- The presentation should be saved with the speaker’s name (and not with a generic name as WLF6 or Florence 2023)
- The files of any video or image must be saved in the same folder as the PowerPoint presentation and must be copied into the folder before their insertion in the presentation (NOTE 1)
- Videos should be saved as: .mp4 (codec h264 – MPEG-4 AVC) or .wmv extension and must not start with double click on the image but automatically when the slide opens (NOTE 2) Preferred Audio is m4a format (AAC)
