Adding Microsoft PowerPoint to TrilbyTV as a Slideshow
PowerPoint is often the go-to tool for quickly creating Notice or Message Board-style content for digital signage.
Format your file correctly
Open your Powerpoint file
If you have the option to change the size set the slide to 1920 x 1080 (widescreen)
NOTE
- If your slide deck is not in widescreen format you will see some black bars either side of the slides on your TV. We strongly suggest making your original slides widescreen to take advantage of all the screen space.
- If you have used any non-standard fonts then we suggest you embed the fonts in the file, Microsoft have some instructions here.
