During a Meeting: Upload a Document to Display in Meetings

In the Presentation area (in the middle of the Meeting), in the lower left corner, click on the "plus icon", then click on Upload a presentation.

Alt=Lower left corner of the Presentation area, there is an icon with a plus sign on it, plus microphone, phone, webcam, and screen sharing icons

Now in the Presentation dialog box:

  • Drag your file or click in the dotted box to select your document.
  • Find your document, select your document and save it.
  • Back in the Presentation dialog box:
    • Now that you've selected a document, click on the Upload button (you'll see a Progress status displayed until your document is uploaded successfully).
    • Your document will display. Remember, save your files as pdf's for the best (and fastest) results.

Alt=Select File button is circled, and an arrow points to the Upload button, also a box beside "Enable download of presentation"

PROBLEMS?

  • If you're using Firefox, you may not be able to upload a document or select a document; use Chrome instead.
  • If you're using Chrome and having issues downloading documents, you may need to allow Adobe Flash or enable it.
Presentation FAQ's
  • Will animations in PowerPoint convert when uploading to BigBlueButton? No. (BigBlueButton)
  • Is there a page limit for uploaded files? 100 pages.
