Doug Thomas used to review movies and rent you--or your parents--VHS tapes. After working a few months at Microsoft, he had an idea
to get other people to create videos about Office. That idea turned into a new job of creating videos and training content for Support.Office.com
including the Office 15-Minute Webinars and his current series, Doug from Office. However, none of his videos are on VHS. In this conversation, Doug
talks about his session at the upcoming Presentation Summit 2017 in Clearwater Beach, FL.

Trim Audio Clips
Once you insert an audio clip into your presentation, you may find that it is too long, or there may be parts in the clip that you don't want the
audiences to hear. Or, maybe you just need a small bit to play, like the sound of that trumpet blowing! Although you can scrub the clip using the
Player Controls bar to ascertain where you want the clip to begin and end, that option may become monotonous and inaccurate. Additionally, it
also looks very unprofessional if you try scrubbing an audio clip right in front of your audience. Fortunately, PowerPoint's Trim Audio option
can make this easy for you. Follow these steps to explore how you can trim an audio clip right inside PowerPoint 2016.
Format Tab for Audio Clips
When you select an inserted audio clip in PowerPoint 2016, you see two contextual Audio Tools tabs: Format and Playback. Once you explore the
options within the Format tab, you'll wonder why there are options to adjust, arrange, resize, and apply picture styles. Also, why does
PowerPoint provide picture format options for an audio clip? That's because an audio clip is represented by a sound icon. When you select the
sound icon, the Player Controls bar is activated. Clearly, there’s so much to explore and learn.
Animating Slide Objects While Media is Playing
You have a 5-minute video or audio clip playing on your slide. And exactly after the clip has played for 30 seconds, you want some text to appear
superimposed over the video clip. Alternatively, you may want to show other objects on the slide while your audio clip is playing. All this
while, the original audio or video clip should continue playing. How do you achieve this result?
Open and Close Options in Backstage View
When you click the File menu and access Backstage view in PowerPoint 2016, several options appear. On this page, we explore two of those
options: Open and Close.

Leadership Challenges of AI in the Workplace
Technological changes are defining the world of 21st-century business. They are also prompting questions about the future of work and how we can
navigate to the ‘next horizon’. How businesses respond to these challenges and exploit the benefits of smart technologies, such as artificial
intelligence (AI), will be a key contributor to success going forward. Roles that have been traditionally thought of as requiring a high-level
human intellect are now being automated – thanks to AI. Whilst this undoubtedly boosts efficiency, decision makers must be mindful of how this
may impact brand identity and user experience.
