To share a presentation during your webinar, you’ll first have to upload the presentation to the webinar in the webinar wizard. You can read more about that here.
Sharing a presentation during a webinar
To share a presenation during your webinar, please follow the steps:
Open the webinar room.
Navigate to the 'Content' tab in the sidebar. The sidebar will now display your presentation
To start the presentation, click on the presentation button below the video.
Your presentation will now be displayed.
You can show and hide the presentation at any time. Just click the presentation button again to stop showing the a slide.
The presentation will be shown above your video by default.
Want to change the presentation layout to full screen? Simply disable your camera. This will make your video disappear from view and enlarge the presentation. You can re-enable your camera when you want to appear on screen again.
Please note! Toggling off the camera as a solo presenter when showcasing a presentation or screensharing will automatically hide your name placeholder while on stage. You can more about this setting here.
Changing the presentation slide
There are multiple ways to change the currently visible presentation slide.
The easiest method is to use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard. Pressing the left arrow key displays the previous slide, while the right arrow key displays the next slide.
Alternatively, you can press the arrow keys at the top of the sidebar to navigate to the previous or next slide. You can also use your mouse to select a particular slide to display by clicking the slide in question.
We also support using USB remote controls to change the slide.
Tip! You can still control the presentation slides with the arrow keys or a USB remote control even when the sidebar has been minimized.
Using a pointer in your presentation
You can use your mouse cursor as a pointer during your presentation. This allows you to point out data in your slides, making it easier for your viewers to engage with your content.
Follow these steps during your webinar to toggle the pointer feature:
Start sharing your presentation if you aren’t sharing it yet
Press the ‘Enable pointer’ button that appears in the bar above the slide
While this feature is enabled, any movement you make with your mouse cursor on the presentation will be shown to the viewers.
This is what the icon looks like when the pointer is enabled:
Changing the pointer color
Every presentation has different colors, meaning that one pointer color wouldn’t be properly visible on every possible slide. That’s why you can change the color of the pointer at any time.
Follow these steps to change the pointer color:
Start sharing your presentation if you aren’t sharing it yet
Press the arrow icon that appears in the bar above the slide
Click the color you want to use; the primary and accent colors depend on your webinar theme
Start a webinar with the presentation enabled
You can enable the presentation before going live so that your viewers will immediately see the first slide.
To do so, follow the steps:
Enter the webinar.
Open the 'Content' tab in the sidebar.
Click on 'Start presentation' before going live.
Don’t want to appear on camera alongside the presentation? Simply disable your camera. This will make your video disappear from view and enlarge the presentation. You can re-enable your camera when you want to appear on screen again.
