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.
