For some reason it can be handy to have the time available on the sheets you are presenting. Maybe you want to know your progress of even make your audience aware of the time. There is a simple build-in function to present a clock on every slide.

To use PowerPoint’s built-in function, open the PowerPoint presentation you will be working with and head over to the “Insert” tab.

Find the “Text” section and select “Date & Time.”

Once selected, the “Header and Footer” window will appear. Here, check the box next to “Date and time” and select “Update automatically.” This will allow the date and time to update each time you change slides.

Make the setup changes you need and insert the clock.

The time and date that appears is the same as your system’s clock, so make sure it’s set correctly
