Time Tracking for Microsoft PowerPoint

Track time inside PowerPoint without switching apps

Your team opens PowerPoint for pitch decks, client presentations, and internal reports. That work takes hours, which rarely make it into a timesheet. TrackingTime runs as a browser extension inside PowerPoint, so every session gets a timer, every timer connects to a project and client, and billable hours show up in your reports without any manual entry.

About microsoft powerpoint

PowerPoint is where pitch decks get built, client presentations get designed, and quarterly reports get assembled. For agencies, consultants, and creative teams, it's also where some of the most undertracked billable time lives. A pitch deck might take 30 or 40 hours across research, layout, copy, revisions, and stakeholder feedback. The client sees one file. The hours behind it are rarely documented. That gap is especially costly for creative work. Design decisions take time that's hard to quantify after the fact. Revision rounds accumulate. Feedback loops stretch across days. Without a timer running inside the app, all of that work collapses into a single estimate that rarely captures what the project actually required. TrackingTime closes that gap from inside PowerPoint. Install the browser extension, open your presentation, and a timer is ready when you are. Hours log to the right project and client without leaving the file. When the session ends, the time is already in your timesheet, attributed correctly, and ready for billing.

How do I track time in Microsoft PowerPoint?

Install the TrackingTime browser extension and open PowerPoint on the web. A timer appears inside the app. Start it when you open a presentation and stop it when the session ends. Hours log automatically to the correct project and client without any manual entry.

Does TrackingTime work as a Microsoft PowerPoint add-in?

TrackingTime is not a native PowerPoint add-in. It works as a browser extension that runs inside PowerPoint on the web, the same way it runs in Word, Excel, Outlook, and every other Microsoft 365 app. One extension covers the entire suite.

Can I track time on pitch decks and client presentations?

Yes. You can assign each session to a project and client before you start. If you track pitch deck time separately from delivery work, you can see exactly how much pre-sales effort each client requires and use that data to price and scope future work more accurately.

Can I track time across revision rounds in PowerPoint?

Yes. Each time you open a presentation, you start a new timer. If a deck goes through six rounds of revisions, each round gets its own entry, attributed to the right project. You end up with an accurate record of total design time per presentation instead of a single estimate.

Does TrackingTime track time across all Microsoft 365 apps?

Yes. The TrackingTime browser extension runs inside every Microsoft 365 app on the web: PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and the rest. One extension, one account, time tracked wherever your team works.

Can I see how much time my team spends on presentation work?

Yes. TrackingTime shows time by project, task, team member, and client. If presentation work is absorbing more capacity than your estimates assume, you will see it in the data and can adjust your scoping and pricing accordingly.

HOW YOUR TEAM USES POWERPOINT

Track the time your team spends in PowerPoint.

Pitch decks, client presentations, revision rounds. Most PowerPoint work is billable. TrackingTime tracks every session from inside the app.

Pitch decks and pre-sales presentations

A pitch deck is a pre-sales investment. Tracking how long each one takes, by client and project type, gives you the data to understand your real cost of winning new business and to stop absorbing pitch time into delivery margins.

Client presentation revisions

Presentations rarely ship on the first version. Feedback rounds, stakeholder input, last-minute changes — each round is real time.
TrackingTime logs every session so the full cost of a presentation is visible from first slide to final delivery.

Internal reports and quarterly decks

Board decks, team briefings, and performance reports take significant time that rarely makes it into a timesheet. TrackingTime captures that work automatically so it shows up in capacity reports instead of disappearing into overhead.

TRACKINGTIME FOR POWERPOINT USERS

What changes when time tracks itself.

You stay in PowerPoint. TrackingTime handles the rest.

Know what pitch decks actually cost

Track every deck by client and project type. When a pitch closes, you know exactly how much time it required. Scope, price, and decide which pitches to take based on time.
