Harman Singh is the Founder of two Internet platforms – authorSTREAM and WiZiQ. authorSTREAM is a PowerPoint sharing platform striving to make your presentations sharable on the Web – whether they are viewed from desktops, mobile phones, or tablets like iPad.
authorSTREAM recently announced changes and improvements in their premium subscription plans — Harman discusses this and more exclusively in this conversation.
Geetesh: Tell us more about the authorSTREAM premium subscription plans, and how they can help users with better presentation sharing options?
Harman: We have two types of subscription plans, called authorSTREAM Pro and Business. Both these plans collectively offer four different ways of sharing a presentation. Here are the four ways in which an authorSTREAM user can share a presentation:
These sharing options are offered under different membership plans. We also provide an option wherein users can secure the embeds of their private presentations on other websites or blogs. This gives them complete control over their private presentations. Even if some user gets the embed code from HTML source, the presentation does not play unless permitted. More, they can allow up to 5 different websites to embed their private presentations.
Geetesh: There are two premium plans: Pro and Business. How are they different from each other? Are they targeted to a different user base?
Harman: We have designed these plans keeping two different segments of users in mind. “Pro” is designed for a PowerPoint user who creates presentations to share, inform or showcase creativity. Such a user can be a blogger, trainer, entrepreneur or a manager, and would want to use authorSTREAM ad free, need extra storage for private presentations, analytics around his presentations and so on. And at the same time, we figured the right kind of price for such a user would be at less than $30/year or $2.50/month.
The other subscription plan, which we call “Business” is designed for business owners and marketers who want to use their presentations not just to share, but also for the purpose of marketing. It is also for someone who wants to completely brand their presentations with their own logo. For instance, users can remove the authorSTREAM logo from the presentation player, and get up to 5 channels that they can completely brand as their own, etc. More, we offer phone based support for such users too. This plan is available for $39.95/month.
You can read about the new Premium plans on our blog here.

Microsoft has made available STAMP (Sub-titling text add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint), a free add-in for PowerPoint that enables you to create captions for video and audio files within your PowerPoint presentations. In addition to manually adding captions, you can also work with any media files that have associated Timed Text Markup (TTML) files. This add-in lets you import the TTML files directly into your presentation. If you don’t have a TTML file, you can still add captions directly in your presentation. Having said so, TTML captions allow some extra niceties since they can be easily formatted to use text color, text alignment and other styling elements for the captions.
This add-in works in PowerPoint 2010, 2013, and non-Office 365 versions of PowerPoint 2016. All these are versions that run on Microsoft Windows.
Learn about STAMP, a PowerPoint add-in that enables you to create captions for video and audio files.
