Presentations can be shared in many ways -- you're not just limited to presenting face-to-face.
Most web-based presentation tools allow you to embed your presentation on a website. This means that your presentation slides will be viewable on the webpage and visitors can view it at their own pace or you can set it to auto advance.
Embedding your presentation involves pasting some code (HTML) into a webpage. This is often a simple process but requires a couple of extra steps. However, this allows you to include your presentation on a website so that your viewers don't need to go to a new page or site. Embed code will look something like this:
<iframe src="https://slides.com/millrt138/crash/embed" width="576" height="420" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
A share link or URL is a simple web address that is basically its own webpage where your viewers will see your presentation and nothing else. This option is nice because it mimics what your presentation would like on a big screen and it removes all other distractions. A share link should look something like this:
https://www.canva.com/design/DAD6wQGpa4o/view?utm_content=DAD6wQGpa4o&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink
To see how you can get embed code or share URLs, see the instructions below.
From the File menu, select Publish to the web.
The options to publish include creating a link where people can view a full screen version of the presentation or an embed widget so that the presentation can be placed on a webpage. you can auto advance the slides, set it to start when it loads on the page, to restart after it cycles through, and who can view it.
Important: be sure to set the sharing settings on your presentation so that your viewers will be allowed to see it. If it is set to private, they will only see an error message.
When you are editing your presentation, click on the share icon in the left-hand menu:
You can choose to select a link (where viewers can see the full screen version):
Or to get the embed code to insert the presentation in a webpage:
Because Slides.com is interactive, there is no option to auto advance slides.
When you are editing the presentation, click on the more icon in the upper menu:
Then select the Share Link option
You can share an editable version to your collaborators or a view only link where people can view the full screen version.
Select the Embed option
to copy the embed code to insert the presentation on a webpage.
Another interesting option in Canva is to save your project as a website, which creates a unique way for your viewers to access the information on your slides.
