Purpose

This article is for departments making use of the Powerpoint - Google Drive TV Presentation Setup for their Displays that ECI has configured for them.

Requirements

• Access to the Google Shared Drive for the Displays.
• Powerpoint Installed.

Optional

• Google Drive Software installed.

Powerpoint

It is highly recommended that Powerpoint documents made for the displays have the following:

• Slide Show is setup to be Browsed at a kiosk.
• Setup the Powerpoint to either:
  • Automatically switch slides (Timed).
  • Have navigation buttons to switch to different slides within the presentation.
    • If you use this option, we also recommend that you have a timed slides switching to avoid burning images into the screen.
• Saved as Powerpoint Show (.ppsx) so that the Powerpoint automatically starts as a presentation.
• Saved with the same name as the presentation in the Google Shared Drive. (IE: csppt.ppsx )

Updating the Presentation for the Screens

Depending on how you had the screens setup with ECI, it should be simply copying the Powerpoint Show (.ppsx) into the Google Shared Drive Folder.

Basic Process

First, go to UCSB Connect and log in with the UCSBNetID@ucsb.edu and your UCSBNetID Password.

Click on the Google Apps icon ()in the upper right hand corner of GMail.

Click on Google Drive on the list

This will open a new tab to Google Drive.

From here, look on the left side for the option that says "Shared Drives".

Select your Shared Drive (IE:  CS-Displays)

Double-click on that drive

From there, you can drag your updated Powerpoint into the folder.
