There are tools available to show websites on PowerPoint slides like LiveWeb and LiveSlides. I’m recommending them often. You can use that to draw a web browser object on your slide, and then specify the URL to show in there. When you run your slideshow, you will see that website on a given slide. Every time the slide is shown, the website output is rebuilding and displayed again on your television screen or other display. People often use this technique to grab legacy data from a reporting website or e.g. to show local weather information.

Brian Daly worked as an American Investment Banker for 30 years in New York, Paris, and London (1983—2013).
He has re-invented himself as an entrepreneur with the assistance of the founders of Hypersay where he always learns something new every day.
In this conversation, Brian talks about the new Live Streaming feature in Hypersay.
Geetesh: Brian, tell us about the new Live Streaming option in Hypersay. Which streams are supported, and how can this feature help users who are working from home or remotely?
Brian: Hypersay was previously used in University lecture halls and business meetings to engage the audience using their mobile devices. Like many businesses, Hypersay needed to pivot into the digital world of remote presentations due to the Covid-19 virus.

I’ve been working for home because of the coronavirus lockdown, so I decided to update and revamp two tutorials. The new content has almost doubled the ideas! In the “Picture Copyrights” article, you can explore a story about what happened to someone who put in copied pictures on their PowerPoint slides. In “Is a Picture Really Worth a Thousand Words?”, you’ll find nine such scenarios, along with ideas that will help you make sure that your pictures are certainly worth a thousand words. We also feature Christian Lund, who talks about Templafy, an enterprise-grade productivity and governance platform for enterprise document, presentation, and email creation.
PowerPoint 2019 for Windows users can learn about the Save and Save As tabs of Backstage View. Also, make sure you do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates featured in the last week.
