Followed Presenter Feeds Now Improved

Updates from followed users on authorSTREAM now reflect in your console when you are signed in. The improved interface allows you to see what your contacts have being doing lately, instead of clicking each contact from the followed list separately, to see each one’s latest activity, like it was in the past.

Every followed presenter shows in your dashboard with a little [+] icon to the left. If you click on the icon, the feed opens up to reveal latest activity. You can see thumbnails of uploaded presentations right in your own console.

However, you can still click on the link, "Manage/See All" and be able to access the list of all your contacts as before.

With this new update, you will receive feeds from the contacts you are following with enhanced usability.

Multiple PPT Presentation Uploads on authorSTREAM

Now it is possible to upload several PowerPoint presentations in one go on authorSTREAM.com, thanks to the new Multiple uploads option.

If you click on the option "upload presentation", you will be redirected to our multiple upload panel, where you can upload up to 10 PPT files at the same time, using a maximum of 1 GB (aggregate) capacity. Additionally, the names of the files will be suggested as titles of the uploaded PPTS automatically. You can change the title if you wish as well, just after the uploading process. Besides, if you only want to upload one PPT, still you can use the single presentation upload option, by selecting that option on the right upper side of the page.

And there is even more; the option to upload any existing presentation on the Web, only by providing the URL, is also available by clicking on the right upper panel, on the option "Multiple presentations from the Web".

These latest upload options will help you save time and have been provided to make uploading multiple PowerPoint presentations to authorSTREAM a breeze.
