Improved slideshow features include screen area setup, laser pointer, animations, presenter’s identity, etc. Remote PowerPoint (cont’d) RPPT allows distributed presentations in a true group communication mode: Masters from different sites may connect to a RPPT server in sequence, to allow clients to watch presentations from different speakers without changing settings. Clients may switch among different servers to view different presentations being given at the same time.
