Create Presentation

Create Presentation is an optional module that requires a separate license and may not be available on your system. Be aware that even if you have this module, individual users may be restricted in the functions they can perform. For example some users may not be authorized to create presentations in which case this feature will not be displayed. Other users may only be authorized to edit or delete their own presentations. See "Multimedia Authoring Privileges" in the Portal Server Admin Guide for more information.

The VEMS Presentation feature lets you deliver rich media presentations (webinars with live video and synchronized PowerPoint content) to large scale audiences worldwide. It provides interactive Q&A and polling and the presentations can be recorded for future use. Your live presentations can be scaled for thousands of users using VBrick's dedicated distribution servers. These server devices are specifically designed for load-balancing large scale webinars and require a separate license. Contact VBrick Support Services for more information. Live presentations are automatically displayed on the Live Media page; previously recorded presentations are shown in the Media Library.

You create a presentation by following the sequence of steps shown in Figure 10 on the Create Presentation page. When creating a presentation, all required fields are marked with an asterisk. In most cases you will be scheduling a presentation that will take place at a later time. This will let you reserve the resources (for example VBrick appliances) that you will need for the presentation. When you are finished configuring the presentation, and have "published" your PowerPoint slides, the application will generate an e-mail to your invited viewers with a link to the presentation. The last step is to go to the "presenter" page (Figure 12) at the scheduled date and time to launch the presentation.

Several other administrator configuration steps are required before you can publish rich media presentations to the Portal Server. These steps are explained in detail in the "Configuring for Presentations" topic in the Portal Server Release Notes. Also be aware that in many cases a presentation will be pushed from a VBrick appliance to a Windows Media VOD server and/or to a VBrick Reflector. If so you will need to configure these devices as well: the WM Appliance Admin Guide explains how to configure a reflector; the VOD-WM Server Admin Guide explains how to configure publishing points on a Windows Media VOD server.
