Hi,
Im running Office 365 2016 on a new MacBook 13 Pro touch bar, under Sierra 10.12.1. Im faced with a flickering screen when running a powerpoint presentation in presentation mode. So far I've tried just about every thing, even wiping the entire disc and reinstalling all software (just to make sure there was no garbage left form my old Mac). The flickering issue seems only to occur in PP and more specific in the presentation mode. When running the same presentation in keynote (by opening the .pptx file) the issue does not occur. At this point it seems to be isolated to MS Office - PP.
Has anybody encountered something similar? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
Thanks for your patience. It looks like this issue has been fixed in macOS Sierra version 10.12.4 Beta 2. Let us know if you continue to run into any problems. And thanks for helping us troubleshoot this!

Apple released 10.12.4 yesterday. This release should include the fix for the screen flickering issue. If folks could update and then confirm back on this thread if that is indeed the case, that would be great.
Thanks so much,
Amy M.
Hey Rohit,
I see that you are using Sierra 10.12.4 which may be the problem. I have Sierra 10.12.5 Beta which alleviated the problem. Here is the link: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1918?locale=en\_US
Hope this helps!
Hi Amy, am on Sierra 10.12.4 and the latest update of office 365 and guess the problem is still not solved. Opening any deck in presentation mode results in the screen flickering.
On a parallel note, guess this issue is in some ways connected to the brightness of the screen as well. Read one community member suggesting this that when the brightness is set to less than 50% or so, the issue does not occur. I could second that.
Thanks for some insights,
Rohit.
Glad to hear that the screen flickering issue is resolved!
Thank you for reporting the crash issue when pressing Presenter View on the Touch Bar. I will pass this along to the product team. Stay tuned!
