The Presenter has the option to upload files for display during the session, as well as the ability to screenshare. However, both options cannot be performed at the same time, so the Presenter must plan ahead to determine which option will best suit the session’s activities. Consider your bandwidth connection when planning your Meetings activities.

Presenter Activities

Activities Suitable for BOTH Lower and Higher Bandwidth Connections

Instructional Tips

  • Save your Word documents and PowerPoint presentations as PDFs before uploading them to Meetings. This will reduce the amount of time Meetings will need to process and covert your file(s).
  • Several Meetings features are unavailable when you choose to display an uploaded file. You will be unable to:
    • Share websites
    • Access hyperlinks embedded in a PowerPoint presentation
    • Demonstrate applications, such as Word or Excel
      Caveats when displaying an uploaded file. List depicting specifics provided above image.

Screensharing (Higher Bandwidth ONLY)

If you want to share your desktop to display websites or software applications that are located on your computer, you will need to share your screen.
To successfully share your screen, you MUST use Chrome or Firefox and NOT a mobile device.
