4. Using The Presentation Wizard

4.1 Presentation Wizard Overview

The Presentation Wizard is used to prepare a presentation and to configure the presentation for live or on demand distribution. Among other tasks, the Presentation Wizard is used to:

zImport Microsoft PowerPoint slides and convert the slides for distribution over the Internet

zChoose an interface in which the presentation will be displayed that determines both the look and feel as well as the functionality, such as polling and closed captioning, that will be included in a presentation

zProvide server locations for the streaming and non-streaming assets that will be distributed during the presentation if the presentation is being published to the Web

Many of the functions included in the Presentation Wizard are optional and affect the layout and aesthetics of the presentation interface. The Example Interface (below) can be used as a reference when deciding what functionality to include.
