Quick Tip: Accessible PowerPoint Slide Decks

Eric Brinkman gives the shortest useful set of instructions for slides, which is to run the built-in accessibility checker and then fix the three things it almost always reports, namely missing alt text, missing or duplicated slide titles, and broken reading order. He also recommends building one clean template so the problem stops recurring. Three minutes and one deck later you will have a repeatable routine rather than a vague intention.
