PowerPoint presentations can be imported into a Centra eMeeting before or during a live session. Imported PowerPoint presentations are automatically converted to .GIF and .JPG files.

Centra eMeeting offers you a control panel called Agenda to manage your main presentation. In the Agenda you can store all the content you want to present during your meeting, including PowerPoint presentations, URLs of Web sites and whiteboard sketches (which may contain images). Once the content is listed in the agenda you can flexibly access it and select it for presentation at any time during the meeting. The Agenda is based on a folder structure (like Windows Explorer), which allows you to directly access any page inside a multi-page document or presentation.

There are different roads to follow for each type of visual content you want to import into the Agenda and these roads are not signposted clearly enough. This can create fusion and make it longer than necessary to learn how to most efficiently use the Agenda.

If you want to import a PowerPoint presentation or a Web site URL you have to access the Tools menu and select the respective options ("Import…" for PowerPoint presentations and "Insert URL…" for Web site URLs).

However, if you want to store an image in the Agenda you first have to upload it to the whiteboard.

You can then use the Floppy disk icon in the Whiteboard area to store the image in the Agenda. If you want to store a whiteboard sketch you created yourself in the Agenda you also click the Floppy disk icon.

Whiteboard mark-up and annotation tools can be utilized to emphasize your point on presentations, drawings and images displayed through the Agenda facility. Participants can mark up Agenda contents only when they have microphone control in a meeting (the moderator can grant this right).
