How to upload a presentation & enable for download

In order to upload documents and enable them for download you must first have the presenter role.

By default the first Moderator to enter the Meetup1 session is allocated presenter role capabilities; if you are a viewer you will need to request presenter status from the moderator. 

When a user is assigned the presenter role, a presenter icon will be displayed over their avatar in the user list.

Before uploading, ensure that your documents meet the size and format requirements. Each document can be up to 30 MB or 150 pages, and you can upload multiple files as long as they stay within these limits.

Meetup1 supports a variety of file formats, including Office documents (.doc, .docx, .pptx), text files (.txt), images (.png, .jpg), and Adobe Acrobat files (.pdf). For optimal performance, we recommend converting your documents to .pdf before uploading.

To upload your files…

Select the Actions menu [1] in the lower left hand corner of the presentation window, then choose Manage presentations [2].

The Meetup1 presentation uploader will appear. The uploader allows you to drag and drop [3] files into the uploader or browse for files [4] on your OS. 

When uploading multiple files at once, be sure to set the file you’d like to be displayed by default, then check the green circle to the right of the document. 

After selecting the file(s) you wish to upload, click “Start” to begin the conversion and upload process.

The time it takes to complete the upload will depend on the size of the document, so please allow a few moments for it to fully convert and upload to the meeting.

Enabling Document Downloads

Presenters have the option to enable document downloads for viewers during the live conference. This can be done at any time after the document has been uploaded.

To enable, select the enable download icon located to the right of the document. 

The icon will change to green to indicate the document selected can be downloaded by viewers.

What Viewers See

Viewers will be able to download the enabled documents via the file download icon in the bottom left of their screens.

Switching Between Presentations

Once you have uploaded all of your presentations, you can then switch between them on the fly.  

Select the Actions menu [1] in the lower left hand corner of the presentation window, then choose a presentation from one of the already uploaded options [2].
