Three new tutorial videos created to help you get started with Office Mix!
A couple of days ago, the Office Mix Team announced that they have created a new "first run" experience to welcome new users to Office Mix and help them get started using the PowerPoint add-in.
Now, when you first download and install the Office Mix add-in and then open PowerPoint for the first time, an interactive panel opens on the right-hand side of the screen where you’re presented with three buttons that each play a Quick Start Video tutorial. Additionally, you’re offered an option to “Create Your First Mix,” which opens the Getting Started template. As you’ll discover, the interactive panel is resizable and can be undocked, which permits you to move to split-screen mode and follow in-step with the tutorial’s instructions.
The tutorials include “What is Office Mix,” “Screen Recording” and “Publish and Share.” There's also an easy way for you to “Create Your First Mix.” At the moment, these Quick Start Video tutorials launch in a separate browser window to play, however soon you will be able to watch them directly within PowerPoint! And in coming months, the Office Mix Team will be adding more tutorials!
