Inserting and working with files
When you add files to your page (such as images, videos, PDFs, or Word documents), they’re inserted as dynamic objects. You can move, resize, or rotate them and interact with them in a variety of other ways. Different types of object provide different options for manipulating them.
You can insert the following types of file into the workspace:
Microsoft Office files (PowerPoint, Word, Excel)
PDFs
images
.mp4 videos
Notes
Some file types, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Excel files, require that the program for that file be installed on the meeting room’s computer.
All files (except video files, images, browser pages) are inserted as a PDF in the workspace page. PDF files are compatible with all devices, so when you send the files as part of a meeting recap, the recipients can open them.
Browsers you start will open in incognito mode—the browser won’t save your browsing history, cookies and site data, or information entered in forms.
