Uploading and Sharing Content

Uploading From Your Computer

You can load .PPT, .SWF, .JPEG, .MP3, or .FLV files from your computer into a Share pod, which loads them onto the server. PowerPoint files are converted to presentations that all participants can see. Follow these instructions to upload a file:

1. In the Share pod, click the Documents button.
   
2. From the drop-down menu, click Select from My Computer to access your files.

   Content Library

   You can also select files from your Content Library. See section below for information on how to access it.

3. Your file will take a moment to load and then be available to all participants.
   

Uploading From Your Content Library

Connect has a Content area on the server, so you can opt to upload PowerPoint presentations (or other content) in advance. This can serve as a ‘repository’ for files you may wish to use in different meeting rooms you set up. To do this, follow these instructions:

1. Log-in to http://connect.rit.edu
2. From the home page, select the Content tab from the top menu bar and click New Content.
   
3. Choose the file from your computer, provide a Title, and Save.
   
4. Once in your meeting room, instead of selecting Select from My Computer you can Select from My Content Library.
