Share a PowerPoint presentation from Lync Web App

You can share a PowerPoint presentation only if you're a presenter.

1. Point to the Share icon, and click PowerPoint.

2. In the Select the PowerPoint you want to present dialog box, click Browse to search for the presentation.

3. Click the presentation, and then click Open.

The shared presentation is displayed on the meeting stage. Now you can do any of the following:

• Use the navigation arrows below the presentation to move through the slides.

• Click THUMBNAILS to see snapshots of all the slides. You can then click a specific slide to select it.

• Click NOTES to see presenter notes for the slides. These aren't visible to the meeting attendees.

• Click the Annotation icon at the top right of the presentation and use the Annotation toolbar to add annotations to the slides.

From the shared presentation, you can launch embedded hyperlinks. However, if there are annotations in the presentation, you must hide them first. In the Annotation toolbar, click More Options (the three dots), and then click Hide Annotations.
