A Content pod displays preexisting content (PowerPoint slides, Breeze presentations, SWFs,
JPGs, or FLVs) to meeting participants. You can load content into the meeting room in two ways:
•
Load preexisting content from your Macromedia Breeze Content Library (Breeze
presentations, SWFs, JPGs, FLVs, or Macromedia FlashPaper documents created with
Contribute 2.0 and later) into a Content pod.
Note: Information about the Breeze Content Library does not apply to the Breeze Live stand-
alone product.The Content Library is available only with Breeze Presentation.
•
Upload content (PowerPoint slides, SWFs, JPGs, or FLVs) from your local computer to the
Breeze server and then display the content in a Content pod. The uploaded content is saved in
the meeting folder in the Meeting Library, not in the Content Library.
Note: A Content pod is used to display preexisting content, in contrast to screen sharing, which
broadcasts a live view of your desktop or an application on your desktop.
Some possible scenarios for displaying content are as follows:
•
A Content pod contains a single Breeze presentation that is used for the entire meeting. You
load the room content from the Content Library.
Note: The preceding does not apply when just the Breeze Live module of the Breeze
Presentation platform is purchased.
•
A Content pod contains a single presentation that is used for the entire meeting. You load the
room content from your computer as a PowerPoint presentation before the meeting begins. You
load the presentation before the meeting because it takes at least 30 seconds per slide to upload
and convert the presentation to a Macromedia Flash SWF file.
•
A Content pod contains a single image (a JPEG file) that is visible throughout the meeting. For
example, the image may be a company logo or a presenter picture.
•
The content in a Content pod changes during a meeting, with a presenter switching between
several preexisting items of meeting room content. For example, a presenter may first give one
presentation and then switch to a second presentation after the first is finished.
•
The content in a Content pod changes during a meeting, with a presenter creating and
displaying a piece of new meeting room content during the meeting. For example, during a
presentation, a presenter might be asked, "Do you have a picture of that new machine you just
mentioned?" This image was not included in the presentation, so the presenter immediately
creates a new content item containing this image (a JPEG file).
