Introducing LiveCast in Zoho Show

Introducing LiveCast in Zoho Show



As the world goes digital, the human touch in how we do things often fades away. In such a scenario, personal connections can make all the difference—whether you're pitching your next big idea, conducting team training, or delivering a client presentation.

One way to build these connections is by letting your audience see you while you present. To make this possible, we’re excited to introduce LiveCast in Zoho Show!

This feature enables you to display your live video in slides, ensuring your audience will be able to view your presence as well as your content.

To get this done, you first need to insert a camera shape into your slide.

How to insert a camera shape into your slide

Find this option under Media in the Insert pane at the top of your screen.

You'll also be able to customize the shape and background in this window before adding it to your slides. Click Insert to insert the camera shape into your slide.


You can modify these options later by clicking on the camera shape. This will open the Media tab under formatting options by default, where you can change the frame shape and background image.


When you start your slideshow, your video will be automatically displayed to the audience once you present the slide. This will be useful especially during the intro,

Q&A sessions, conclusions, and other slides with complex information.

Transform your presentations into interactive experiences using LiveCast. From now on, your audience won't just be looking at slides—they’ll see you, engage with your message, and connect on a personal level. Try it out and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

      • Three smart ways to share your presentation with Zoho Show.

        "What is the best way to share a presentation?", a lingering question that is asked after every live session or a meeting. Sharing presentations can be time consuming. It can be done, either by attaching the file to an email or by saving it in a pen drive. But what happens when your file size is large or your team is spread across the globe? Zoho Show lets you share your presentations both internally and externally without worrying about the file size. You can share your slides as a link and decide

      • Convey Your Ideas and Convince Your Audience with Zoho Show

        Visual presentations are highly impactful and it is a no-brainer that your audience gets attracted to them. The use of images and videos help you reach your objectives by emphasizing your ideas more effectively.  According to the psychologist Jerome Bruner of New York University, "people only remember 10% of what they hear and 20% of what they read, but about 80% of what they see and do." For example, if the above data on its own, was presented visually, there is an 80% chance that the information
