Are there any plans to support PowerPoint Content Add-Ins within PowerPoint Live?

My undestanding is that content add-ins are not supported within PowerPoint Live, is that correct?

Are there any plans to add support for this? If not, what should content add-in developers do in terms of roadmap planning?

This page does not mention PowerPoint Live at all, as far as I can tell:

Hi @Aaron Lifshin,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding PowerPoint Content Add-Ins and their compatibility with PowerPoint Live.

After reviewing the available information, I can confirm that PowerPoint Content Add-Ins are not currently supported in PowerPoint Live (the presentation experience in Microsoft Teams). This is a current product limitation, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to your workflow or plans.

Your observation is very insightful and highlights a real need for many developers and organizations. We truly appreciate you bringing this up. It helps us understand what matters most to our customers. While we cannot provide a timeline for this capability today, your feedback can directly influence future improvements.

While I wish I could offer a built-in solution right now, the best path forward is to continue advocating for this feature. I strongly encourage submitting this idea through the Microsoft 365 Feedback Hub. The Teams product team actively reviews suggestions there, and the more voices behind a request, the more likely it is to be prioritized.

To submit your feedback to the Feedback Hub:

    PowerPoint Live currently focuses on presenting slides and live collaboration; it does not support running or hosting content add-ins inside the live session. Microsoft has not announced public plans to enable content add-ins within PowerPoint Live, and there is no official roadmap published for this capability.

    What to do now if you’re a content-add-in developer:

    • Plan for two delivery modes: the standard PowerPoint experience (desktop) and separate web/Live experiences where add-ins run outside the Live presenter surface.
    • Build for offline or standalone use in PowerPoint desktop or PowerPoint Online, and provide clear fallbacks or links when presenting via Live.
    • Monitor the official docs and developer forums for any announcements; subscribe to relevant product/SDK update channels to catch any changes early.

    If you need a concrete alternative today:

    • Consider embedding dynamic content as linked media (web pages, videos, or images) that can render within slides, then update those assets outside Live and refresh during the session.
    • For interactive demos, run the add-in in a standard PowerPoint session and share the screen to your audience during Live presentations.

    If you want, share the exact scenario you’re targeting (type of add-in, expected interactions, and platform you’re delivering on), and a tailored workaround or roadmap can be drafted.
