No creation is a solo effort! The collective power of the workforce is quite often required to finish a job within the deadline. The least we can do is acknowledge their contribution. Microsoft Office offers a simple solution for this. Similar to Movie-like credits, PowerPoint allows users to give credit to multiple people who contribute in some way to your work. So, let’s see how to add rolling credits in PowerPoint.
Add Rolling Credits in PowerPoint presentation
If you have just finished an awesome PowerPoint presentation and would like to give credit to lovely people who contributed to your PowerPoint presentation,
- Draw the text box

The complete exercise is simple and can be completed within few steps. Here’s how!
1] Draw the text box
Open your PowerPoint presentation, switch to ‘Insert’ tab and go to the ‘Text’ section.
There, press the ‘Text Box’ drop-down arrow and select ‘Draw horizontal Text box’.
When the cursor turns into an arrow, drag the cursor to draw the text box.
2] Add Animations to the text box
