The OSCPoint add-in is intalled on your Windows machine, and runs alongside PowerPoint. It provides an OSC API for PowerPoint.
To find out more about the add-in and download the latest version, check the add-in documentation.
The Companion OSCPoint module (listed as Zinc: OSCPoint) simplifies the process of triggering OSCPoint actions and displaying OSCPoint feedbacks.
To find out more about the module, check the Companion module documentation.
OSCPoint allows you to control PowerPoint using actions, and get information about the state of PowerPoint using feedbacks.
See the Actions and Feedbacks files for full details.
OSCPoint is Windows-only, and requires PowerPoint 2016 or later.
[!WARNING]
OSCPoint gives you the ability to navigate your PowerPoint show without it being the active (focussed) window.
Media elements, slide transitions and OSC feedbacks may not play correctly when PowerPoint does not have focus.
Don't run PowerPoint in the background and expect OSCPoint to work correctly.

OSCPoint is developed by Nick Roberts. My day job is head of development for OctoCue, so the OSCPoint PowerPoint add-in uses OctoCue's code signing certificate, in exchange for a bit of brand exposure.
