Keep the PowerPoint slides simple (not too decorative). Ensure the file size is less than 65MB. If possible convert the PowerPoint file to PDF and upload the PDF version. [ Note: If your PowerPoint slides get restructured in Collaborate and don’t render properly, please consider converting PowerPoint to PDF]
