Re: Download Powerpoint 365
Austin Vermont
I tried to back up all my files last night and they seem to have vanished from my laptop and are now only on my dropbox. When I tried to download them back to my mac, all of my powerpoints now have a spaceship symbol next to them (word and excel documents still have the normal symbol next to them and open fine) and wont open. Dropbox says there is an error previewing them but gives me the option to download however when I download my laptop says there is no availible application to open the document with (depsite it being a ppt and I have ppt). I have no idea what to do as im new to dropbox and fear I may have lost 3 years of uni work.

Thanks, I've managed to access my iCloud drive however they aren't on the iCloud drive either or in my recently deleted on iCloud. Furthermore the un-openable files have no vanished from my dropbox app. I have no idea what's happened? Any more suggestions?
Yes, you will need a 2nd monitor connected to your Mac. When you put Powerpoint in Presentation mode the slideshow feed is basically being sent to another screen, in the past that would typically have been a projector. Since there is no other screen or output connected GoToMeeting ends up sharing a white screen. If you connect another monitor and then select to share the Slideshow it will be displayed correctly for your attendees.
I guess it's necessary to let a relator share a powerpoint presentation in speaker mode NOT ONLY having a 2nd monitor connected. That's because a lot of conference call are perfomed in small environment, like room, during covid quarantine. I hope you'll fix this issue in the future.
I am a new user to Panopto. I am a university faculty member and am trying to record my lectures with my powerpoint slides. When I share the screen as per the instructions, the powerpoint slides do not work. I get a single screen that will not move to the next slide. I am trying to go through the powerpoint slides with my picture in the corner or, better yet, side by side the powerpoints. But the program does not seem to work as the instructions indicate it should.
I have tried the application window and chrome tab options. When I select the application window, Panopto goes to the application, but I am not in the window. It is just the powerpoint slides. When I go back to the browser with the camera, I see the powerpoint slide in but the powerpoint slides will not work.
If you have access to Panopto through your university, I would recommend recording with the Panopto desktop recorder instead of the new Panopto Capture web app. Here is the guide for that: -recording-1
This is how you would record when recording the whole screen. If you would like to record just the powerpoint application (not the whole screen), follow step 5.2 of this article: -to-Create-a-Video-Using-Panopto-Capture#hTargetInstance4
Kathryn, Thanks for your help. I thought that I had figured it out. In fact, I was able to record several videos exactly like I wanted. However, now I have run into a different problem. I cannot get Panopto to record the camera. I have been trying to record a side-by-side lecture using Google Slides using the free recorder available at panopto.com (I have used the pro recorder as well and the same thing happens). I select the microphone, then the camera, then a select the google tab with the particular google slide show that I want to use. I have it set by side-by-by side presentation. I hit record and then go to the Chrome tab with the slide show. I record the lecture going through the slides. At the end, then I switch back to panopto and stop the recording. I upload it to my Pro folder and find that only the sound recorded. The camera is not recording my face. I have recorded the lecture at least 8 times trying to get the side-by-side presentation. I have switched computers, I have tried using picture in a picture. I have tried recording with just the slide show appearing. Nothing has worked. I cannot get panopto to record my face and the slides in the same presentation. Have you any advice on what I need to do to get this to work? I am at my wits end. I am using Panopto because it is the only software that I could find that would do side-by-side presentations. I was able to make several that worked just fine. Now I cannot get it to record using the camera. It seems that whenever I start recording, the camera is turned off. Help!
Also, it is possible that another application is trying to access your camera at the same time as Panopto which could cause a conflict - if you have any other camera-using applications open, please make sure to close them.
If you desperately need to import powerpoint slides into Moodle, and I you are getting this error message because you are using Powerpoint 2003 (MS Office 2003), I can try to lay my hands on a workaround I found some time ago to solve that problem.
The above works in Moodle 1.6 and 1.7 without any changes for presentations created with versions of PowerPoint prior to MS Office 2003. If you want to use presentations made with PowerPoint 2003 you'll have to make a minor change in file moodle\mod\lesson\importppt.php around line 135.
Just to throw a small 'spanner in the works' I uploaded a ppt2003 file after making the changes suggested and it worked, not entirely as i expected but it did work, so fired with enthusiasm I decided to try it out on some other ppt files some with graphics and it did not work, even after converting the files to plain, graphic'less' text with no colour, it still did work. The error message was 'cannot load data' which has been reported in another forum, but that thread was talking about uploading ppt2003 files to 1.5.x. Anyone have any ideas.
My first attempt was with a plain ppt that had always been a plain ppt and that worked, my second attempt was with a pretty ppt which did not work. Then I looked into it further and discovered the tips page and turned the pretty ppt into a plain ppt but it still did not work and now having just tested it again does not work with the original plain ppt.
