Placing notes in the presentation

You can place notes on the uploaded presentation (in ppt, key, pdf format). Notes on the presentation:

  • can be added by the organiser or presenters,
  • are added to each slide separately,
  • can be edited by several people at the same time and changes made will be overwritten,
  • are enabled by default, but you can always turn them off by clicking on the three dots at the lower right corner of the presentation area,
  • can be created during event preparation, then when you save the event room and rejoin, the notes will be visible on the selected presentation.

Sharing files

If you want your audience to have access to a file after the event, expand the menu on the left side of the room by clicking the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner, choose Presentation, and click on the Add presentation button. To share files during a webinar, go to the menu on the left, choose Presentation, and click the Share file icon. You can also share files from your file library by clicking the plus-sign icon next to the file name.
