Cite the source URL on the slide if the deck came from a page

MagicSlides can turn a link into an outline. It cannot take legal responsibility for a number it scraped. Put the URL in speaker notes or a footer before you present.

A generated deck is a draft of someone else’s page until you check it. Source lines are how you stay honest in the room.

The prompt is not a citation

Pasting https://… into the generator is a convenience. The slide still needs a human who opened the page and kept the claim.

If you used YouTube chapters, write the video title. “AI said so” is not a source.

Footers survive export

PPTX will keep a small source line. A pretty template that strips it is how you present unsourced charts. Check the file, not only the web preview.

Frequently asked questions

Do I cite every slide?

Cite the ones with numbers, quotes, or medical/legal claims. Atmosphere slides can stay quiet.

What if the page moved?

That is why you checked before the meeting. Dead links are on you, not on the generator.
