Hosting a presentation
If you want to host a presentation, first you need to have a MAGIX Online World account. If you don't
have one already, go to the Remote Presentation Manager's introduction page at
http://presenter.xara.com/ and click the Create a MAGIX Online World account
button and follow the instructions. If you already have an account, sign in as described below.
Go to the Remote Presentation Manager's introduction page and type in your email address and MAGIX
Online World password, then click Sign in
.
Under Create a Presentation
, type in a title for your presentation and the URL to the web page that your presentation is on.
Note
: The URL that you supply has to be to a presentation, and not just an ordinary web page, otherwise the
Remote Presentation Manager will not work.
Type a welcome message in the Message for Viewers
box. This message will be displayed at the start of the session, so it's a good idea to include the time and
date of the session, plus some brief information on what the presentation is about.
Click the Create Presentation
button.
Your presentation is displayed in the list on the right. The password that attendees will need to enter your
session is displayed under Code. Copy and paste this to send to attendees, along with the session URL,
which you can generate by clicking the Copy URL button. You can also see the URL by clicking Start
to begin the presentation. The URL is displayed in the top left of the Remote Presentation Manager
window.
When your session time arrives, click the Start
button next to your presentation. As each attendee signs in (by clicking the URL and entering the
password code you sent), you see their name displayed in a list on the top left of the window.
You can navigate through the presentation using the left and right keyboard arrow keys or clicking any
next/previous step buttons in your presentation. These buttons are, however, disabled for viewers, so that
you can control when the next step or page is displayed. The presentation is synchronized so that all
viewers see the current step and page no matter when they join.
Viewing a presentation
When attendees click the link you gave them, they are first asked to enter their names. The name is used
only to let you as the presenter see who is viewing your presentation. The viewer then sees the first page
of your presentation site, with the welcome message you provided displayed on top. Or if your
presentation has already started, they will see the same page as you, the presenter.
