How do you upload Powerpoint slides into the multimedia. I want to create a lesson but want it in Quaver instead of Powerpoint.
Hi Joy!
While you can’t upload a PowerPoint file directly into Quaver, you can absolutely recreate your slides using the Multimedia screen in a Quaver lesson. To do this, export your PowerPoint slides as image files (such as JPEG or PNG), then use the “Add Image” option in the Multimedia screen to upload them.
You can also add additional custom text, audio, notes, and a color theme to enhance the original look and feel of your PowerPoint slides. Just click “Add Text” to insert new text boxes, and use the edit tools to adjust fonts, sizes, and layering.
This lets you bring your PowerPoint content into Quaver in a flexible, interactive way!
What size is the available space in order to fill the screen with an image?
Hi Diana,
The maximum image file size is 1MB. After adding the image to your multimedia page, select the resize icon to resize it. A red border will appear. Click and drag the white square to resize. Click anywhere to exit. Sizes of text boxes and images should be adjustable anywhere on your multimedia screen. Here is the section of this help page on the subject. Hope this helps!
Are GIF files supported?
Hi Morgan,
Right now, our custom multimedia screens only support text, images, and audio files. You are able to add video links to custom lessons, though. If you’d like more information on that, here is our help page on the subject!
