On a presentation’s properties page, you will initiate most management tasks, including updating the presentation’s settings, interacting with the audience, editing the video, and sharing it with your audience.

When using your mobile device, some features are not available such as editing videos and slides, managing polls, and downloading to your computer. Contact your Faculty Support Team for more information.

Share: Share your presentations with others by sending a quick link to the presentation, sending an email invitation, or embedding it in a website.

Download to Computer: Click to download presentation as an audio podcast (MP3), video podcast (MP4), or as a Publish to Go presentation. A Publish to Go presentation is a self-contained portable presentation that does not require an Internet connection for viewing.
