Step 2. Enter the address of the web page or video you want to insert into your presentation, and click the Insert button.
A placeholder slide is inserted into the presentation slide deck.
Note: The information in the notes field of the slide must remain untouched. If this is deleted or altered in any way, the inserted content will not activate.
The place holder slide for inserted web pages won’t display a preview, or image of the content inserted. The blue marks in the corners are all that matter so that the system knows where to display your webpage.
You are now ready to present.
