powerpoints

Digital lecture visuals

Powerpoints are electrical outlets or sockets, primarily in British, Australian, and New Zealand English: The electrician installed new powerpoints in the kitchen.

Americans would say outlets or receptacles.

The term also refers informally to presentations made with Microsoft PowerPoint software, often used dismissively: Another meeting full of boring powerpoints.
