While Wooclap integrates smoothly with most recent versions of PowerPoint, some older versions still rely on Internet Explorer as their web view for add-ins. PowerPoint no longer supports Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge Legacy, which can impact your experience.
Below you will find a summary of the different setups and some advice on which version to get, which web view to download or which browser to install to make integrating Wooclap into PowerPoint as seamless as possible. 👇
