Installation guide
This package is ready for sideloading or your organization’s administrator. It is not listed in Microsoft Marketplace yet.
Windows desktop · Your existing shared-folder catalog
- Extract the package. Put manifest.xml in the dedicated add-in catalog folder you already configured. Replace the older InceptaPulse manifest; keep only one manifest with this add-in’s ID.
- Close and reopen PowerPoint. Choose Insert → My Add-ins → Shared Folder (or Home → Add-ins → Advanced → Shared Folder).
- Select InceptaPulse Live Results and choose Add. Resize the content area to fill your slide.
Setting up a catalog for the first time? Follow Microsoft’s Windows shared-folder instructions. A Windows desktop catalog does not have an “Upload My Add-in” button.
PowerPoint for the web · Upload a manifest
- Open your presentation in PowerPoint for the web.
- Choose Home → Add-ins → More Settings → Upload My Add-in, or Insert → My Add-ins → Upload My Add-in on an older ribbon.
- Upload manifest.xml from the package and insert InceptaPulse.
If your organization hides Upload My Add-in, ask its Microsoft 365 administrator to deploy the add-in.
Organization rollout · Install for your team
Your Microsoft 365 administrator can upload the same manifest through the Integrated apps portal, validate it, and assign it to users or groups. Pilot with a small group before wider deployment.

Install this updated manifest and reinsert older slides that point at the previous Sites address. Create fresh presentation links here and use Change link when the presentation expires. To start new slides without generating files, install this version’s common manifest.
Check it live
Start Slide Show. Scan the QR from another device and submit an answer. The counter and chart should update within a few seconds. Verify this on the PowerPoint version you will use at your event.
Before each event
Presentation links expire after 1, 4 or 8 hours. Create a fresh link, use Change link in editing mode, and save the deck. Closed sessions keep their results and hide the joining QR.
Sharing your deck
A saved link gives read-only access until expiry or revocation. Share the deck with its intended audience. Live updates need internet access and do not work in PDF or video exports.
