I was an early adopter of Sway. Most of them were travelogues to send to the kids (who lived in 4 different cities) when my wife & I traveled. It was a fun way to share the trip with them. I haven’t used it in quite a while. I like the “new” Sway. Looking forward to starting again. Thanks for the excellent tutorial.
This is a huge help for me, I'm a Grade 11 student and our teacher gave us a Post-Task where we have to make an E-Portfolio using Microsoft Sway. But since I don't know how to use this, I searched RUclips and I am happy that I did because I was able to learn how to use it from you thanks a Lot!! You just got a new subscriber hehe.
Thank you!! This video has erased all my fears with using SWAY in my classroom or when sharing with my colleagues.
It does not matter what is the content! as soon as I hear "hi everyone..." I like the video.
Thanks for bringing this up, I've seen it but never use it hence never thought it would be so useful.
I found Sway in my Office inventory but had no idea what it was. Thanks dude :)
I always use it for my school presentations and everybody loves them
Thanks so much for this video. I am an a realtor and need to create a marketing presentation for futire clients. This is the perfect tool. Will play with it today.
Hey, Kevin. I would like to give suggestion. In your videos which shows how to make something, like in sway, using stock photos or so, which are more on the "creative products" side, I suggest actually showing the final product first. this way, the audience, more especially those who are still not yet familiar with the app environtment may imagine the purpose first, then the process later. I take this inspiration from LogosbyNick youtube channel. He usually shows a complete product first, then shows a step-by-step tutrorial from scratch. that way, the audience will build a more deductive mindset. This is a suggestion, so I hope it helps.
still don't understand the purpose of this. is this something that can be published to a webpage? or is it for presentations?
@@Greatness.Gaming lol same
That is a good way to teach how to use an app 👍🏿
I have had office 365 for years and did not know about this app. I'm a real estate agent and can't wait to starting using this to create newsletters and more. Thanks
WOW! This is the first time I've heard of this and it looks really awesome! I'm trying to start a business and this looks like exactly what I wanted.
Kevin, your channel is single-handedly turned me into a Microsoft expert and I wish I knew how to thank you!!
Amazing! I never heard about Sway till watching your video. This is really awesome and quite helpful in being productive with lesser efforts. I loved the way you made me understand the nitty gritties of such a beautiful application. Thanks a lot for your efforts. Bye bye!
This is how Microsoft should advertise their apps, they have a slew of apps and some i don't even know they exist.
They have some sleeping giants in there too!
@@deanlofts875 What else can you recommend?
@@DiegoTheWolf I haven't used anything for long enough to explicitly recommend anything in particular but I tend to open and app and click through every single possible area to figure out what it does. Microsoft Teams is a gateway to all of the cool stuff I found.
Promoting an application with a 20 minute tutorial?! Do you realize that most humans have next to no attention span (see TikTok, etc)? The most you could hope for is a 2 minute advertisement with lots of explosions and Bwah sounds that explains Sway in a fun and cool way
@@lawjef This is no tik-tok, don't do that comparison cuz its pointless and this is no ad, this is a how to guide so only the people who wants to actually use it can watch
Perfect thank you, a nice up to date and clear tutorial as per usual. Starting on my own Sway tomorrow.
Nice video, this is the first time I am hearing about Microsoft sway, and I now know how to use it.
Thanks for the note Mike! Always appreciate your comments :)
True
Yes
True
Now I know how use this but what is it used for ?
Thanks Kevin! I watched most of your videos and all are informative. First time learning about Sway and Powerpoint Live, and already excited to use this.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this quick overview of the capabilities of Sway. This is exactly what I needed and I am excited to get started!
Thank you Kevin for this good introduction to Sway, it was useful to me.
I am new to Sway but I like it very much.
The one thing I miss with it is a way categorize my Sways, either with folders or some other ways to filter them by tags or folder would be nice.
This is really fantastic and like the previous comment, I also had NO IDEA that Sway existed, so thanks Kevin for providing this fantastic introduction!
Interesting. I heard about sway for the first time today. haven't watched the entire video but looking forward to learn it.
Thanks so much. This was really helpful. Hadn't heard of it till now. Will surely experiment and use it going forward.
Wow an excellent intro to Sway - Thank you :)
I've wondered what Sway was all about. This is so helpful! Thanks! Nice job as always, Kevin.
Hi Kevin,
As always, all your videos are incredibly helpful, with clear perspectives and a way to use them, thank you!
Love the photos! Thank you so very much for sharing.
This tutorial just made me learn sway in under 20 Mins great work dude.
Thanks Kevin, literally windows has these feature. I love windows whenever I started watching your channel.
"There is no better topic to talk about than myself" - truer words were never spoken!
Really helpful video! I feel a lot more confident to explore sway now. Thanks a lot!
Thank you another brilliant video! I’d never heard of Sway before and I work in IT 😂 it looks great!
Thanks for that little introduction, am asked to use Sway for an assignment & never heard of it, your video was helpful!
I have used Sway for job applications. something like a turbo charged CV :) Besides looking fantastic on any device with very little effort from my side, the in-built Analytics is my favorite Info :) By copying a new version for each job I am applying for, I can see how often the respective Sway was opened and how thoroughly it was read. I am sick of sending my applications and then wait forever for a response, which very often does not even arrive. The Analytics info shows me at least whether my material is read or not. Big Thumbs Up for Sway :)
Great video. I never knew Sway existed either. What I don't understand is why, at the time of me watching this video, have 290 people downvoted it!
It's great content, well produced, with excellent audio and video quality.
Thankfully 13K upvotes well outweigh the haters!
Very informative! Excited to actually try it, myself. Thanks a lot.
Hi came across this page as it popped up on my screen. Great tutorial will certainly use sway more often .Thank You
Thanks for the videos. I'm from Woodinville,WA but watching and learning so much from over here in Thailand. Keep 'em coming sir.
Thanks for the note Michael! Woodinville is right around the corner :) Hope you're enjoying Thailand.
I just discovered you. I used the Sway feature for my resume and it was so easy to use. Thank you for this video.
Kevin, your presentations are awesome! Thanks for them!
Excellent. Sway is so cool. Love it! Thanks Kevin for this very informative and clear instruction.
Sway makes presentation of your ideas a breeze, thanks Kevin

Best Sway tutorial I have seen
Your videos are excellent. Clear, concise and understandable. I am subscribed to your channel and recommend that anyone looking for help with MS products watches your tutorials before any others. JWL - New York.
This is so cool, thank you for introducing SWAY and I need to work on some newsletter to my clients. I have done a persona project not long ago using Power Point, I can put those content in SWAY and I am sure it presents nicely with more interactive content. BTW, I worked with a company in NJ and I love NYC, it's very much like HK and I enjoyed learning new skills by watching your videos. Good luck and I will share this on my FB so my friends in HK, TW, USA and UK can also benefit from your videos! Woo Hoo!
A very helpful video and introductory guide to Microsoft Sway. Thank you. Kevin Stratvert - a super cool guy!
Thanks man... Great work.
You explain things in a very nice way.
Fantastic explanation from a very cool guy! Thank you, Kevin!
Thanks Kevin. First time I hear about SWAY :)
Thank you. My first time to know about sway
Great video! Thanks for all the terrific SWAY information!
I had never heard of SWAY. Great video!
Kevin, ha ha - almost too well done for the rest of us. I truly hope we do not bury you in success with your new focus. Perhaps the sequel to this great session should be "Feng Sway?"
Wow! This is super cool. I'm going to use Sway for a project at work. Thanks for the great video.
You neglected to mention a couple of features:
1. You can drag and drop a PowerPoint or pdf and it will import the content.. which you can even edit their inner content on the design tab.
2. You can export to pdf or word.
The above is very handy for student portfolios, whereby they have already generated a ton of work on various media and need to collate their work.
He mentioned that RIGHT in the first few sentences though...
WOW, excellent video, I was one of many did not know what Sway does, particularly useful and easier than PowerPoint.
I really didn't know this thing exists. How fun! Thank you, Kevin. Really super cool guy ;-)

Hey Kevin, I truly love your RUclips channel and I regularly watch your videos which are very informative, so my demand is that can you make a video on how to do power point presentations for beginners.. you are awesome...
