[[File:WordPPTtoPDF.png|250px|border|alt=Convert Word documents and PowerPoint presentations into PDFS]]</big>
 
===Features NOT Available When Presenting an Uploaded File===

==Instructional Tips for Higher Bandwidth ONLY==
<p><big>When your '''bandwidth is sufficient''' ([[Meetings: Bandwidth Considerations|review Meetings bandwidth requirements]]), you will have the ability to '''share your screen''' in Meetings.<br>
[[File:CanDo-Screenshare-altversion-CROP.png|650px|border|alt=Clicking the Share Screen button to screen share]]</p>
<p>Screen sharing allows you to:</p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">share a website to:<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">display your Sakai course</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">display the Durham Tech website or Library resources</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">share another website resource</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">walk your students through a publisher site</li>
</ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">demonstrate an application installed on your device, such as:
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">[http://wiki.durhamtech.edu/wiki/images/2/28/Office365-home-installation.pdf typing something in Word or Excel]</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">a webpage editor</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">AutoCAD</li>
</ul>
</big>
===[[File:icon-Idea.png|50px|alt=Idea icon]]Screensharing Tips===
 
<big>To help your demonstration go smoothly, there are a couple of things you can do ahead of time before starting the screenshare:
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">open any web sites you will need in separate browser tabs</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">open any applications you will be demonstrating (for example, if you want to display a PowerPoint presentation, open PowerPoint and display the presentation on  your computer's desktop</li>
</ul>
</big>
 
====Screenshare's Mirror Effect====
<big>
<ul>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">When you share your screen, the presentation area displays a "mirror" of your desktop.</li>
<li style="padding-bottom: 3px">The '''mirror effect is normal''', and you and your students will see the mirror effect until you display a web site or application on your desktop.<br>
[[File:meetings-mirror.png|400px|border|alt=Mirror effect in BigBlueButton]]</li>
</ul>
</big>
