Changing Powerpoint slides while using the annotation tools
While sharing my screen to display a powerpoint presentation, I am unable to advance the powerpoint slide deck when I activate one of the writing tools in GOTO Meeting (i.e. the pen or highlighter). When I am using the GOTO meeting writing tools to hihglight data in my presentation, how do I advance to the next slide?
Thank you
Hi MavFrog
Have you tried using the Arrow keys to move your slides ahead when GoToMeeting creates the overlay for drawing purposes?

I used to prefer to use another application, but lately it doesn't work for me because college requires me to use excel, I hate it.

I never once liked PowerPoint for this one. Anything that didn't get it, I had to reinstall it because every few months, it wouldn't work properly, and after reinstalling, it would work normally. I don't know what it's related to, but I prefer to use other applications besides PowerPoint.

JeffThorsen777 Which operating system are you using currently?
Try changing this setting for your next presentation in PowerPoint:
- Open your PowerPoint application.
- Click Slide Show in the top toolbar then Set Up Slide Show.
- Under "Show type", select Browsed by an individual (window) and click OK.
- When you begin screen sharing in GoToMeeting, click Applications and select the PowerPoint presentation you want to share.
