Note: If notes have been added to a shared PowerPoint presentation created with PowerPoint 2010 or earlier, they will be available to the presenter in the PPT Notes panel.

For best results when sharing presentations created with PowerPoint 2013 or later, use Share Application.

Application—Select an application from the list of running applications, then click Share.

Best Practice: Open the application before you share it. If you don’t have the application open, click Other Application, choose the application, then click Share. If you have multiple monitors connect to your system, avoid sharing applications displayed on different monitors.

Design Suggestions

• Vary your slide layouts, and avoid slides of plain bulleted lists.
• Use colors, shapes, and effects consistently, but don’t use so many that they hide your content.
• Avoid putting too much information on a single slide. Two slides with an equal amount of content work better than a single, crowded slide. Also, remember that attendees might not focus on the presenter if they are trying to read a crowded slide.
• Decorative graphics in a presentation should be the same type and style. Avoid using both clip-art illustrations and photographs in one slide deck.
• Use the PowerPoint spellchecker, and ask someone to edit and proofread your slides.
• For dynamic presentations, add multimedia objects to your slides using the WebEx Universal Communications Format (UCF) toolkit, which you can download from your WebEx site. For more information about the UCF toolkit, see Using UCF Toolkit (WBS29.13, WBS30).
• Always preview your slides in a practice WebEx session so you can see the presentation from an attendee’s perspective.
• Think twice about adding effects that seem eye-catching. They may distract from your content.

Technical Considerations

For best performance in your WebEx sessions, construct your slides with the following tips in mind. In addition, be sure to test your presentation in a practice WebEx session to confirm that it renders the way you expect it to.

Transitions and Effects

• For smooth, professional animation, choose one of the following Custom Animation effects: Appear, Fade, or Wipe.

Fonts

• Sans serif, regular weight fonts are easiest to read online.
• Avoid uncommon, specialized fonts. Text formatted with unsupported fonts will not be displayed.

Screenshots

• Save screenshots at 300 dpi so they are small, then re-size them in PowerPoint, if needed. Unlike typical graphics programs, PowerPoint scales up better than it does down.

Lines, Boxes, and Borders

• Straight horizontal and vertical lines display better than diagonal ones.
• On boxes and callouts, square corners reproduce better on screen than rounded corners.
• When using borders on screenshots and other graphics, use lines no wider than .75 points.
• Instead of applying colored fill to a text box, layer the transparent text box over a filled rectangle.

When you share in full-screen mode, session controls are available in a control panel at the top of your screen.

Return—Exit full-screen view and return to the event window.

Share—Access the sharing menu to switching sharing modes instantly, without returning to the event window.

Assign—Make another participant the presenter, pass remote control, or assign privileges. If you change presenters while sharing, sharing will stop and all participants will be returned to the event window.

Audio—Join or leave event audio, or switch audio connections.

Mute Me—Mute or unmute yourself quickly without returning to the event window.

Participants—Display the Participants panel. While the panel is display you can drag to position it anywhere on your screen.

Chat—Display the Chat panel. While the panel is displayed you can drag to position it anywhere on your screen.

Annotate—Display the Annotation tools from which you can select to annotate content while in full-screen view. While the panel is displayed you can drag to position it anywhere on your screen.

More Options—Manage panel layout, display the Notes panel, access audio options, synchronize full-screen view for all participants, invite and remind participants, or end the event.

When you are the presenter, you can use the page controls to move forward and backward through a document and change the participants’ view of content you are sharing. For example if you are sharing a PowerPoint presentation, you can use the controls to move through slides.

Note: The page controls will not advance through transitions and animations when sharing presentations created with PowerPoint 2013 or later.
