Using the whiteboard window in eLive

Step-by-step guide for Moderators

The whiteboard is the main presentation window. Use this region to load presentations. You can also use the tools on the whiteboard to draw, write or insert icons and images.

Load a PowerPoint presentation to the whiteboard

Note: To load a PowerPoint presentation, you must have Moderator access.

  1. Click on the Load Presentation icon in the menu to the left of the whiteboard window.
  2. In the Select Screens pop-up box, decide whether you wish to insert the file before or after a screen, replace a screen or as a sub-topic of a screen.
  3. Decide whether you wish to insert the file in relation to the Current Screen or Selected Screens.
  4. Click OK. The Load File pop-up window appears.
  5. Go to the folder containing the file you wish to load.
  6. Select Filter for PowerPoint File (*.ppt) from the Files of Type drop-down menu.
  7. Locate the file you wish to import, and select it. The file name will appear in the File Name: text box. Click Open.
  8. In the next pop-up box, select the screen size of the slides and click OK. Here you can set the whiteboard screen size based on a monitor resolution (default of 1024x768) or a customised size where you can specify the height and width of the slides.
  9. The presentation will now be loaded and each slide in the presentation or image will be loaded onto a separate whiteboard screen as a background image.
