Earlier this month, the Microsoft 365 team bestowed a new PowerPoint feature for Insiders in the way of Cameo, a formatting placeholder for video layouts and templates.
What is Cameo?
While not a widespread tool for most Microsoft 365 users, those who have access to Cameo will note it’s an experience that allows live camera feeds to be embedded into PowerPoint slides. The larger selling point of Cameo for PowerPoint is that users can make adjustments to their own level of customization that includes formatting, transitions, and themes all centered around live video.
How do I use Cameo in the Office 365 desktop version?
You can only use Slide Master view in PowerPoint for Windows and PowerPoint for Mac, so cameo placeholders can only be added to presentations on those platforms. After a cameo placeholder has been added to the layout, you can use the layout to add new slides with cameo in PowerPoint for the web.
How do I use Cameo in the Microsoft 365 web app?
Microsoft is rolling out its Cameo feature so it may not be readily available for all M365 Insiders all at once. Insiders should be on the lookout for build numbers2309 (16827.20278)for Windows platforms and16.77 (23082700)for MacOS platforms.
