Microsoft Sway Essentials (2025)

Containing elements from Publisher, Word and PowerPoint, Sway is an interactive way to share a message, newsletter, or proposal in an online, visually appealing format. It’s part of your M365 subscription, so why not learn how to use it? 

Are you tired of creating the same old standard presentations and documents? Are you looking for a way to gain people’s attention and help them remember your content? Sway is a great way to distribute information in a unique way. People can click through the content on their own and view your text, images, and videos. 

Our Microsoft expert Jennifer Buchholz will show you multiple ways to create a Sway, and how to add and format text. You’ll also learn how to add graphics, logos, and videos, as well as some creative ways to view them. You’ll want to customize the design and presentation, and once your Sway is complete, you’ll need to share it with your viewers. 

It’s time to learn SWAY: It’S WAY cool!
