Ink Replay in PowerPoint 365 for Mac

I can't replay inking in PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac.  I can do this in the PC version but there is no option in the Mac version (v 16.37 and it's as new as I can find)...using a Wacom tablet for both and I've tried both wired and Bluetooth connections.  I can ink and replay etc with no problems on the PC, but on the Mac I can ink, but the replay option isn't available in the ribbon.

Please tell me this isn't yet another feature which isn't available in the Mac version of Microsoft 365?  If that is the case, WHEN will it be?  (Looking up the feature on the Microsoft page says it IS available for this version!)

    Since you are asking for a new feature, please add this suggestion to the feature request site: 

    PowerPoint for Mac

    If you have PowerPoint for Mac installed on your computer.

    Hi

    Are you using a touch screen? Ink replay requires a touch screen.

    I have the same problem.

    I had already read the page you linked to - the instructions to turn on ink replay only work for a PC. I can see no ink replay option to turn on.

    As the OP noted, ink replay is apparently available on Mac (I'm using powerpoint 16.38). I'm logged in through a Microsoft 365 subscription, set as "office insider".

    I tried reinstalling my O365 apps

    Any other ideas?

    Hello,

    The Ink Replay feature is available for Mac and was released to Insider late last year. Please follow the steps listed under the PowerPoint: Apply an Ink Replay animation for a slide showsection in this support article.

    Thanks.
