Will my animations actually work, or will they get stripped out?

Animations are preserved in native .pptx upload — entrance effects, transitions, and builds all play as authored.

What happens to my speaker notes?

They appear in your presenter view synced to whichever slide is on stage, visible only to you.

What if my slides look different after upload?

Sequel reads the .pptx natively, which preserves fonts, colors, and layout fidelity better than conversion-based approaches. If you're seeing rendering issues, the most common cause is non-standard fonts not embedded in the file. We recommend embedding fonts before export. Our support team can help you troubleshoot specific files.

Can I use overlays and interactive tools with my PowerPoint slides on stage?

Yes. Polls, CTAs, Q&A, and chat all run alongside your PowerPoint deck. Bringing native slides on stage doesn't disable any of Sequel's interactive layer — it runs on top.

Is PowerPoint integration available on all plans?

It's available on Enterprise plans. If you're on a different plan and want to evaluate this feature, talk to your account team or request a demo.

What file types does this support?

The integration accepts native .pptx files (PowerPoint format). PDF slide uploads are handled separately through Sequel's existing document upload.

Can I still screen share if I want to?

Yes. Screen sharing is still available in Sequel. For most presenters, native .pptx upload will produce a better experience — cleaner visuals, no bandwidth strain, speaker notes on stage. But if your use case calls for screen sharing, that option stays.

Integration

PowerPoint + Sequel

Upload your .pptx directly and your animations play, your speaker notes appear, and nothing gets rebuilt or downgraded in the process.

Your PowerPoint slides. On stage. The way you built them.

Screen sharing was never the right answer for your best decks.

Most webinar platforms flatten your slides into images the moment you upload them, so animations disappear, fonts shift, and you can't trust your deck will show up the way you designed it. Sequel's PowerPoint integration changes that.

What native .pptx upload preserves

Four things survive the upload that a conversion step would cost you:

Native .pptx upload. Sequel reads your file natively, with no conversion to PDF or Google Slides, so what you built is what your audience sees.
Animation preservation. Every entrance, transition, and build plays exactly as designed, so decks that rely on reveals to tell a story keep that story intact.
Speaker notes on stage. Your notes appear synced to the current slide during the live session, so you need no second screen.
Overlay compatibility. Polls, CTAs, and chat still run alongside your slides, so native PowerPoint doesn't cost you the interactive layer that makes Sequel events worth attending.

Enterprise plan availability

PowerPoint integration is built for Enterprise teams running polished, repeatable programs — product launches, quarterly webinar series, executive briefings — where presenter confidence isn't optional.

Built for the programs that can't afford a bad first impression

The customers running the most demanding event programs on Sequel — Cato Networks, Athenahealth, Rimkus, and HealthStream — aren't tolerating workarounds. They're running webinars that generate thousands of registrations. Presentation quality is part of that equation.
