[ARCHIVED] Can I Use Web Conference to Display Powerpoint & Explain the Slides?

[louis_scala]

Can Web Conference be used to display Powerpoint and use a microphone to explain Powerpoint Slides? I have used Blackboard Collaborate Ultra to carry a virtual classroom lecture using my Powerpoint files

Hi  @louis_scala  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

Yes, you ought to be able to share your powerpoint and speak over it to explain the powerpoint.

I'm not sure which conference tool you are using but they all seem to have that function.

Here are some guides to help you with Big Blue Button if that's what you have:

• How do I use the Conferences Index Page?
• How do I create a conference in a course?
• How do I delete a conference?
• How do I edit a conference?
• How do I record a conference?
• How do I start a conference?
• How do I join a conference?
• How do I conclude a conference?
• How do I use the Conferences interface as a moderator or presenter?

Sing out if you need a hand.

I had the same question.  If we start a conference how do we then open up a PowerPoint presentation and discuss the slides as we would in a traditional classroom.

Is this the correct documentation to achieve that goal?
