Overview

Rich media presentations include those with audio, video, graphics, animation and other multimedia features like synchronized PowerPoint slides. The Portal Server can display live and stored rich media presentations created by VBrick's VBPresenter Powerpoint Add-In. VBPresenter presentations run in Internet Explorer only. Live VBPresenter presentations like the one shown in Figure 12 are available for viewing from the Live Broadcasts page; stored presentation are available from the Video Library page (and have a special icon). Like other content, rich media presentations can only be seen by those viewers who have appropriate permissions. This document explains how to configure the Portal Server to work with VBPresenter. The VBPresenter User Guide explains in detail how to configure and use VBPresenter.
