Office Sway is a presentation program and is part of the Microsoft Office family of products.[1] Generally released by Microsoft in August 2015, Sway allows users who have a Microsoft account to combine text and media to create a presentable website. Users can pull content locally from the device in use, or from internet sources such as Bing, Facebook, OneDrive, and YouTube.[2]

Sways are stored on Microsoft's servers and are tied to the user's Microsoft account. They can be viewed and edited from any web browser with a web app available in Office Online. They can also be accessed using apps for Windows 10 and iOS. Additional apps are currently in development for Android and Windows Phone.[3][4]

History

Sway was developed internally by Microsoft. In late 2014, the company announced a preview version of Sway as an invitation-only preview and announced that Sway will not require an Office 365 subscription.[5] By the summer 2015, Microsoft had made the program publicly available.[6] On 31 October 2015, the iOS app was released as a preview; it is now available worldwide.[7]

Features

Integrations

Users are able to add content from various sources into their Sway presentations. Some of the integrated services are owned by Microsoft, including OneNote, Bing, and other Sways. The program also provides native integration with other services, including YouTube, Facebook, Mixcloud, and Infogr.am.[8]
