Managing Slides in the Presenter Console.

NEW: PDF files can now be used as slides. Upload a PDF, and each page will be converted into a slide.

Studio gives you the ability to upload slides, pictures and videos into the Slide List from Presenter Console. To do this, you must be logged in to the Presenter Console as a Staffer, Speaker, Moderator or Admin.

Supported Files: 

Presentation Files: PPTX, PPT and PDF.

Image Files: JPEG, PNG, and GIF.

Video Files: MP4 and MOV  (Video Slide Specifications)

PowerPoint Slides

Before uploading your slides, please ensure that you check the slide requirements on the Studio/Speaker Help guide here.

1. Once inside the Presenter Console, click on the Content menu then click Slides. 

2. Select File under Slide List. 

3. Drag your file into the PowerPoint Upload area, or click Choose File, then click Save. The upload and conversion will start automatically.

Note: If you are re-uploading the same presentation, rename the file first to avoid caching issues.

PDF Slides

You can now upload a PDF, with each page converted into a slide.

1. Click the blue +  menu in Slide List, and drag your PDF into the upload area or click Choose File, then click Save. The upload and conversion process will begin automatically.

   

2. Wait for the conversion to complete. Each PDF page will appear as a slide in the Slide List.

   

3. Preview each slide in the Slides panel to verify that it displays correctly.

4. When a PDF slide is displayed, you can zoom in and out using the mouse scroll wheel or the zoom feature.

   

Images Collection

If you wish to upload your slides as JPEG, GIF, or PNG, Drag your file into the Upload area, or click Choose File, then click Save. The upload will start automatically.

Video Slides

This feature is helpful when you need to play videos during a presentation, such as preroll or prerecorded videos. To do this, upload the videos separately in the Slide List. 

Please avoid embedding a video into Powerporint Slide because PowerPoint file wasn’t designed to carry and play video inside a web platform. A heavy slide can buffer or stall for viewers on slower connections. 

Before you upload, check the video slide requirements 

1. Click the blue + and select File.

2. Drag your video file (MP4 or MOV) into the Video Upload area, then click Save.

   Note: In the Presenter Console, video slides are muted for staffers by default so the video audio doesn’t feed into their microphones. You can unmute manually. Viewers hear the audio by default.

Tips

Welcome Slide

Reorder slides 

You can reorder slides by dragging them in the slide list. This reordering can be done in either the Slide List or the Presentation Timeline. The reordering action will apply to everyone in the Presenter Console.

Delete slides 

You can delete a slide by using the bin button in the Slide list or by using the Bulk delete feature.

To delete all or selected images, use the select all button. If you want to delete multiple images at once, press the (Ctrl) button, select all the images you want to delete, and then click the bin button. 

Replacing slides before the live event.

When you need to replace the presentation slides just before the event, please rename the file, upload the PowerPoint slides, and delete the old slides. When multiple presenters are in the presenter console, the previous slides are already cached to the platform, and they might not be able to see the new slide deck.

To avoid the caching issue, please rename the presentation file, upload the slides, and delete the old file.
