How to Upload & Present Slides in Your Live Courses

Learn how to seamlessly upload and present slides during your live courses with our step-by-step guide. Whether you're using PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides, this article helps you effectively use your preferred slide deck software to enhance your teaching sessions.

Example
Imagine you're conducting a live marketing seminar and need to present recent trends through slides. This guide will help you upload and present your material smoothly, ensuring your audience remains engaged and informed throughout the session.

Benefits

• Enhanced Audience Engagement: Using slides helps break down complex information, making your sessions more interactive and engaging.
• Professional Aesthetics: Smooth presentations give your courses a polished and professional appearance, enhancing your credibility.
• Preparation Efficiency: Uploading slides in advance allows you to manage your session more smoothly, focusing on delivery rather than setup.

Recommended slide settings:

• Ensure your slide files are in one of the supported formats (*.key, *.ppt, or *.pptx).
• Check that your files do not exceed the size limit of 500 MB.

• Adjust your slides to an aspect ratio of 16:9 with one of the recommended resolutions (1024×576, 1152×648, 1280×720, 1366×768, 1600×900, 1920×1080).

If your slides have any moving elements that are important for your attendees to see then you may want to share your screen instead.
