Upload Presentations in Virtual Classroom
This page will explain how to upload a presentation, switch presentations, and revert back to the whiteboard in Virtual Classroom meetings.
To add a file to use in the presentation space, click the Actions button in the bottom left corner. Next, select Upload a presentation.
You can also share your desktop, and switch between your desktop/presentation as needed.
You can drag a file into the uploading window or browse for files. Allowed file types: doc, docx, xls, xlsx, pdf, txt, rtf, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp, html, htm, zip. The maximum file size is 30MB, and the maximum number of pages/slides that can be uploaded in a Virtual Classroom presentation is 200. If your presentation exceeds these limits, consider dividing your presentation into multiple files and uploading them one after the other.
Pro Tip
For best results, please save your file as a .pdf. Not only do .pdf files upload quicker, but also they reduce the chance for error if the file size is large!
Uploaded files will appear together in a list. The last file uploaded will display in the presentation space automatically.
You can also annotate the file in the presentation space.
After uploading your presentation, you are able to share your desktop at the same time and switch between the two screens by clicking on the View Presentation/View Screenshare button.
