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.

Same issue here. Turning the brightness up to 100% using the touch bar fixed it for me at one point. Turning the brightness back down didn't bring back the flickering.
Kindly keep us all looped in once an update is available for the above problem.
I am facing the same problem.

I will when I hear something back from Microsoft. Last I heard was they are still investigating and no fix, update, patch planned at this time
