Getting Started with Zoho ShowTime.

Hello! Welcome to Zoho ShowTime. We hope you're enjoying the audio, video and screen share features we recently released. Here's how you can get the most from ShowTime. 

Create a profile
After you sign up, take a tour to get a brief intro about ShowTime's features. To get started, create a profile so your attendees can find you, learn more about you, and register for your presentations. 

All your published presentations will appear on your ShowTime profile. Your attendees can view, download, and provide feedback on the presentation. ShowTime's profile page gives you an online resume which is very similar to your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles. 

Customize a session
Choose what kind of a session you would like to create - Face-to-Face or a Remote session. Face-to-face sessions are used when you and your attendees are in the same room. Remote sessions are useful when you have attendees spread across multiple locations.

Create and schedule a session and try our audiovideoscreen share and in-app chat features with your remote attendees. To make a session interactive, you can run polls and request shy attendees to pose questions using their mobile devices or laptops. To engage attendees, request them to 'like' a slide when they feel the content was informative and useful.

Make custom attend URLs
To add a personal touch, customize the attend URL while you schedule a session. You can customize it on the Session Details section and share it with your attendees so they can register and join your session. Your attendees can simply connect through https://attend.zoho.com/MYKEY.

People clapped to show their appreciation and booed to show their disapproval since the Roman times. Even today, in many senates and parliaments 'yays' and 'nays' are registered verbally.

The header stays at the top of the page however the footer does not. It appears the footer actually serves no purpose as it seems to rise up to underneath the header (see image). Is there a way to lock the footer to the bottom of the page? Otherwise what is the point of it? Image demonstrating what I mean. https://ibb.co/cJY1xZ4

This adds parens to the system path. Many command-line applications do not allow for the use of parenthesis, so if you want to use a file saved on WorkDrive in a command line you cannot. Most major document syncing platforms do not allow parenthesis for this reason.
