Zoho Launches ShowTime Plug-in for MS PowerPoint
Deliver engaging presentations from right within PowerPoint.
PLEASANTON, Calif.-- Zoho today announced that Zoho ShowTime is available for all PowerPoint users.
Zoho ShowTime is a web and mobile app focused completely on making better presenters out of speakers. Presenters can interact with their audience, drive self-improvement through feedback, and showcase their work on a secure cloud platform. ShowTime automatically projects any presentation onto the devices of the audience. Audiences can now view and participate in presentations and interact with presenters, from their own devices. Presenters, meanwhile, can view participant engagement, activity, and appreciation—so they can improve their presentations like never before.
Here's a quick video that shows you how it all works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dILGhys6Cw.
Most presenters use PowerPoint to build and deliver their presentations. ShowTime now works with PowerPoint. The presenter can drive audience engagement and participation, through ShowTime, without changing anything. By simply installing a one-time plug-in into PowerPoint, the presenter can deliver interactive presentations and engage audiences, without ever leaving the familiar PowerPoint interface.
The plug-in installs a new toolbar within PowerPoint and automatically syncs up any presentation with ShowTime to make the slideshow ready for delivery. At the start, the presenter assigns a key that audience members can use for secure access from their own computers or mobile devices.
So, how does ShowTime drive this engagement and interaction? The speaker can leave the podium, interact with the audience, and control the presentation with their phone. ShowTime always puts the speaker in control by not letting any engagement interrupt the presentation. The speaker, at her discretion, may select questions, project them on the screen, and pursue interaction as she chooses.
After the presentation, ShowTime presents the speaker with a dashboard of detailed analysis, with insights on audience engagement. For example, speakers can spot the slides that received the most likes, uncover the ones where the audience lingered the most, look at overall ratings, and do a lot more.
