Why Lync is great for PowerPoint Presentations

Easy for participants to add real time inputs -Lync gives the participants the ability and permission to annotate the uploaded presentation. This is great for real time collaboration of your presentation session. This feature cannot be utilized in case you just share your desktop.

• Skip slides without creating a bad impression – Normally, if you want to skip slides to reach another slide which is ahead you have to go in sequence. Alternatively, you have to come out of the presentation mode. Lync enables you to see the list of thumbnails by which you can go directly to the desired slide. The participant can only see only the slides that you share with them. They are not aware whether you’re skipping slides. This way you can avoid a poor image or embarrassment.
• Use speaker notes without the knowledge of the other participants -Thanks to Lync, your speaker notes are accessible and available to you on your screen. Here the participants cannot see them.
• Ability to deliver rich content along with the presentation – Even if you have uploaded the Power Point presentation you will have smooth access to the instant messaging conversation video and the Visual Roster of the participants.
