BrandIn is a PowerPoint application add-in. This is not to be confused with a Microsoft Office Add-In which is essentially a web-based application. A PowerPoint application add-in must be installed on the user's computer and it then runs inside PowerPoint.

BrandIn works with both the Windows and macOS versions of PowerPoint. It does not support the online version of PowerPoint or mobile devices.

The minimum requirements are as follows:

Windows

A PC running Windows 10 or higher, 32-bit or 64-bit.

Microsoft Office apps as part of a 365 subscription or a perpetual version of PowerPoint 2016 or higher, 32-bit or 64-bit.

macOS

A Mac running one of the three latest versions of macOS, as specified by Microsoft Office.

Microsoft Office apps as part of a 365 subscription.

Software dependencies

The publisher workflow used by the Brand Manager role to publish the brand asset library is supported by Windows and requires an additional component to process image files called ImageMagick.

The latest version of ImageMagick may be downloaded from here:

Administrators should install the dynamic version “Win64 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel” for example.

In addition to the above installation components, the IT administrator should ensure that there is enough local storage on the user’s computer to make a mirror copy of the brand asset library should this feature be enabled for the deployment.
