How to share your PowerPoint directly from your screen

It's always best to have a second monitor if you are going to be using screen sharing often within your webinars. 

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and click " Slide Show".

 2. Then click, "Set Up Slide Show". Within that pop-up, choose "Browsed by an individual (window)". Click "Ok"

3. Then click "Play from Start." You will then see a full screen version of the slide show. 

 4. In the webinar room, click the "Share Content" then "Share Screen". 

5. Then choose "Window" and click the window with the PowerPoint Presentation. Then click "Share". 

6. Attendees will see full sized version of the PowerPoint slides. To move the slides, use your arrow keys <>, your mouse, or click on the slides.  Please remember, if you do share your PowerPoint like this, it's best to use another monitor. 

Screen sharing (along with using your camera) does use more bandwidth and CPU. So make sure you review our system requirements before screen sharing. If you do not want to use screen sharing or you do not have the necessary bandwidth, you can upload the file directly. We recommend uploading the file in the preload section before the webinar is open. Slides with animation will require a Enterprise Plan.
