   5.   When you are ready to start your presentation, click Start Presentation:

Note: You can try to start your online PowerPoint presentation using the following way:

   1.   On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click the Present Online button:

   2.   On the Present Online dialog box, select the Enable remote viewers to download the presentation check box (optionally) and then click the Connect button:

BUT, unfortunately, this way by using the button from the ribbons, doesn't work correctly for same installation of MS PowerPoint. We recommend to use way through Share.
