“As it is becoming increasingly important to simplify content-sharing within the social media realm, I feel that it is necessary for such options to be presented to users in a two-way communication channel. This feature will also make PowerPoint content visible to millions of users Instantaneously given YouTube's existing popularity thereby broadening the reach of the authors." Says Mr. Umesh Sharma, Product head, authorSTREAM.
The feature will prove beneficial especially to avid users of athorstream, as once content is made available via YouTube, it will become even easier to share the presentation across the Web, as it’s the reigning standard of video-sharing and in today’s socially networked world many other sites have YouTube support for functions like search, embeds and URL retrieval.
