PowerPoint Options • HTML: Great results for in the conference room and for replaying a recording live, but won’t work for FireFox for OnDemand recordings • JPG: Usually best option if planned to make recording available on the Net due to FireFox compatability. Also should be used if planning to use in WhiteBoard • GIF: Same as JPG, but better option if presentation contains ONLY text and clipart (no photo images)
