# Use animations when uploading your PowerPoint to BigMarker

## Preserve your PowerPoint animations when presenting on BigMarker

Currently, this feature is reserved only for Enterprise and Event Packages plan holders. If interested, please contact our Events Experts at [sales@bigmarker.com](mailto:sales@bigmarker.com) or your customer success manager 

Usually, when you upload a PowerPoint file to the Studio, the BigMarker platform will convert it to PDF. However, when presenting with animation, you are able to share your presentation exactly the way you created it with Microsoft Office. 

### How to Enable PowerPoint Animation

Only BigMarker Admins can enable Powerpoint animation. Please reach out to your BigMarker customer success manager to do so.

Once in the webinar room, you will need to manually open the PowerPoint. Click the **Share content** icon, then select your PowerPoint of choice. Click the 3 dots \[**...**\] and then click **open with animation**.

The Powerpoint will load in an instance of Office 365 and will display to attendees. Once the presentation has loaded, turn on presentation mode, then click on the slides to advance, and then click once more for the animation to play. 

**Note:** Make sure to click on the slides rather than the arrows below to advance from slide to slide.
