How to check a PowerPoint for plagiarism?

Plagiarism is when the author uses fragments of other people's phrases in the text of a presentation without naming the source. Also, plagiarism is when a person making a PowerPoint / Keynote / Canva / Google presentation claims someone else's slides, texts, and graphics as his own.
It is illegal to use copyrighted images the owner has not permitted to use them. If a presentation features graphics or clipart that are distributed under a Creative Commons license, the author must include a link to the source. You cannot download and paste any picture from Google.
The teacher can check every image from the presentation using the TinEye service. This tool reveals where the picture was taken from and under what license it is distributed.
How do you not plagiarize in PowerPoint? Unique images will not be considered plagiarism, as long as the presentation makes use of the following:

• self-created graphics, for example, using graphics editors, charts, and bar graphs in Excel;
• personal photographs and drawings;
• pictures with the appropriate license and required reference to the source.

If the student chooses to use quotations, excerpts from books, magazines, from various websites in the slide, he should indicate the source as accurately as possible. The source should also be stated if the content is paraphrased.
Abundant citations should not replace the student's thoughts and conclusions. Otherwise, it won't be an original presentation but a retelling of existing and outdated ideas. As a result, the student will receive the lowest grade or need to rewrite the exam.

Any plagiarism is using someone else's work illegally or stealing intellectual property. It is also fraud because it is misleading. People are under the impression that the real author of the work is someone else. The actual author can get financially harmed when their work is stolen and used to get paid.
Plagiarizing PowerPoint presentations has the same consequences as stealing any other work. For schools and universities, plagiarism is a gross violation of the code of academic integrity. Among the possible penalties are expulsion from the university, a poor course grade, and a record in the educational file system detrimental to one's career and reputation. In particularly severe cases, the offender can go to prison for 5-10 years.
The owner of an image has the right to go to court if there was an unauthorized use of copyrighted graphics in the presentation. Violation of copyright is punishable with fines.

One way to check a PowerPoint for plagiarism is to open it, click on "File," and then on "Properties" and "Details." This way, you can get the following information:

• the owner or author of the original that created the document;
• when the presentation was designed and edited.

It is possible to find out if a student downloaded a presentation from the Internet and pretended it was his own. But one cannot use this method to detect the plagiarism of more cunning students or accidental copying. For instance, when a student unintentionally used a text in the presentation that corresponds to the words of another author.
