Slides

When presenting slides in a live broadcast, it is often assumed speakers will use PowerPoint or screenshare on Zoom. In fact, speakers control slides on a public link supplied from Wavecast.

It allows the broadcast engineer to ingest the slides into the broadcast in a controlled manner.

Slide preparation

Observe the following guidelines when preparing slide content:

• Create slides in your usual software e.g. PowerPoint or Keynote.

• When uploading slides to Wavecast, they must be in PDF format.

• Slide animations are not recommended for a live broadcast. Should they be required, it is advisable to book a pre-recording session in order to capture the content in advance.

• Organisers may wish to notify their speakers in advance that slides will be operated on a Wavecast link and that animations are not supported.

• The slide tool link should be circulated in advance, so your speakers can familiarise themselves with controlling the slides.
