Intended audience

This document covers the activities that a presenter can perform in scheduling and conducting a
Breeze meeting. For information on creating and managing Breeze meetings, see the Using the
Breeze Manager guide. For information on participating in a meeting, see Using Breeze Live (for
Participants).

Displaying content to meeting participants

You can display the following types of content to participants:
•
Content residing on the Breeze server. Such content includes:
Breeze presentations
If you want to include PowerPoint slides in your meeting, you can upload the slides from the
Content Library (this requires that you have already published the file to the Content Library)
or you can upload the slides from your computer (see
on page 53).

•
Content displayed on your own computer screen (screen sharing). This allows you to
demonstrate any application you can run on your computer and to display content, such as an
Excel spreadsheet, that cannot be displayed from the Breeze server.
You can also display PowerPoint slides from your own computer by using screen sharing, but
the slides look better to participants when they come from the Breeze server, which displays
them as Flash slides.
•
Content displayed on a real-time whiteboard. You can choose from a selection of shapes and
tools to create text and drawings for participants. Participants can also request to use the
whiteboard at the same time.
