When you link a narration or sound file in PowerPoint for Windows, you can still hear the audio in PowerPoint for Mac.Similarly, use DRM-free MP3s rather than WindowsMedia audio or iTunes songs or files. Always use industry standard media formats that are not too platform specific: stay away from WindowsMedia and QuickTime file formats – use MPEG videos.Keep things simple – and use PowerPoint’s drawing tools to create shapes and drawings rather than using content from a third party application.What this means is if you insert Flash movies (such as those from YouTube) into a presentation using PowerPoint for Windows, the Flash files will not play on the Mac. ActiveX is a Microsoft technology and is not available on the Mac platform.

ActiveX is the same Windows-based technology that allows you to play Adobe Flash and Director movies inside Internet Explorer and other applications, including PowerPoint.

The major classrooms and Auditorium at the Upjohn campus contain Mac computers.

The Media Room and most conference rooms at the Oakland Drive Campus and Borgess Psych department contain Windows PCs.

Most rooms contain both an HDMI and VGA input but some may only contain one.

A presenter should check over their presentation ahead of time to ensure everything should work properly, especially when using the room provided equipment.

It is suggested that a presenter use their own device whenever possible.Posted by, Last modified by on 11 August 2016 03:47 PM
