You can load content into the meeting room in two ways: · Load preexisting content from your Macromedia Breeze Content Library (Breeze presentations, SWFs, JPGs, FLVs, or Macromedia FlashPaper documents created with Contribute 2. 0 and later) into a Content pod. Note: Information about the Breeze Content Library does not apply to the Breeze Live standalone product. The Content Library is available only with Breeze Presentation. · Upload content (PowerPoint slides, SWFs, JPGs, or FLVs) from your local computer to the Breeze server and then display the content in a Content pod. The uploaded content is saved in the meeting folder in the Meeting Library, not in the Content Library. Note: A Content pod is used to display preexisting content, in contrast to screen sharing, which broadcasts a live view of your desktop or an application on your desktop. Some possible scenarios for displaying content are as follows: · A Content pod contains a single Breeze presentation that is used for the entire meeting. You load the room content from the Content Library. Note: The preceding does not apply when just the Breeze Live module of the Breeze Presentation platform is purchased. · A Content pod contains a single presentation that is used for the entire meeting. You load the room content from your computer as a PowerPoint presentation before the meeting begins. You load the presentation before the meeting because it takes at least 30 seconds per slide to upload and convert the presentation to a Macromedia Flash SWF file. A Content pod contains a single image (a JPEG file) that is visible throughout the meeting. The content in a Content pod changes during a meeting, with a presenter switching between several preexisting items of meeting room content. For example, a presenter may first give one presentation and then switch to a second presentation after the first is finished. The content in a Content pod changes during a meeting, with a presenter creating and displaying a piece of new meeting room content during the meeting. For example, during a presentation, a presenter might be asked, "Do you have a picture of that new machine you just mentioned?" This image was not included in the presentation, so the presenter immediately creates a new content item containing this image (a JPEG file). · · · 51 · A custom meeting room is created and contains several Content pods, each with unique · content. For example, one Content pod displays your company's logo (a JPEG file) and another contains a Breeze presentation (a SWF file) to present during the meeting. Different Content pods are displayed in different meeting room layouts. For example, Presenter1 uses the Slides room layout with a Content pod that contains Presenter1's presentation (a SWF file). When Presenter1 finishes, Presenter2 takes over and switches to a second custom Slides room layout. A different Content pod in this layout contains Presenter2's presentation (a different SWF file). Understanding types of meeting room content Various types of files can be used as the source for meeting room content in a Content pod: Breeze presentations Breeze presentations from your Content Library. These were created ahead of time by publishing a presentation from PowerPoint using the Breeze Publish Wizard. Note: The preceding does not apply to the Breeze Live stand-alone product. The Content Library is available only with the Breeze Presentation product. Your slides are uploaded to the Breeze server, converted to a Flash SWF file, and then displayed in the meeting room. Flash content (SWFs) Flash SWF files from your Breeze Content Library or your local computer. Images (JPGs) Images stored as JPG files. [. . . ] 2 Select Organize Pods.
