# PowerPoint embeds

You can use Canvas embeds in your PowerPoint presentations. These embeds will stay up to date with the latest data and any changes you make to the embed in Canvas.

Since PowerPoint cannot perform authentication, embedding in PowerPoint requires that your embed be public. If your data needs to be private then you should not use PowerPoint embeds.

First follow the steps in [public-embeds](https://canvasapp.gitbook.io/docs/embeds/public-embeds "mention"). Make note of your Canvas ID.

Second, install the [Web Viewer](https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/wa104295828?tab=overview) PowerPoint add-in.

Next select the add-in to add a web page to your PowerPoint.
