Deploying the Wooclap PowerPoint add-in via the M365 Admin Center
If you are an IT administrator at a school or company using Microsoft 365, you can push the Wooclap PowerPoint add-in to all users, or to specific groups, directly from the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. This eliminates the need for individual installations and ensures smooth, organization-wide adoption.
☝️ This article is for IT administrators. If you are an individual user looking to install the add-in yourself, read How to use Wooclap in PowerPoint instead.
Before you start
Make sure your organization meets the prerequisites for Centralized Deployment:
You have a Microsoft 365 subscription with Exchange Online.
Users are on Office 2016 or later (desktop) or PowerPoint for the web.
You have Global Administrator or Exchange Administrator rights in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
☝️ Not sure if Centralized Deployment is enabled for your tenant? Check Microsoft's compatibility guide.
Access the Add-ins section
Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
In the left navigation, select ... Show all, then go to Settings > Integrated apps.
Click the Add-ins link near the top of the page.
Click Deploy Add-in.
Find the Wooclap add-in
On the Deploy a new add-in wizard, click Next.
Select I want to add an add-in from the Office Store.
In the search bar, type Wooclap and select the Wooclap PowerPoint add-in from the results.
Accept the terms and conditions.
Assign the add-in to users
Choose who will receive the add-in:
Everyone: deploys to all users in your organization. Best for org-wide rollouts.
Specific users/groups: use this for a phased rollout. Search by name or group.
Just me: useful for testing before a wider deployment.
☝️ We recommend assigning by group rather than individual users. Users added to the group automatically get the add-in, and users removed from the group lose access with no extra admin steps.
Deploy
Click Deploy. A green checkmark confirms the deployment was successful.
☝️ The Wooclap add-in may take 24 to 72 hours to appear on users' PowerPoint ribbons. Users may also need to restart PowerPoint.
Phased rollout (recommended for large organizations)
If you are rolling out to a large number of users, Microsoft recommends a phased approach:
Pilot: deploy to a small group of stakeholders or IT staff first. Gather feedback.
Extended pilot: roll out to a broader set of users and evaluate.
Full deployment: push to everyone once confident.
What users will see
Once deployed, users will find the Wooclap add-in directly in their PowerPoint ribbon, under Add-ins, without needing to search for or install anything themselves. From there, they can log in to their Wooclap account and start adding interactive questions to their presentations.
Notes
The add-in is compatible with PowerPoint version 15 (2013) on Windows, PowerPoint Online, and version 16 (2016) with a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Users must have a Wooclap account to use the add-in once it is installed.
The Message Wall is not available through the PowerPoint add-in.
