take notes in slideshow or reading view
I believe you should be able to take notes on the side while watching the power point without taking it out of slideshow

Import Word into Powerpoint
You've created Sway which takes too long. Powerpoint can do the same thing if you would allow the word doc to be copied into poperpoint and let the user create the slides from the document.

Copy text from viewer (aka, preview mode)
I have shared a presentation with some co workers. When they view the presentation they need the ability to select and copy text from a slide. However, when they click the slide to make a selection it changes to the next slide.

Notes master
I have to adjust my settings/features every time I move from one slide to the next. For example when taking notes, every time i go to the next slide I have to choose the bullet point format before writing.
