Share Content

About

Quickly and easily present media with the Share Content feature, your go-to for spontaneous presentations or when a file is missing from the storyboard. Plus, access additional functions like displaying the whiteboard and sharing your screen from the menu. Unlike other presentation methods, content shared via the Share Content menu starts presenting immediately, eliminating the need to add it to the storyboard first.
