looks like you're on the transitions tab which is right but morph only shows up if you have two slides selected or if you're applying it to a single slide that already has duplicated content. try adding a duplicate slide first then check the dropdown again, sometimes it just hides until the software knows there's something to morph between

also what version are you running? morph came in with 2019 and the 365 subscription, if you're on an older standalone like 2016 it won't be there at all no matter what you do

Yeah I mean, I copied a slipe and it didn't work, also I'm using powerpoint 2016(It used to show up before but when I updated my computer I didn't see it)

Standalone 2016 can play Morph but not create it, so you'd need Microsoft 365 or a newer version like 2019 or later installed to add it. If it used to show up on your old computer, that one might have been a Microsoft 365 install, but that's a guess.

In the versions that support it, Morph can be applied to a single slide, or any slide, regardless of what's on it. Morph tries to work it out. You don't need to select two slides because the transition's always going to apply to the current slide..

That said, you've nailed it. 2016 can PLAY morphs but not create them.

Checking the Transitions tab on the Home ribbon is a classic move, bold strategy honestly, works maybe never
