In this blog post, we not only have a table with various sizes for social networks, but also instructions on how to export your PowerPoint slides as images or videos. After that, we have a variety of templates for you to download.




You can create social media graphics in PowerPoint without much work and use them in your company, for example. This way, all posts on the social networks of a company are consistent. What's more, every employee has access to PowerPoint and no extra programme is needed. To make the whole thing even more uniform, we recommend that you create a theme design.

Format slide size

In order for the slides to have the correct size, you must change them beforehand. To do this, you have to go to the "Customize" group in the "Design" tab and click on "Slide size".

Declamation Speech

A declamation speech describes the re-giving of an important speech that was originally delivered by someone else. It is usually performed with emotion and passion, aiming to re-create the impact of the original address. Declamation speeches are common in academic debate competitions, speech training courses, and public speaking programs where students study and recreate historical or literary speeches.

Podcasts

Podcasts are episodic audio (and sometimes video) programs distributed digitally for on-demand listening. As a learning format, podcasts offer an accessible, low-barrier way to engage with expert knowledge, industry trends, and educational content — often during commutes, exercise, or other activities. Educational podcasts are increasingly integrated into blended learning programs as a supplement to formal training materials, and are especially effective for thought leadership and continuous professional development.

Generative AI

Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that create new content — such as text, images, code, or structured data — in response to a prompt or task, rather than simply analyzing or classifying existing information. Powered by large language models and other foundation models, generative AI can write documents, summarize reports, produce slide content, and translate data into natural language. In enterprise settings, it is the core technology behind modern AI assistants, document automation tools, and presentation generators. A presentation-specific evolution of generative AI is the Large Presentation Model (LPM), which combines generative capabilities with enterprise context, brand guidelines, and the full presentation cycle.

Body language

Body language is the non-verbal information communicated through physical gestures, posture, facial expressions, eye contact, and movement. In presentations and public speaking, body language plays a critical role in how the speaker's confidence, credibility, and emotional state are perceived. Open posture, deliberate gestures, and sustained eye contact signal confidence and engagement, while crossed arms, fidgeting, and avoiding eye contact can suggest nervousness or disinterest. Presenters who master their body language are generally more persuasive and trustworthy.
