I also have a book and an online course in creating accessible PowerPoint that includes extensive work with slide masters. The book is part of the course but am going to also have it as a standalone purchase. I just have to set it up.

Note that the online course uses keyboard commands instead of mouse clicks and is up to date with Microsoft 365.
