Many people find that their music, narration and other sounds they've embedded into their PowerPoint presentations play normally when they upload the presentations to PowerShow.com. But some people find that their inserted sound files don't play at all, even though they play just fine on their PC. If this is happening to you, it can easily be fixed. But before reading how to fix the problem, it is probably worth reading a few sentences about why this happens so you'll better understand how to fix it.

Background info: A WAV file is a file in which Windows stores sounds as waveforms. Such files have the extension .wav. Depending on compression and other factors, one minute of sound can occupy as little as 644 kilobytes or as much as 27 megabytes of storage. This is the file format most commonly used for PowerPoint audio although some other audio file formats are sometimes used instead.

Before PowerPoint 2010, by default, PowerPoint only embedded WAV sound files under 100 kilobytes (KB) each in size into your presentation files. All other inserted sound files, including all non-WAV formats and even WAV files greater than 100 KB were not embedded into presentation files. Rather, only links to those files were stored in your main PowerPoint presentation file. As long as your presentation is still on your same PC, PowerPoint will find those external sound files and play them as usual. But if you upload the same presentation file to PowerShow.com or, for that matter, if you copy your presentation file to any other PC, you probably won't hear the sound because the sound file generally won't be there where PowerPoint needs it.

But there are at least 2 simple ways to solve this problem! One is to upload your presentations to PowerShow.com using the new (Windows-based) PowerPlugs: Uploader for PowerShow.com. It is a brand-new PowerPoint plugin that will quickly and easily upload your current presentation, and all its linked files (including all its audio, video, Flash, Excel, Word and other file types) to PowerShow.com. And it lets you do this without ever even leaving PowerPoint. To download and install PowerPlugs: Uploader for PowerShow, click on the following hyperlink: PowerPlugs Uploader for PowerShow.com. Then select "Open" to start up the installer. Once it is installed, you just need to start up PowerPoint, load the presentation you want to upload to PowerShow.com, then find the "Upload to PowerShow.com" item in the PowerPoint>Add-Ins ribbon and run it. That's it. Problem solved.

The second simple way to solve the problem (if you don't want to - or for some reason can't - use the method described immediately above) is reinsert your sounds, this time being careful to embed them rather than just link to them. And of course make sure they are in the WAV format. If they are not currently in the WAV format, there are several tools available on the Internet that can convert your non-WAV files to Microsoft's native WAV format. And, if your WAV files are larger than 100 kb (and most WAV files are larger than that) you can easily embed them into your presentation as long as they are no larger than 50 MB (and most WAV files are smaller than that). Here's how:

For PowerPoint 2007: Right click the embedded sound icon. Then, in the ribbon, take a look at Sound Tools > Options tab > Sound Options group, as is shown in the lower left below.

You'll see the text "Max Sound File Size (KB)" in lower, slightly left portion of the above toolbar. Change the number to 50000 Kb. (That is the same as 50 Mb which will allow for even fairly large audio files.)
Unfortunately, changes made to this PowerPoint setting are not retroactive. So, any large sound files that were added before you increased the maximum sound file size must be deleted from the presentation and then reinserted into your presentation if you want them to be embedded.

For PowerPoint 2000 - 2003: Click on PowerPoint > Tools > Options > General tab. This is what you'll see:

You'll see the 3rd option in the dialog "Link sounds with file size greater than [ 100 ] Kb". Change the current number to 50000 Kb. (That is the same as 50 Mb which will allow for even fairly large audio files.)
Unfortunately, changes made to this PowerPoint setting are not retroactive. So, any large sound files that were added before you increased the maximum sound file size must be deleted from the presentation and then reinserted into your presentation if you want them to be embedded.

1. PowerShow.com allows you to quickly find, view, rate and comment on its huge and easily searchable database of PowerPoint presentations.
2. PowerShow.com supports almost all of the multimedia and navigation features of PowerPoint, so the quality of your presentations can be their best.
3. Presenters can easily share confidential presentations with others privately, complete with unsurpassed control over who can view their presentations and when, backed up with valuable viewing reports.
4. The vast majority of presentations on PowerShow.com are completely free to upload and free to view. In fact, PowerShow.com allows everyone to upload, publicly share, and view personal and educational presentations for free. Alternatively, presenters can now make money with their training and other presentations by marking them as "pay-to-view", in which case they can set their own price that viewers would need to pay to view them. Private and promotional presentations may be shared very affordably.

1. Information seekers will find PowerShow.com to be a great treasure chest of presentations covering 1,000s of subjects, presented in an easily digested format, thanks to their combined use of text, with photos, narration, animation, sound effects and video clips. So, they can be more interesting and information rich than just text, and more interactive than just video.
2. Amusement seekers will find 1,000s of fun and entertaining slide shows on PowerShow.com about animals, far-away places, amazing photos, fashion and much more.
3. Professional people of all types will find that PowerShow.com is a great tool for transmitting their presentations to their targeted audiences - while still maintaining full control over them. Now you can prevent unauthorized people from viewing them. And you'll know exactly which authorized people did view them. And, if you want, you can even restrict when your presentations will be visible to others, such as only during a planned webinar, or only after your planned convention presentation, for example.
4. Students will benefit from being able to upload their presentations to PowerShow.com. No more lost memory sticks, or problems installing your presentations on your school's outdated or incompatible computers. And since PowerShow.com converts all its presentations to the universal Flash format, you will know in advance that your important school presentation will download very quickly and will look exactly the same way in front of the class as it did on your home computer.

1. It eliminates the problem of your PowerPoint email attachments getting blocked by your email recipient's firewalls or antivirus software.
2. It prevents your email recipients from getting mad at you for slowing down their email downloading or filling up their hard drives with huge attachments.
3. It puts you in control of who can view your presentations and when.
4. It prevents your authorized viewers from forwarding your presentation to others.
5. It provides you with full reports of exactly who viewed your private presentations and when.

1. Multimedia support: Presentations on PowerShow.com are better thanks to PowerShow.com's full support for virtually all of PowerPoint's multimedia features, including:
   1. Audio: If your audio (narrations, music, or other sound effects) are properly embedded into PowerPoint, your audio simply works in PowerShow.com. No need to upload the audio to a third-party website and then try to synchronize the audio with the slideshow!
   2. Transition effects: If they are there in PowerPoint, they will be there on PowerShow.com. OK, there are a few of the less-common transition effects that we don't yet support. But, if you happen to use those less-common transition effects, PowerShow.com will still display high-quality dissolves between slides. So, your slideshows will still look very good.
   3. Animation effects: Whether you want the text to fly in when the user clicks the mouse or you want something to appear at just the right time, or you want to use animation in any of 100 other ways, we've got you covered! Simply put, PowerShow.com supports PowerPoint's animation effects while some (better known) older sites do not.
   4. Flash: If you embed it into your PowerPoint presentation, PowerShow.com will display it. No problem. BTW, we recommend PowerPlugs: FlashReady as the best tool for embedding Flash into PowerPoint. We also recommend that you use the PowerPlugs: Uploader for PowerShow.com to upload presentations that contain Flash. (Click here for info)
2. Superior privacy: PowerShow.com has better privacy than other presentation sharing websites.
   1. Not only does it allow you to set a password on a presentation, as some other sites do, it also allows you to limit access to specific people you invite.
   2. It also allows you to optionally limit the total number of viewers to a limit you can set.
   3. It also allows you to specify a date and time range that people can view the presentation.
   4. And it provides reports to you about who actually views your private presentations, for privacy auditing and verification.
3. A PowerPoint-like Flash player: Unlike some other presentation sharing websites, PowerShow.com features a PowerPoint style Flash player that lets you control presentations the same way that PowerPoint does. In other words, it not only responds to mouse clicks, it does so exactly the same way that PowerPoint does. So, for example, if you click on a hyperlink, it will take you there, whether it is to a hidden slide in your presentation or to another website. And if you click anywhere else, it will trigger the next event on the slide - just like PowerPoint. Likewise, the PowerShow.com Flash player responds as any PowerPoint user would expect to the arrow keys, space bar, the Enter key and other commonly used keyboard shortcuts. Honestly, it is attention to little (but important) details that can make your life so much easier than what you'll experience on our competitors' websites.

PowerShow.com accurately reproduces PowerPoint presentations with their presenter-specified automatic slide timing, embedded WAV-format audio (including both music and narration), most PowerPoint transition effects, most, if not all, of PowerPoint's animation effects as well as animated GIFs, hyperlinks and hidden slides. If embedded WMV videos are not already supported by the time you read this, they will be supported very soon thanks to a PowerPoint plugin we will soon be providing to our PowerShow.com users free of charge.

Yes. If you have embedded Flash movies or effects into your PowerPoint presentations, PowerShow.com will automatically support them as you would expect. And, BTW, we recommend PowerPlugs: FlashReady as the easiest tool to use to embed your Flash movies and effects into PowerPoint.

Yes. If your PowerPoint presentation has properly embedded links to Flash videos that stream from sites like YouTube.com, PowerShow.com will automatically support them as you would expect. And, BTW, we recommend PowerPlugs: FlashReady as the easiest tool to use to properly embed links within PowerPoint to videos stored on YouTube.com and other such video streaming websites.

Yes.

PowerShow.com allows anyone to upload, publicly share, and view most presentations for free. But it also offers presenters the option to increase the visibility of their presentations for a very affordable rate. And PowerShow.com even enables presenters to make money with their training and other presentations by allowing them to mark their presentations as "pay-to-view", in which case the presenter can set the price that viewers will need to pay to view the presentation.

In the case of PowerShow.com, that is a presentation that has been converted from one of Microsoft's proprietary PowerPoint formats to the Adobe Flash (SWF) format.

Flash is the default presentation format on PowerShow.com for three main reasons:

1. The Flash format is universally adopted. It is already preinstalled on over 99% of all PCs, Macs and Unix computers. So, compatibility issues are almost non-existent.
2. Presentation response times when viewing a Flash format presentation can be almost immediate, due to the facts that the file format is extremely compact and the slides can be streamed one at a time.
3. The Flash format is very virus resistant.

You need Flash version 9.0 or above. FYI: Currently over 95% of all computers that access the Internet already have Flash 9.0 or above installed on them.

No. According to the experts, Flash presentations can't carry viruses. But since, despite all reasonable precautions, any website you visit can carry viruses, it is important to always have up-to-date antivirus software on your personal computer.

1. It is possible that you have clicked on a thumbnail that is missing its Flash presentation. This is rare, but it has happened before. (Computers still aren't perfect!) You can find out if this is the problem you are encountering by simply clicking on a different thumbnail image and see if you can see that presentation. If you can, then it is just a problem with that presentation. If you can't see that presentation either, then go on to the next troubleshooting step below.
2. The next thing to try is to see if your browser can see any Flash at all. A simple way to test for that is to go to YouTube.com and see if you can see the videos there. If you can, then you should talk with your network administrator to see if PowerShow.com's Flash player is being blocked by your corporate firewall. If you can't see the videos on YouTube, then go on to the next troubleshooting step below.
3. If you get to this step, you might have a problem with Flash on your computer. In this case, we recommend downloading the latest version of the Flash Player from Adobe. Click here to download that free update from Adobe.com.
4. If you are still having problems viewing the Flash presentations on PowerShow.com, it may be that Flash is not properly installed on your computer. This is especially likely if you got any error messages during your Flash Player updating process. In this case, you might need to try reducing your browser's security settings to Medium, which works for some people, or try uninstalling the Flash Player and reinstalling it from scratch. For more tips, click here to go to Adobe's user forum on the Flash Player.
5. If you are still unable to view any Flash presentations on PowerShow.com, you may not have JavaScript enabled on your browser. Here are two YouTube videos that will show you how to correct this problem.
   1. Click here for video instructions related to Internet Explorer.
   2. Click here for video instructions related to Mozilla Firefox.
6. It you have done all of the above, and you are still not able to view the Flash presentations on PowerShow.com, you may have a problem with your browser. (Sometimes you can have Flash working with Firefox but not working with Internet Explorer, for instance.) So, you might want to try viewing a presentation on PowerShow.com with a different browser. (e.g., if you had a problem with Internet Explorer, try Firefox or Chrome.) If one browser works, but the other one doesn't, I'd suggest declaring victory and use the browser that works.

That is a PowerPoint "Show". In other words, it is a presentation that is saved in a format that, by default, opens in a play-only mode. This makes it more difficult for others to open and edit it, possibly making changes that you don't want them to make. PPS is the PowerPoint Show format for PowerPoint 2003 and before. PPSX is the PowerPoint Show format for PowerPoint 2007 and above.

Not necessarily. The latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer also does a pretty good job of playing back Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. But even though both products are from Microsoft, we have noticed that it may not always be 100% accurate at reproducing all the PowerPoint effects. So, if you want to make sure you are seeing the presentation exactly the way the presenter intended it, then we advise downloading the PowerPoint Viewer from Microsoft.com if you don't already have the latest version of PowerPoint on your computer. Click here to download that free PowerPoint Viewer from Microsoft.com

Whenever a presentation is uploaded to PowerShow.com, the first thing we do is scan it, not only for viruses, but also for Visual Basic macros that may be embedded in it. If we find any, we automatically remove them before adding the presentation to PowerShow.com. If, for any reason, we find but cannot remove a virus or macro from a presentation, it will not be included in PowerShow.com's listings.

That simply means that the person who created or uploaded the presentation did not authorize us to allow people to download the PPS or PPSX version of the presentation.

Here are some of the things that can cause problems when opening or viewing a presentation in the PPS format:

1. The presentation download file may be getting blocked by your browser, or a browser plugin. Look around your browser for a message that a download or pop-up is being blocked, and then click to enable the download or to enable all downloads or pop-ups from this site.
2. You are not using the latest version of Internet Explorer or you do not have PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer installed on your PC. Switch over to Internet Explorer or click here to get the free PowerPoint Viewer from Microsoft.com
3. The presentation download file could be getting blocked by your anti-virus program. Try to open your antivirus program's console or menu, and check to see if it is blocking a file. It should give instructions as to how to enable the download.

What we mean by "Share" is that you can embed the presentation into your own website using the embed code we provide or embed it into a social networking website such as Facebook.com by simply clicking on the appropriate icon in the Share dialog, then following the instructions from there. Or you could add a link to the presentation on a bookmarking site such as Digg.com also by clicking on the appropriate icon in the Share dialog, then following the instructions from there.

If the Share button is enabled you can. Otherwise, we are not authorized by the presenter to give you permission to do so.

Generally not. You are still legally responsible for respecting the copyrights of others. And, unless the permission is specifically granted in the presentation or in its description, you should assume that you are not authorized to freely use the content other than for your personal viewing.

Just click on the Share button under the Flash player if it is enabled, then click on the icon for the site you want to embed the presentation into. Or use the embed code if there is no icon for that website. If it is not enabled (i.e. if it is grayed out) then the presenter has not granted you the permission to share the presentation with others.

Just click on the Share button under the Flash player if it is enabled, then click on the icon for the site you want to bookmark the presentation at. If it is not enabled (i.e. if it is grayed out) then the presenter has not granted you the permission to share the presentation with others.

Just use the Send button. It will allow you to use your own email program (which will generally give you access to your own email address book) or PowerShow.com's own email program (which will generally provide the best-looking email).

1. Favoriting and Uploading: We need to know who is Favoriting or Uploading a presentation so we can associate that presentation name with the appropriate profile. Also, if someone Uploads a presentation, and it gets flagged, we need to know who to contact in case they want to dispute their presentation's flagged status.
2. Commenting, Flagging, Tagging and Rating: We believe that people will act more socially responsibly while commenting, flagging, tagging and rating presentations if they are signed up and logged in when they do so.

We need your email address so that we can send a confirmation email to you, to verify that you are a real person and not just a spam-bot. Also, we may need to contact you in case there are any problems with your uploaded presentation. But, don't worry. We promise to keep your email address strictly confidential. We'll never sell it or share it with any other company!

You need to open the sign-up confirmation email that PowerShow.com sent you and click on the included link to complete your signup process. If for some reason, you didn't get that email, please go to the PowerShow.com login page (http://www.powershow.com/user/login) and enter your login information. You will then be asked if you want the confirmation email to be resent. Indicate that you want it resent to you, and you will receive another confirmation email. If the email does not come into your email program's inbox, please check your 'junk' or 'spam' folder, as the email may be in there. (If you find it in your junk mail folder, be sure to add PowerShow.com to your trusted senders list so this doesn't happen again.) If you still didn't get the email, it is possible that you entered the wrong email address into PowerShow.com when you signed up. In that case, you'll should try signing up again and be sure to enter your email address very carefully. Then, once you get the confirmation email, click on the link in the email and you should be ready to go!

Yes you can, as long as you are signed up and logged in.

Yes.

That is simply a way for logged in users to quickly give feedback to the comments you find on PowerShow.com.

Yes you can. Go to My Account. Click on the link "Other people's presentations I've favorited". Then, click on the Remove button next to the presentation you want to "un-Favorite".

Yes. Just rate it again. When you do, your old rating will be discarded and only your new rating will be considered in the accumulated ratings for the presentation.

No. As stated above, if you rate a presentation more than once, your old rating will be discarded and only your new rating will be considered in the accumulated ratings for the presentation.

No.

Not necessarily. Before quarantining a presentation (so it doesn't appear to website visitors) PowerShow.com considers the flag category as well as the number of people who have viewed the same presentation and didn't flag it as well as the percentage of viewers who did flag it. Once it is quarantined, an email will then be automatically sent to the uploader to see if he or she wants to dispute the pending removal of the presentation from the website. If the presenter does decide to dispute it, it will be evaluated by duly appointed personnel to make a subjective judgment, based on the website's community guidelines.

A tag is just a representative word or phrase that could be useful for finding the presentation by searchers on PowerShow.com or even by external search engines.

Yes you can.

PowerShow.com accepts these standard PowerPoint formats: PPS, PPT, PPSX and PPTX.

Yes. Most of them. The few that are not yet supported will be replaced with high quality dissolve effects.

No. Not yet. But we're working on it!

Use the PowerPlugs: Uploader for PowerShow.com to upload your presentation. (Click here for info) The PowerPlugs: Uploader will find and upload the video files, which will be embedded into your presentation on PowerShow.com.
Here are a couple of other solutions:

1. Upload your videos to YouTube, then link to them from within your PowerPoint presentations. And, BTW, we recommend PowerPlugs: FlashReady as the easiest tool to use to properly embed links within PowerPoint to videos stored on YouTube.com and other such video streaming websites.
2. Convert your WMV videos you use in your soon-to-be uploaded presentation to the Flash (SWF) format and then embed them into your PowerPoint presentation. And, BTW, we recommend PowerPlugs: FlashReady as the easiest tool to use to properly embed Flash videos into PowerPoint.

PowerShow.com also accurately reproduces PowerPoint presentations with their presenter-specified automatic slide timing, most, if not all, of PowerPoint's animation effects as well as animated GIFs, hyperlinks and hidden slides.

Log into PowerShow.com. Click on the "My Account" link in the upper right corner of the page. Click on the "My Presentations" link. Find the presentation you want to delete, and click on its "Delete" button.

The maximum size of an individual presentation can be up to 100MB.

Yes you can. In fact, PowerShow.com offers best-of-class tools to protect your privacy.

1. Not only does it allow you to set a password on a presentation, as some other sites do, it also allows you to limit access to specific people you invite.
2. It also allows you to optionally limit the total number of viewers to a limit you can set.
3. It also allows you to specify a date and time range that people can view the presentation.
4. And it provides reports to you about who actually views your private presentations, for privacy auditing and verification.

Yes.

Yes you can. Just click on My Account. Then click on My Presentations. Then click on Viewer Report (available only for presentations marked as Private). That personalized report will tell you exactly who viewed your presentation and when. It will even tell you their email address and IP address, which can be very useful information for ensuring the privacy of your confidential presentations.

Yes you can. In fact, it is a good procedure to mark all presentations as Private when you upload them. That way you can review them to make sure they look their best before you release them for public viewing.

Yes you can. One of the uploading options is to list the presenter name as "Username withheld". This will help you feel more comfortable uploading presentations on political or other controversial subjects where you are simply interested in expressing your opinion without getting caught up in a verbal war of words with others.

Yes you can. When you upload a presentation to PowerShow.com, you have these options as well as many others. You will always have full control and undisputed ownership rights over your presentations that you upload to PowerShow.com.

A pay-to-view presentation is one where the viewer will be able to view the first portion for free, but will be required to pay a fee if they choose to view the remainder. The person who uploads the presentation sets the price, and will be paid a generous portion of the fees that people pay-to-view the presentation.

You are able to view the first portion of the presentation for free. Then you will be provided instructions for how to sign up and pay a fee, which usually only takes a few minutes. After successful payment, you can log into PowerShow.com and view the presentation at a time you choose and at your own pace.

There are 2 ways to designate a presentation as pay-to-view. Both are not complicated:

1. When you upload a presentation:

   Select 'Pay-to-view presentation' under the 'Privacy >> Public' option. Then enter the price the viewer will be charged.

2. Edit the settings of a presentation you have already uploaded:

   Log into your account on PowerShow.com. Go to My account >> My presentations. Find the presentation, and click on the 'Settings' button. Select 'Pay-to-view presentation' under the 'Privacy >> Public' option. Then enter the price the viewer will be charged.

We will send you a check by mail. You can find more details about this in the "Commission Fees" section of the Pay-to-View Presentation Terms and Conditions Agreement.

If you are signed into PowerShow.com, then we do not ask you to sign up for presentations that you uploaded. If you want to see what the presentation looks like to others, then just log out and view the presentation.

The PowerPlugs: Uploader is a small tool designed to upload a presentation along with any externally linked files such as audio, video, flash, excel and word documents etc. to PowerShow.com. These externally linked files can be located anywhere on your computer hard drive. As long as there is a link to that particular external file in your presentation, it will get uploaded to PowerShow along with your presentation hence allowing your presentation to play on PowerShow as it was intended by you, the user.

Download and install the program by clicking on the following hyperlink: PowerPlugs Uploader for PowerShow.com.

It is fairly easy to use. After installing the program, the PowerPlugs: Uploader will show up under "Add-Ins" section of PowerPoint: To use the Uploader, simply open your presentation that you wish to upload and then click on the "Upload to PowerShow.com" icon. After that just follow the instructions as your presentation starts uploading

There are two methods:

1. By default, your photos will be added to the slideshow in the same order that they appear in your Open dialog. If you don't like the order you see, (in Windows) switch the Open dialog to the Details view. Then click on the column heading that will give you the order you want to sort by. Then switch to the Large Icons view for maximum ease of viewing and selecting your photos.
2. Or add them in any other order you want by clicking on the Select Files button once for each photo or set of photos you want to add to your slideshow. The photos will be added to the slideshow in the order that you select them using this method.
