If you want to share your presentation with others at different locations, the Broadcast Slide Show command (New!)
allows you to display a slide show over the Internet. Before you start
the broadcast, you send a URL link to your remote audience via an e-mail
or copied link that they can use to access and watch your slide show in
their browser, which supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari
for Mac. To use the Broadcast Slide Show command, you need to use the
PowerPoint Broadcast Service provided by Microsoft at no charge along
with a Windows Live ID or use a broadcast service provided by your
organization on a server that has the Microsoft Office Web Apps
installed. In the browser delivery of your slide show, some features are
changed, including transitions shown as fades, no audio or video, no
ink annotations, can’t follow a hyperlink, and screensavers and e-mail
popup can disrupt the view.
