Idea for a new shape: Forked arrow
Often I want to make a comment about two or more things, so it would be useful to have a ready-made forked arrow with two or more arrow tips that can be positioned independently of each other so I can point to each object. The arrow has one stem. I can put a text box at the end of the stem and write a comment about both objects at the same time. I know I could create this forked arrow byputting several shapes together, but comparing two or more things is quite a common task, and it could be useful…

default options for audio (hidden icon) and for transitiona (automatic)
in PowerPoint I would like all the audio that I record in each slide to have the same characteristics (1) the icon is hidden during the presentation (2) the transition of the slide is automatic every time the audio ends; I can do it every single slide but I wish they were chosen by default and I wasn't forced to do all those steps on each slide; it's possible? thanks

Text Box Handles to grab box to move so do not grab wrong box (instead of side of box)
HWen a box is too clode to or on top of another box it is difficult to grab the right box - sometimes you have to move one. If each box has its own handle (and they are like magnets that cannot be on top of eachother) so you grab the handle instead of the side of the box. SO it is a square with a handle like a frying pan.

Allow animations on objects to activate upon slide transition
It would be cool if when you transitioned to the next slide, you could set an object to animate and appear automatically, instead of pressing the arrow key again. Maybe something like Options > Activate > Upon Slide Transition.

Allow the option to change default pictures folder in PowerPoint
Unlike Word, where we can change the default pictures folder for users, there is no such option available in PowerPoint. I have noticed making changes registry also does not have any effect in latest versions of PPT. Please allow this function, as it would benefits a lot of companies to direct their users to go directly to a folder with all brand approved images from within PowerPoint (just like in Word)

Add option to use OneNote for Windows 10
Features like linked notes are very useful, however I use OneNote for Windows 10, not OneNote 2016. I know Microsoft is in the midst of transitioning back to OneNote 2016, but it would be nice to support both until all features are added.

Display Results of MS Forms in real-time
Currently if you insert an MS Forms the PPT Displays the Questions but not the submitted answers. It would be great to show the results of the submitted answers in real-time as I present.

Allow screen to move along while dragging the scroll slider
Hi Powerpoint team,
In Words and Excel, whenever I drag the scroll slider, the screen moves along instantly. But in Powerpoint, the screen stays there when I drag the slider, only move when I release the mouse button. I first thought this is a bug and posted this in Microsoft Community forum in this post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/screen-doesnt-follow-while-dragging-scrolling-bar/e46c64f4-322d-4bea-aae5-f0eff7892b32?tm=1586264747462
Then a MS agent told me to come here and propose the idea. Please consider this. Thanks in advance!

New Smart Art: DIALOGUES
Speech Bubbles have been available for a long time and help highlight what a single person says. But what about a conversation? Adapting current Smart Art options to this need are ineffective. This is the current process for making a conversation in Office:
Create a Speech Bubble.
Input text.
Edit appearance (shape, size, color, shadow, etc.)
Move into position.
Copy.
Paste.
Edit text.
Resize to fit new text.
Move into position.
Adjust callout pointer direction and location.
Repeat 5-10 for each Speech Bubble.
Select all Speech Bubbles from one speaker and change the color (to more easily distinguish speaker).
This…

Keep Sideboxes 'Sticky' from Slide to Slide
I find myself collating lots of others' presentations into one cohesive-looking whole, which means I have to adjust the positions of a lot of text boxes, pictures, etc., from slide to slide.
I right-click on an object, select "Size and Position", and the "FORMAT SHAPE" task pane appears on my right. I make the adjustment on my object, and go to the next slide.
The Format Shape task pane is still there, but it's reverted back to the "Fill" menu. So I have to click "Size and Properties" again, and frequently have to click the dropdown again.
It seems to…

'Present' to Skype/Teams/Zoom
When running a teleconference, it would be great if I could share my presentation in presenter view - treating the Web like an external projector. I know with Zoom I can select which window gets shared, but it's not foolproof.
