Brian Daly of Hypersay talks about their new Live Streaming feature. We look at the new Black Illustrations clip media from 5Four Digital.

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.
