PowerPoint 2013 gives you lots of ways
to enhance or even change the way you
deliver your presentation how do you
reach a viewer for example who isn't
there with you
how about hundreds of viewers scattered
across the country that's where I find
myself today getting ready to present my
slideshow live on the web so viewers can
watch it remotely it's easy all you and
your viewers need is an internet
connection just go to the slideshow tab
choose present online and a dialog box
will appear click connect and now
PowerPoint is preparing your online
presentation this step can take a couple
of minutes depending on your internet
connection the result is a link you can
copy this link or send it to your
viewers in an email when they click the
link a new window will open to display
your presentation once you're ready to
begin click start presentation then just
give your presentation like you normally
would your viewers will have the same
view of the slides that you do so
they'll be able to follow along as you
advance the slides just as if they were
there with you in our experience this
feature may not always work correctly
the first time to make sure there aren't
any surprises the day of your
presentation you may want to test it out
with a friend or coworker first also be
aware that you can't use PowerPoint to
speak to your audience while presenting
online you'll need to pre record your
narration or even better plan to
communicate on something like a
conference call let's skip ahead to the
end of the slideshow
when you're finished giving your
presentation all you have to do is press
escape on your keyboard then click the
button here to end the online
presentation which will disconnect any
remote viewers who are still using the
link an alternative to presenting online
is to save your slideshow as a video so
viewers can watch it anytime these
videos can be shared online in an email
or even burn to a DVD everything you
need can be found in the backstage view
under export and then create a video
start by clicking the drop down arrow
here to select the size and quality for
your video when making your selection
consider what you'll be doing with your
presentation if you plan on attaching it
in an email for example the large file
size of an HD video may be too big to
send in this case consider choosing a
setting with a smaller file size then
decide if you want to use recorded
timings and narrations this will help
your presentation appear more polished
if you don't want to use recorded
timings you'll want to set the amount of
time the video should spend on each
slide here
when you're ready click create video
and then save
you can keep an eye on your progress
using the status bar at the bottom of
the screen when the bar is completely
filled your video is ready to view send
or upload one of the last things I'd
like to show you is how to tailor your
presentation to different audiences I'll
do that by going to the slideshow tab to
create a custom slideshow this feature
comes in handy if you have to give your
presentation to more than one group
creating different versions can help you
adapt to things like having less time to
present or each group having different
needs and expectations just click custom
shows then new to create one for the
first time give the show a name for
example short version then identify the
slides you want to include in your
custom show by selecting them and adding
them to the list on the right I'm just
going to add a couple more you can even
change the order of the slides using the
arrows here
when you're done you can choose show to
view your custom show right away or
close to exit from videos to presenting
live PowerPoint gives you many ways to
share your presentation and meet the
needs of your audience including the
viewers at home
