Microsoft Sway is an application for making engaging online presentations and documents. Microsoft Sway is part of the Microsoft 365 suite.

Sway allows you to:

  • compile text, images, videos, and other content into interactive online presentations, stories, and reports (called 'Sways')
  • combine content from other Microsoft 365 and third-party applications into a Sway
  • search and insert related content from public sources
  • share with a select audience.

Use UQ's branded assets for creating presentations or reports when representing the University and follow the brand guidelines (staff login required).

Availability

Microsoft Sway is available to all UQ staff and students.

Share Sways

By default, your Sway is not visible to anyone unless you share it. You can choose to share your Sway with select staff and students or open it up to any staff or students who have access to the Sway link.

Staff and students cannot currently share sways with people from outside of UQ.
