Meetings: Presenter Features

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.
