Presentations

In the Studio you can upload PowerPoint, Keynote and PDF presentations, add them as Sources and control slide changes, making it easy to integrate presentation content into your events. Additionally you can assign slide control to a live presenter so they can control their own slide progression.


Upload a presentation

See File Upload for information on adding presentations to your event Studio.


Add presentation source

See Sources for information on adding your uploaded presentation as a live source.


Control presentation

Once a presentation has been added as a Source, operators can control which slide is active by clicking the 'Next' and 'Back' buttons on the Source card.



Assign control to a presenter

You can assign control of a presentation to a presenter allowing them to move forward and back through a slide presentation.
