Important limitations and troubleshooting

PowerPoint restricted font limitations

• PowerPoint files containing restricted fonts cannot be imported or synced with Kahoot!. You may see a "Slide import failed" error if your file uses restricted fonts.

• This is a known limitation of the converter and applies to both the "Upload" and "Sync" (OneDrive) methods.
• Solution: Before importing or syncing, ensure your PowerPoint file does not use restricted fonts. Replace restricted fonts with standard, unrestricted fonts in your presentation.
