.ppt file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .ppt file is a presentation created with Microsoft PowerPoint, containing slides with text, images, animations, and transition effects. The .ppt format is the legacy binary version of PowerPoint's native format, predating the XML-based .pptx format introduced with Office 2007. While .pptx has since become the standard, .ppt files remain widely supported for backwards compatibility across modern presentation software.

LIZ AI works natively with PowerPoint .ppt and .pptx files. It reads your existing decks, updates data-driven content automatically, and writes back brand-compliant slides — without any manual rework.

Distributed Audience

A distributed audience is a group of presentation attendees who are physically located in different places — such as different offices, cities, or countries — and who attend the presentation remotely or from multiple simultaneous locations. Managing a distributed audience requires careful attention to technical setup, timing across time zones, and engagement tools that compensate for the lack of physical presence. Distributed audiences are common in global organizations, virtual events, and multi-site corporate communications.

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.

This can range from simple rule-based automation to fully autonomous agents that plan, execute, and adapt in real time. In communication and marketing teams, AI-powered workflows are used to streamline content production, approval processes, and distribution — reducing time-to-delivery and freeing teams for higher-value work.
