# Sharing content and slides

# Sharing any type of content

With TrueConf Room, you can show content from the source selected in settings, which can be:

  • Capture card (via HDMI)

  • Any of the cameras connected to the device (including a PTZ camera)

  • NDI stream.

The display device is selected in the settings at the path Settings → Video → Default content source.

To display content during a meeting, click the Slideshow button in the event control panel and select the Switch to HDMI option.

To display content instead of the camera feed (self-view) on the main screen of the meeting room when the endpoint is not in a call or conference, simply click the Switch to HDMI button on the main page of the control panel.

With TrueConf Room, you can show slides during video conferences.

TrueConf Room supports the following image formats to be used for slideshows: .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jif, .jfif, .jfi, .png, .gif (single frame), .webp. It is also possible to import slides in ppt, pptx formats (Windows only), import slides from pdf. Besides, users can import specially formatted slides files saved in their TrueConf client application.

You can upload an image or a slideshow in several ways:

  • Before a conference. Go to the Tools → Slideshow section of the settings sidebar.

  • During a video conference. Click the Slideshow → Slide management → Add slides button in the conference control panel.

After that, you will see a window with the added slides:

  4. Buttons to change the slide displayed: thumbnails and one full-screen slide

You can change the order of uploaded slides by dragging them.

To start the slideshow, click the /docs/room/media/gui/share_presentation_button/en.png button at the bottom of the screen. The slides will expand to full screen:
