Give a PowerPoint presentation in Lync Web App
A well-designed and professionally delivered slide presentation is a powerful tool for sharing information and making your point. With Microsoft Lync Web App communications software you can present your slides using Microsoft PowerPoint presentation graphics program, managing the content and pace for maximum effect.
What do you want to do?
Have a colleague upload the PowerPoint file
Lync Web App does not support uploading PowerPoint files, so the meeting organizer or another presenter who is running Microsoft Lync 2010 will have to upload the PowerPoint file that you plan to present.
Note: Only the meeting organizer can upload the file ahead of time. Other presenters can upload it after the meeting begins.

After the PowerPoint file is uploaded, you can share the presentation.
-
Check the participant list to determine if you're already a presenter in the current meeting.

If you aren't a presenter, have the organizer or another presenter make you one.
-
To start the presentation, click Share, click Recent Content, and then click the PowerPoint file.
The words You are sharing appear at the top of the stage (right pane of the meeting window).Tip: Alternatively, another presenter can begin the presentation, and then you can click Take Over as Presenter.
