During testing we were unable to use the Android Chrome browser, however, the built-in Android browser played the document perfectly once it was switched to the Desktop Version. You can ask your audience to use the Desktop Version of a mobile browser as a workaround.

While we did not face any such issue for PowerPoint presentations, during testing of the service, we found mobile browsers to be incompatible for viewing Word documents broadcast via the Office Presentation Service. When using the Office Presentation Service for a Word document, your participants might have trouble viewing the document via mobile browsers. Workaround for Mobile Browser Compatibility Limitation Your audience can print and download the document (if enabled), as well as use the immersive reader to listen to the document text. The below image shows a desktop browser used for viewing the Live broadcast of the Word document.


During the presentation you can share meeting notes using OneNote, send invitations using the invite option, pause the presentation to edit it and end the presentation once the session is complete via the End Online Presentation option.Įnable Your Audience to View the Broadcast from an Internet Browser Once you start broadcasting your presentation online your audience will be able to follow your presentation via the shared link. Once you’re ready to present, click Start Presentation. Alternatively, you can send the link via instant message or email, so that participants can click and join the session instead of typing a long link. Since the generated URL is quite lengthy, you might want to create a short version of it using a URL shortener like TinyURL. You can send this link to participants via email, IM, place it on your website or show it in the hall for participants to join the Live session. As mentioned earlier, for the latter, you will have to enable download for the file before going online. This link can be used by anyone to view and download your document. You will be provided with a link to share with your audience. Share Broadcast Link & Start Presentation
