Whenever you upload a file from your computer to be used in a ShowTime session, the file gets added to your account library automatically. You can even create, customize, and save polls in the library that can be used for future sessions. This saves you the hassle of recreating polls, and presenting content across multiple sessions becomes easier. The library also stores your session recordings, which you can share with your learners in a single click.
 


For remote sessions, materials can be uploaded in the formats PDF, PPT, PPTX and all video formats. For On Demand sessions, ShowTime supports PDF and all video formats that can be added to a session.
 
Access and upload materials from Zoho WorkDrive:
