Recording or Live Streaming
  • Presentations/Events are recorded or live streamed straight to the MLML Youtube account
    • This allows those not present to watch the event live, or allows for the recording to be shared at a later date
    • Live streams/Recordings can be: Private, Public, or Unlisted (can only view if have direct link)

    • Allows for use of our Spotlight laser pointer, which can be seen through our capture device to those viewing virtually
    • Regular laser pointers will not be seen virtually on slides

 

Formatting Presentation
  • For best quality we recommend a 16:9 powerpoint presentation
    • Follow link to learn how to format a 16:9 presentation
  • If presentation created in a pre-2011 version of MS Office PowerPoint, we recommend that you save your presentation as a portable PowerPoint presentation
    • Doing this will ensure any links and videos embedded in your presentation will be saved and transferred over without issue.
  • Save presentation on flash drive whether using our Macbook or your personal computer
