Screen flickering in Powerpoint presentation on new MacBook Pro 13 Touch Bar

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!

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.

    Fernando, you are correct.  When in presentation mode and press "Presenter View" on the touch bar, it crashes.  Not good, but in reality, not a big problem for me.  I am happy that the flickering is gone

    Amy,

    It looks that flickering is gone after the new version of Sierra, 10.12.4 but there is a new issue> When in presentation mode, press "Presenter View" on the touch bar, it crashes. 

    Regards, Fernando
