The first is that you get to try Office 365 features before anyone else. The second is that your feedback directly influences the development of the features, which enables us to deliver a better Office to you, our biggest fans, and to all of the Office users worldwide. This month, we want to share a story about how customer feedback led directly to improvements to the popular Morph transition in PowerPoint and increased the control you have when creating complex animations. DELIVERING A BETTER MORPH EXPERIENCE THROUGH CUSTOMER FEEDBACK >             Preview Features for Insiders     Mac Keyboard Shortcuts in PowerPoint You asked for it! Due to popular demand, we’ve added new keyboard shortcuts to PowerPoint for Mac. These will help keep your fingers flying and make your workflow more efficient. SEE THE NEW KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS HERE > Save Embedded Media from PowerPoint We heard you! You can now easily extract embedded videos and audio from presentations by Control + clicking the media element you want to save. AVAILABLE TO MAC INSIDERS ON FAST > Focus Mode Coming to Windows Based on a popular feature in Mac, Focus Mode eliminates distractions (hides the ribbon, panes and status bar) and makes the document background black so you can focus on your content. You can still easily access commands when you need them. GET MORE FOCUS HERE >             Office Insider Tips & Tricks     Looking for Release Notes?
