how to transfer control to power point

David Philip Speas

hey all,

recently had a man ask if i could import a power point file with audio attached.  apparently, he has a subtle zoom on some of the slides and wanted to know if the "transfer control to power point" option allowed the slides to zoom, be on the timer they were on in power point, and even have background audio.

any insight would be greatly appreciated as this is time sensitive.  also, if you can, how does it work? 

in christ,

pastor david

ps.  i do have the latest power point on my machine and it is a windows computer...;)

Hello, sorry for the delay.

Here are two articles that may help you:

http://support.proclaimonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/202685969-Import-PowerPoint

http://support.proclaimonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/204466529-How-do-I-add-Web-based-presentations-to-Proclaim-

The first describes transferring control to PowerPoint. Essentially, after you follow the steps in the document, you will see a service item for the powerpoint. Once you navigate to it in Preview, PowerPoint will take over on the output screen. Once it is finished you will be brought to normal.

I know audio does work, and I assume timings will work, although I haven't tried it myself.

The second involves having a Microsoft account. You can upload PowerPoints to Microsoft's web app and then embed the PowerPoint inside Proclaim. 

Hope that helps!
