- Best Practice for PowerPoint Files in Blackboard Collaborate

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]
