Advice from Panopto Inc

 When using a PowerPoint presentation in your webcast, PowerPoint will not show on any device when viewing live because slides only process after a recording is complete. To have your presentation appear in your webcast, record the screen that you are presenting on by ticking the screen capture field in the Panopto Record window. This item is also highlighted further down in this guide. When watching from a mobile device or in the embedded player, only the primary video source will be available to view. It is recommended that the students watch the web stream from their web browser on their smartphones or tablets.
