Add-ins Integration in PowerPoint (Mentimeter and Power BI)
(This was also followed to do Power BI in PowerPoint)
Purpose
The “Mentimeter for PowerPoint” add-in is requested to enable users to embed interactive Mentimeter slides directly into PowerPoint presentations.
This add-in is available in the Office Store but must be added to the allowed list and deployed through Integrated Apps before it becomes available to assigned users.
Preparation
The add-in will be deployed to the following security groups:
rru.o365.staff
rru.o365.faculty
These groups must be selected during the assignment step to ensure the add-in is available only to staff and faculty.
Deployment
1. Sign in to Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Navigate to admin.microsoft.com and sign in using administrator credentials.
2. Navigate to Integrated Apps
Open the left-hand navigation menu
Go to Settings > Integrated apps
Click Get apps to launch the deployment wizard
3. Choose the Add-in Source (Option A – AppSource)
We are using Option A, which deploys the add-in directly from the Office Store.
Steps:
In the AppSource search bar, type “Mentimeter for PowerPoint”
Select the add-in from the search results
Click Get it Now on the add-in page
Click Get it Now again on the confirmation page
This initiates the deployment sequence.
4. Assign Users or Groups
Assign the add-in to:
rru.o365.staff
rru.o365.faculty
This limits the add-in to staff and faculty, excluding students and other user types.
5. Finish Deployment
Review the configuration summary and select Finish Deployment.
The add-in will appear for assigned users shortly.

Once deployed, verify that the add-in appears in:
