In powerpoint, I can't group multiple png objects when selected. Am I doing something wrong? not supported?

    Dear Jordan,

    PowerPoint for Mac supports grouping multiple PNG pictures. Could you confirm whether Group is greyed out, missing entirely, or selectable but nothing happens? Also, are the PNGs inserted directly onto the slide or inside placeholders?

    If Group unavailable, make sure:

    1. At least two pictures are selected.
    2. The selection does not include a title or content placeholder.
    3. The selection does not include a table, worksheet, GIF, or SVG icon. SVG icons must first be converted to shapes.

    If possible, please share a screenshot showing the selected pictures and the greyed-out command. Remember to obscure any sensitive information before posting.

    For reference: Group or ungroup shapes, pictures, or other objects | Microsoft Support

    Looking forward to your reply.
