Draft — this page is draft documentation for BigBlueButton 4.0. The details described here may change before release.
In 3.0, the things you could share were spread through the Actions (+) menu alongside tools that had nothing to do with the presentation. BigBlueButton 4.0 gathers all of them into the media area — the central part of the screen, and the one place you go to put something in front of the class.

​
What you can share

​
Upload and switch slides

1

Upload

Drag and drop your files onto the media area. Each one appears as a thumbnail, so you can see what you have loaded rather than reading a list of file names.
2

Choose

Select Slides, then select the thumbnail you want.
3

Share

Select Share. The slides appear in the media area for everyone.
4

Close the dialog

Select anywhere outside the dialog and it closes.
Switching between uploaded presentations later uses the same three steps — select Slides, pick the thumbnail, select Share.
The whiteboard and presentation controls themselves are unchanged from 3.0. What moved is how you choose what to put in the media area.
