System Requirements

The Standard Viewer is the recommended Delegate viewer, which uses the original PowerPoint presentation to present all slide builds, animations and transitions.

The Basic Viewer displays 'slides' from the original PowerPoint presentation without builds and animations. This viewer should only be used by Delegates not able to use the Standard Viewer.
