Open PowerPoint and go to the slide where you want to add the stopwatch. 2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the PowerPoint ribbon. 3. Click on the "Shapes" icon and select the "Oval" shape. 4. Draw an oval shape on the slide, and then right-click on it and select "Format Shape" from the context menu. 5. In the "Format Shape" pane, select the "Line" option, and then choose "No line" to remove the outline of the shape. 6. Next, select the "Fill" option, and choose a color for the stopwatch face. 7. Click on the "Size & Properties" option in the "Format Shape" pane, and then adjust the size of the shape as desired. 8. Right-click on the shape again and select "Add Text" from the context menu. 9. Type "00:00" or "0:00" into the shape to represent the initial time of the stopwatch. 10. Click on the "Animations" tab in the PowerPoint ribbon. 11. Click on the "Add Animation" button and select "More Entrance Effects" from the context menu. 12. In the "Add Entrance Effect" dialog box, select the "Wheel" option, and then click "OK". 13. Click on the "Effect Options" button in the "Animations" tab and select "By Paragraph" from the context menu. 14. Set the duration of the animation to the desired length of time for the stopwatch. 15. Repeat steps 11-14 for the exit animation of the stopwatch. 16. Finally, click on the "Slide Show" button in the PowerPoint ribbon to preview the stopwatch animation. With these steps, you should be able to add a stopwatch to your PowerPoint presentation.
