Chrome Browser Settings for Slidebank
UPDATE 2020 - Slidebank no longer uses Flash so these actions are no longer needed.
For best performance of Slidebank, we recommend using Google Chrome.
As users will know, Slidebank currently uses Flash elements. Google have announced that at the end of 2020, it will no longer support Flash. We have a non-Flash version of Slidebank coming out for general release well ahead of that schedule (more on that here). In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to ensure things continue to run smoothly when using Chrome.
Whilst Flash is still supported, the browser is starting to require a more manual ‘opt-in’ setting to enable Flash. If you find all is not working as expected, follow these steps and Slidebank will work as normal.
Getting the right Chrome settings for Slidebank
Click on the 3 dots in the upper right area of your browser to access the settings...
When the menu opens, click ‘Settings’…
Type ‘Flash’ into the Search bar at the top, then click ‘Site Settings’…
Find ‘Flash’ in the list and click the small triangle to the right…
If the screen says ‘Block sites from running Flash’, click the toggle to the right…
Now make sure ‘Ask First’ is selected in blue to enable Slidebank to run in the browser…
That’s it, you’re done! You might be asked to confirm that Flash is OK the next time you log in, which will put Slidebank on your ‘approved’ list for subsequent visits.

Four Ways to Think About Organizing Your Presentation Content
Slidebank is such a flexible tool, it really puts you in control of how your PowerPoint content is viewed, used and consumed by your colleagues.
Sometimes, however, this flexibility can seem a bit of a minefield when it comes to organizing not just your PowerPoint files, but your users' abilities profiles too.
So here are four simple ways to think about your presentation content, which may make the decision-making process easier....
New Slidebank: latest feature updates
As well as rebranding (you can read about that here), we have recently launched a new version of the Slidebank interface.
This is cleaner, crisper and more responsive, giving your content the opportunity to shine.
We've also enhanced existing features and added new ones, including support for Word and Excel files, and the ability to make changes to existing Virtual presentations.

Managing Account Usage and User Churn
With Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, as within organizations, it's natural to have a certain degree of user churn. The extent of this will largely depend on a) the size of your company b) the fluidity of the industry and frequency with which people move roles and departments, and c) the nature of your account use.
Adding New Users
Adding new users to your Slidebank account is easy. You can either add them as you go, one by one, or we can help you with a batch upload. The latter can certainly be the best option when you're just starting off with your account, especially if you have hundreds of users.
Just follow these instructions...

New season, new start
It was with a slight twinge of shame that we recognized we'd maybe 'let ourselves go' slightly in the public face side of things.
We'd been so busy talking to our customers and working heads down to deliver a premium presentation management service that we managed to overlook the fact that we had cornflakes in our hair and odd socks on our feet. Metaphorically speaking!
