In PowerPoint, you can use email to send your presentation to others. You can send your presentation as an attachment, a link, or as a PDF file.

Important: You won't be able to email your presentation directly from PowerPoint on a Windows RT PC. Instead, you can open an email program, create your email, and attach the presentation to it.

If the presentation you're planning to send through email contains audio or video files, do one or both of the following:

  1. Select File > Share > Email

  2. Under Email, select one of the following:

    • Send as PowerPoint Presentation (attachment) to attach your presentation to an email message.

    • Send a Link to create an email that contains a link to your presentation.

      Note: To Send a Link, you must save your presentation in a shared location, such as a SharePoint document library that your recipients have permission to access, or OneDrive.

    • Send as PDF to save your presentation as a Portable Document Format (.pdf) file, and then attach the PDF file to an email message. For more information about PDF files, see File formats that are supported in PowerPoint.
