Create A Live Clock In Any PowerPoint Presentation (No Flash!)

The Tech Train

Discover how to embed a live, fullycustomisable clock into any PowerPoint presentation, with no plugins required.

After my previous video a couple of years ago showing how to add a Flash clock to PowerPoint I looked into how to do the same thing but without using any plugin, and giving the user 100% control over the look and style of the clock. This is the result.

In this tutorial I'll show you how easy it is to build and embed a working digital clock into any slide of any presentation, with just a few simple lines of code.

As ever, I walk you easily through every single step, and the demo file is available to all Patreon supporters.
