PowerPoint 2010- Broadcast Slide Show

Michael Meskers is back in the LK house and is in the midst of filming our PowerPoint 2010 training! We always enjoy working with Michael. He really knows his stuff!

Speaking of PowerPoint 2010, did you know that it has the capability to broadcast presentations over the Internet for remote view or for viewers over the network?  All you need is a Windows Live ID! How cool is that?

All you need to do is open a presentation in PowerPoint, start a broadcast, and share the unique link PowerPoint provides with your audience. Then anyone, anywhere who is listening to your presentation via phone or conference call can open the link and see your slide show in their Web browser. Whenever you change a slide or start an animation their view is updated automatically.

Very cool.

Check out the PowerPoint Team Blog to learn more about it.
