How to do this? It’s quite simple now. Just download one of the iSpring 4.2 PowerPoint add-ins. Even the free version of this PowerPoint to Flash software supports YouTube video insert. Click YouTube icon on iSpring panel in your PowerPoint and paste a selected YouTube video URL into the appropriate field. You are also offered to watch a tutorial on how to make it happen.

Category: Announcements, Articles, Development | No Comments »

Many of the SlideBoom users have been concerned about the privacy of their slideshows. So it is now particularly pleasing to announce new presentation embed options added to ‘Pro’ account and that are great for privacy limitations.

If you want your presentation only at specific domains, you now have the right feature for that:

“Allow embedding this presentation to trusted domains only” and “Allow embedding this presentation to the following domains only”:

Say you only want your embedded presentation viewed at your webpage, but not embedded elsewhere. Then all you do is enter your webpage domain and that’s it! As it will be the only domain specified, all the others will be disabled for embedding this particular presentation.

You are additionally offered to create a trusted domains list and apply it for multiple slideshows:

This feature solves the problem of your presentation privacy. Thus it certainly adds up to the pros of the ‘Pro’ account.
