How To Give A Live Video PowerPoint Presentation
Start by deciding what live stream you will use. If your computer is powerful enough,
you can use Streamsie on the same machine that you use for the presentation.
Otherwise, use a Spirit, Rover, or another machine with Streamsie. You may also use
Mantis encoder or other live video source.
Step 1
Aim the camera and microphone at the presenter and start the live stream. Verify the
live stream is as it should be by viewing it in Media / Encoders or Media / Live
Streams. When you are confident that your live video is all set, go to the next step.
Step 2
Go to Presentations and select “Add New Presentation”. Fill in the title, description,
etc. Be sure to set the start time and expire time. If you want your live presentation
to appear in a channel, select the desired channel. If you know that your Offset and
Record Offset need to be changed, enter the desired value (if you are not sure, leave
it blank or enter 0). Select a thumbnail or use default. If you want to limit the viewers
to members of a particular group, select that group. If you have already created a
poll, select it, or create a new one. Select the live stream you identified in Step 1.
If you have already uploaded a PowerPoint file, select the one you want to use,
otherwise select “Add New Image Collection” and upload your PowerPoint file.
Select Save.
Step 3
Your live presentation is now shown on the page with the title you gave it, and with
“Give Presentation” image.
If you want to send invitations, select “Manage Invitations” then “Create New
Invitation”. Complete the form and select the live presentation you just created.
Enter email addresses and/or upload a text file that has a list of email addresses.
Select “Send Invitation”.
If you want to send the link to people without the invitation process (i.e. informal),
you can right-click on the presentation and select “Invite”. This will give you access to
the presentation link and an automatic email that uses your default email program.
Step 4
With your live stream active, select the desired presentation. You can again verify that
your video is active by selecting the “Video On/Off” button. You can see who is
watching your presentation by selecting the “Attendees” button. You can enable chat,
