SlideSync makes it possible to assign roles with specific permissions to different members of a team. For example, it is possible to assign the role of a Speaker to a person who is only standing in front of the camera. This allows him or her to access the live event quickly and easily with just a few clicks and to operate the most important functions.
Add Files
A speaker can add files, for example slides, videos or pictures, to the event.
To upload a file, click on Events in the left main menu, select your event from the list and then click on Files.
You can now drag and drop your file: To do so, simply drag the file into the field Drag and drop file here. You can also click into the field and select the file via your explorer.
