Microsoft PowerPoint & Microsoft Edge WebView2

[Trevor Chandler]

Hello CINners,

When I launch some PowerPoint slides using Microsoft PowerPoint, there are
multiple processes named "Microsoft Edge WebView2" that are launched
along with it. Why is this? What connection does this Microsoft Edge WebView2
thingy have with PowerPoint?

Thanks CINners

WebView2 allows PowerPoint to handle web-based content and interactive features that are part of modern presentations, and that's why you see those associated processes running.

So precious, is this WebView2 thing a part of the Microsoft Edge web browser?
