Organization templates are an easy way to align your presentations to your organization’s brand. They're simple to use. Just go to your organization's templates folder on PowerPoint for Windows, Mac, or web and select the template you want.
Your organization must have an Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 plan to use this feature.
Tip: If you're a Copilot subscriber, Copilot can use your organization's templates too! For more information see Use your organization's branding with Copilot in PowerPoint.

Integration with Designer with branded templates
A great benefit of using your organization's templates is the ease of staying on-brand with PowerPoint Designer. If your organization's template is supported by Designer, you'll get branded, coherent slide suggestions that are built from the layouts in the template. To try Designer in your organization's template, navigate to a slide in your presentation and select Design Ideas in the Home Tab.
Important: Not all custom templates are compatible with PowerPoint Designer. If you're a template designer, see Creating custom templates that work well with Designer in PowerPoint for best practices information. Note, too, that Designer can't offer design ideas for all slides, even with a compatible template.
