    if you talk about PowerPoint Online the zoom option is there not available ...

    If you talk about PowerPoint locally installed it should be available in the Ribbon in the View Tab or at the bottom of the application window ...

    Can you post a screencapture of the PowerPoint Window?

      I am on "Current Channel" with "First Release" enabled in the admin portal. I am on Version 1610 (Build 7466.2038). But it is still not available!

       

      As per this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mt465751.aspx, the "zoom" feature was released on August 16, 2016 with the Version 1607 (Build 7167.2040) in "Current Channel". And, I am on the November update in the "Current Channel", then why am I not seeing this feature?

        The update channels surely are weird.

         

        I am on the same version as you and I have Zoom enabled (finally). What helped for me is reinstalling - just downloading the installer via O365 and run it again. This of course is a "witchcraft" fix, but it worked for me. Give it a spin. I guess we have to wait for MS to fix this update channel mess.

      Not the View>Zoom feature. The new PowerPoint Zoom option: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Use-Zoom-for-PowerPoint-to-bring-your-presentation-to-life-9d6c58cd-2125-4d29-86b1-0097c7dc47d7

      I had O365 Pro Plus installed and I was part of Firt Release list. I had to change the settings in Admin Centre - Software Download Settings and Install Office from O365 again.

        Interesting, so you got the feature as soon as you put your client to be part of first release?
