About
Slides add synchronized visual elements to your video. You can upload full slide decks or individual slide images to appear at specific points in your timeline. Slides are visible in the player and enhance the viewing experience alongside your content.
The Chapters module must be enabled before using this feature.
In KMS and LMS Video instances that are set with remote storage configuration, slides on entries are stored and played from the remote storage.
