![]() ![]() Slightly off topic but I initially clicked on the following link and got a 404 error. So, you can just go through it all and see if it works for you. However, the MessagePoint option did sound pretty good when I read that jazz. It would be "I've read some jazz and think I know things" knowledge. I hate to just throw up links without information, but I've never converted PowerPoint to a screensaver so it wouldn't be "I've used these and know what I'm talking about" user based experience knowledge. The last thing you would want is some internal information to leak outside if your company because it was in plain sight. You have to be mindful of what you present on these screens, especially if they can be viewed (directly or indirectly) by the public. One final comment/warning about sending content to every PC in the company. But the licensing costs may outweigh the value you'll get: There are also commercial applications that will do what you want too. I have not use this part of xibo, but I'm aware it exists. I am aware that you can send xibo managed content to a screen saver. We've taken the ppt moves that were created above and published them with xibo for digital signage projects. If you did want to move into the digital signage area, xibo is a good choice if you have a little experience with linux to set it up. But I know converting a ppt to movie does work well. I have no personally done this so I can't give you exact steps. From there I assume you can have the computer play the video when the screen saver is on. There is no need for external applications. If you want motion, transitions, sounds then you can save PPT files as movie files, right in PPT 2010+. You just need to copy the files to a defined location on the target computers and then use a GPO to force the specific screen saver. You will not get the transitions, sounds, or motion, but it will work today without a lot of hassle. You can take PPT 2010+ and export (save) the presentation to jpeg files that CAN be turned into a photo slide show. You still have the issue of having the windows computer call ppt when its time for the screen saver. I'm coming at this from a digital signage perspective.įirst licensing, if you go the PPT route all computers will need power point or power point viewer installed.
