If you don’t see the orange Connect to Microsoft button, complete the instructions in this support article to connect your Microsoft account
Please Note: If the pop-up Microsoft window displays a checkbox for permissions, you must check the box for Carousel to gain access to your Microsoft account
After connecting your Microsoft account to Carousel Cloud, you will then choose which Microsoft PowerPoint file you want to display in Carousel Cloud by clicking Choose a Presentation and then selecting it from the drop-down menu
After selecting the Microsoft PowerPoint file you want to display, you can simply hit the orange Publish button in the upper right corner of the Microsoft PowerPoint bulletin screen. The Microsoft PowerPoint bulletin creation process is complete!
