Send messages to attendees

Notify your participants during trainings or workshops about important stuff.



Performance improvements during a presentation

We have made a lot of optimizations so during your presentations questions, poll votes and all other information is more up to date!



Better handling of bad internet connection

Having a bad internet connection during your presentation means SlideLizard's interactive features like live polls, won't work. However, previously it was not always visible for the presenter when the internet connection failed. Now it's displayed directly in the presenter screen, so the speaker is aware and can resolve the issue.




Deletion of presentations

Whether it was just for testing or due to private data: finally, you can delete your presentations on SlideLizard!



Custom text for GDPR conform E-Mail collection

If you are giving presentations in the EU and want to collect E-Mail addresses of your participants, you need to get their explicit consent to send them further E-Mails. Since it's completely up to you what you want to do with the E-Mails (e.g. send offers or newsletters, …), you can now completely customize the opt-in text for your attendees.





Enjoy!


To update the SlideLizard PowerPoint Add-In, just open PowerPoint and you'll get an update dialog.

.pot file extension

A .pot file is a legacy PowerPoint template format used to define reusable styles, layouts, and formatting for presentations. Like its successor .potx, it allows teams to create multiple presentations that share the same visual identity without starting from scratch each time. The .pot format was replaced by .potx in Office 2007, which introduced an open XML-based structure for improved compatibility.

Motivational Presentation

A motivational presentation is designed to inspire, energize, and encourage the audience to pursue a goal or embrace a change. It relies on storytelling, emotional resonance, and vivid examples to create personal relevance and shift the audience's mindset. Motivational presentations are used at company kick-offs, leadership events, team rallies, and public speaking engagements. Their effectiveness depends heavily on the authenticity and energy of the presenter.

AI Guardrails

AI guardrails are controls and constraints built into an AI system to limit what it can do, access, or produce. They define the boundaries of autonomous behavior: preventing an agent from accessing unauthorized data, generating off-brand content, or taking irreversible actions without approval. In enterprise environments, guardrails work alongside human-in-the-loop checkpoints to ensure that Agentic AI automation delivers efficiency without compromising security, brand integrity, or regulatory compliance.

Closed Questions

Closed questions are questions that can be answered with a limited set of responses — most commonly a simple 'yes' or 'no', or a selection from predefined options. They are used to gather specific, factual information quickly and efficiently. In presentations and training settings, closed questions are useful for gauging audience understanding, confirming agreement, or running quick polls. While efficient, they offer little depth and should be balanced with open-ended questions when richer feedback or discussion is needed.
