Learn how to share a presentation in a share pod during Adobe Connect session.

For hosts or presenters who share a presentation in the Share pod, unique controls are available to navigate and display the presentation. A presentation layout has the following areas:

Presentation

The central part of the window displays the presentation slides.

Presentation sidebar

The area on the right of the browser window shows the presentation name, Outline, Notes, and Search tabs. If you cannot view the sidebar, select Show Side Bar at the lower left of the presentation.

Presentation control bar

A bar at the bottom of the presentation gives you control over the presentation playback, audio, attachments, and screen size. The bar is visible to hosts only unless a host chooses to display it to participants. (To see all presentation toolbar options, load the presentation file from Adobe Presenter to the Content Library. Not all presentation toolbar options are visible if you load the PowerPoint PPT or PPTX file directly into the Share pod from your computer. Deselect Sync navigation with participants  at the upper right corner of the presentation. 

Note:

Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, sharing, and other settings to adhere to governance standards. These settings affect the layout of meeting rooms and what can be done in them. For more information, see Working with compliance and control settings.

Use the presentation Outline tab

Most presentations have an Outline tab on the sidebar. The Outline tab lists the title and duration of each slide. You can use the Outline tab to display information and to move to a specific slide in the presentation. A glow color will highlight the current slide, which you can change in the theme. You can only display the highlight outline to attendees, hosts, and presenters.

Use the following steps to work along with the presentation outline tab.

  1. Select the Outline tab in the sidebar at the right.

  2. To move to a slide in the presentation, select its title in the Outline tab.

  3. To show the full slide title, move the pointer over the title.

Use the Presentation Thumb tab

Note:

This feature is not supported in HTML browser.

Presentations can have a Thumb tab on the sidebar. The Thumb tab shows a small picture of each slide, the slide title, and the slide duration. The current slide is highlighted with a glow color, which you can change in the theme. You can use the Thumb tab to see the contents of each slide quickly and to move to a specific slide in the presentation.

Note:

If you upload your presentations directly from your computer and into a meeting, the Thumb tab is not displayed. Adobe recommends adding presentations to a meeting from the Content library.

  1. Click the Thumb tab in the sidebar at the right.
  2. To move to a slide, click its title in the Thumb tab.
  3. To show the slide title, move the pointer over the title.

View Presentation slide notes

When creating a presentation in PowerPoint, you can enter notes for individual slides. If any slide notes exist, they can be displayed in the presentation. Slide notes appear on the right side of the presentation window. You cannot change the size of the slide Notes tab.

  1. Click the Notes tab in the sidebar on the right side.

    The complete notes text is displayed. The text is not formatted and cannot be edited directly on the tab.

Search for text in a presentation

  1. Click the Search tab in the sidebar on the right side.

  2. Type the text to search for directly into the text box.
  3. Click Search.

  4. Search results are displayed below the text box. Click any slide title in the results list to display that slide.

Presentation toolbar options

You can control the presentation appearance and playback by using the toolbar at the bottom of the presentation. (To see all presentation toolbar options, load the presentation file in the Content library from Adobe Presenter. If you load the PowerPoint PPT or PPTX file directly into the Share pod from your computer, not all presentation toolbar options are visible. Delsect Sync navigation with participants  at the upper right corner of the presentation.
