To effectively deliver a PowerPoint presentation or screen recording on the Web, the traditional means of converting individual slides to GIF and JPG image files is not effective anymore.

It is cumbersome, it takes time, it forces you into a fixed screen resolution, it pushes accepting compromises in image quality when you have presentations containing both simple diagrams and photographs, it creates large files that are slow to download, and it requires the presenter to upload all of this converted stuff to an FTP server.

Not exactly what a non-technical person can do best.

On top of this, most presentations create nowdays are boring enough, and unless you add some effective audio narration and some useful links or complementary notes, not many readers are going to be able to make sense of your bullets.

So what are you to do?

Here some good guidance.
