In order to insert a new custom slide layout into the current slide master in PowerPoint, you need to follow these steps:

1. Firstly, open your PowerPoint presentation and click on the “View” tab located in the top toolbar.
2. Then, click on the “Slide Master” option from the dropdown menu. This will open the Slide Master View, where you can make changes that will affect every slide in your presentation.
3. Once in Slide Master View, look for the pane on the left side of your screen. Here, you will see the slide master along with various slide layouts.
4. Select the slide master, and then click on the “Insert Layout” option in the toolbar. This will create a new custom slide layout.
5. You can now customize this layout according to your needs. You can add placeholders, change background, apply styles, etc. To add placeholders, select the “Insert Placeholder” option and choose the type of placeholder you want to add.
6. Once you’re happy with your custom layout, click on the “Close Master View” button. Your new custom slide layout will now be available in the layout gallery, ready to be used in your presentation.
