PowerPoint slide show issue
I am using the new GoToWebinar, and when my speakers share their PowerPoint in slide show mode, GoToWebinar only displays the editing view of PowerPoint if they choose to share only the PowerPoint application. Therefore, they are compelled to share their entire screen to resolve this issue.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Hi Aristeidis, nice to see you again, thanks for sharing all your steps. Glenn and I tested this out to ensure things were acting as expected, we were able to to share the Slide Show Mode with the desktop app using these steps:
If You Have one monitor:
- Set Up PowerPoint
- Open your PowerPoint file.
- Start Slide Show mode so your slides display full screen. - Share Your PowerPoint in GoToWebinar
- In the GoToWebinar control panel, click Share
- Choose 'Share Application'
- You’ll see two PowerPoint windows to choose from:
- Full Screen Slide Show—This shows only your current slide (you want to choose this)
- Edit/View with Notes —This shows the editing view, with access to your notes. - Sharing Notes (If Needed)
- If you switch to the notes/edit view (using Alt+Tab), your slide show will pause, and attendees will see that paused slide.
- To resume the slideshow, click the "Resume Slideshow" pop-up.
- Note: Each time you return to your notes, your slide show will pause again until you resume.
Advice:
- For a smooth experience, share your full screen slide show window if you don’t need to see your notes during the presentation.
- You could also print out your notes or have them available on a separate device (like a mobile phone)Ideally, you could use two monitors, so the notes view is on one screen and the slide show is on the other and that is the screen that is being shared.
Let me know if you have any questions.
