#Office365Challenge – Office Mix. OMW!!!! Where has this been all my life?!! Thanks to Craig Tarr for sharing this gem with me. So…. what’s Office Mix you may ask?

Office Mix is a free add-in for PowerPoint (2013 / Office 365). It’s “Everything you need to easily create and share interactive online videos”. It includes the following:
Voice, Video & Digital Ink
Polls & Interactive Apps
Insights & Analytics
Playback On Any Device

This is just an introductory blog, over the next couple of days I’ll share some “How To’s”. For now, go to the Office Mix Site to download this Add-in.

In PowerPoint (now officially know as SuperPowerPoint), you’ll notice the new tab on your Ribbon:

What you’ll see here is:

Slide Recording
Quizzes
Screen Recording
Screenshot
Insert Video
Insert Audio
Preview
Upload to Office Mix
My Mixes
Export to Video
Publish to O365 Video
Using Mix
Send Feedback
Get Support
Update Office Mix

I’ll be covering the basics listed above over the next couple of days. I’m super excited to start using this Add-in.

Happy PowerPointing

Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.

Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
