The Status Bar

PowerPoint Online may be only a web app that runs in your browser, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft from making it so full-featured that it includes almost all interface elements typically found in desktop programs, including a Status bar! Let us explore both the Status Bar as a whole and individual options within this Status Bar.

The Status Bar is a thin strip located at the bottom of the PowerPoint Online interface as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1. This area provides information about the active slide, and also provides several View options.
