Remote Presentations in Zoho Show is one of those features we use extensively here at Zoho. In fact, some times when we sit in the same meeting room with no projecter, we end up doing a remote presentation and every member in the room joins the presentation from their laptops. Ofcourse, this feature was designed for presenting over the internet keeping all the members on the same slide.

In a recent update, our Zoho Show team improved this feature further with a couple of new features.

Multiple Presenters

The remote presentation feature in Zoho Show allowed a single presenter. This means, if you wanted your colleague to present a certain section of your presentation, you didn't have much luck with it. Not anymore.

Our recent update added a feature to make other participants as presenters. As a host, you can choose a participant and make him the presenter. Alternatively, a participant can request control from the host to become the presenter. When the host grants access, the slides can then be controlled by the new presenter.

At any point, the host can take the control back.


Cursor on Slides

It is easier to follow a presenter when all participants are in the same room and the presenter uses his cursor to pin point a location on the slides. Viewing a cursor on a slide is useful especially when you want to point to a section of an image in a slide, for example. But how does this work over the internet where we are just viewing the slides and not the presenter's cursor? To overcome this, some people use web conferencing apps to share the desktop so that the cursor is visible.

With this new update, all participants will now be able to view the presenter's cursor on their slides. Presenters can now point to any specific location on the slide and all participants will view the cursor at their end with the presenter's name on it. 



Ofcourse, if the presenter chooses not to broadcast his cursor location, he can disable that in remote presentation.

We hope you'll find these new enhancements useful. We are curious on know how you use the remote presentation feature in Zoho Show.
