Beyond an empty background, the most simple background you can add to your Powerpoint presentation is a flat color, or a gradient from one color to another. Here's how to do it.

Hover over "Background Styles" to alter the slide's main color or pattern. You can choose to fill the slides with solid, gradient, textured, or patterned options.

PowerPoint templates, Microsoft Teams background images, and Microsoft Edge themes are available. Very Peri is a shade of purple that's meant to represent the transitional year that we'll see in 2022.
