Showcasing black or white slides is one of the easiest things to do where PowerPoint is concerned. It can be done via the keyboard shortcuts, so let us discuss how to accomplish this.

By default, when you create a new PowerPoint presentation, all of the slides have a plain white background and text boxes with standard black text. But that's boring.

If you’re using Presenter View when presenting a slide, you can display a black slide with just a click. Here’s how: In the slide show, click the three-dot menu icon in the bottom-left corner.

Launch Microsoft PowerPoint, and open the PPTX file for which you want to use a GIF as the background. Select the appropriate slide. Click the "Design" tab, and locate the "Background" section.
