Meh.

What’s the meeting about? That’s the more important question.

Is this a decision making meeting? Is there one person making the decision or several?

Is this instead informational in nature? Are people supposed to understand the gist from this and do deeper research afterwards? Or should they come to the presentation already informed in some way?

PowerPoint is primarily a method for the speaker to organize their story, and secondarily for the audience to have visual landmarks to aid memory.

If you do anything else, you’re probably not planning your meetings properly.
