What is Microsoft Sway?
Sway is an app from Microsoft Office that makes it easy to create and share interactive reports, personal stories, presentations, and more.
Cost and Eligibility:
Sway is available for free for all BCC faculty, staff and students as part of the Office365 Suite.
Features and benefits:
- Easily compile text, images, videos, and other content in an interactive online format.
- Apply designer-created layouts and color schemes, or let Sway suggest design elements that match your content.
- Search and import relevant content from other sources.
- Share your completed Sways on the web.
Why should I use Sway?
With Sway, there’s no need to spend lots of time on formatting. Its built-in design engine takes care of making your creation look its best. If the initial design doesn’t quite match your taste or mood, you can easily apply another — or fully customize your layout to make it your own.
It’s super easy to share your finished Sways. Family, friends, classmates, and coworkers can see your creations on the Web without signing up, signing in, or downloading anything. And you can change the privacy settings for any Sway whenever you want more control over what you share.
