The Accessibility Checker can be accessed from the top bar in PowerPoint by going to Review > Accessibility Checker. You will then need to select Check Accessibility from the drop-down menu.
This will open the Accessibility Checker window on the right-hand side of your document.

From this list, you can select an issue using the drop-down arrow and this will list the recommended fixes and will let you make the changes directly from the list.
Once you have fixed all of the issues flagged by the Accessibility Checker, your document is ready to share.
