In PowerPoint for the web you can insert footers and slide numbers for all slides in the presentation, single slides, or a set of selected slides.
When you insert footers and slide numbers in a presentation, their position on the slide depends on the design you're using. For example, in some slide designs footers may appear at the top of a slide as a header or along one side.

In the Footer pane, select Footer.

In the Footer box, enter the footer text you want.

If you want slide numbers, select Slide Number.

If you want to keep the footer and slide number off the title slide of the presentation, select Don't show on title slide.

Select Apply to All.
Insert a unique footer for selected slides

In the Thumbnail pane, select the slide you want. To select multiple slides, use Ctrl + Click.
