How to add a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) to SmartFeed?

SmartWinnr allows you to include PowerPoint presentations in your SmartFeeds, enabling you to share rich, structured content such as product knowledge, training material, or feature highlights with your users.

Steps to Add a PowerPoint Presentation

  • Step 1: Navigate to SmartFeeds

  • Log in to the SmartWinnr Admin Portal.
  • Go to EDITOR > LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE > SmartFeeds > View All SmartFeeds.
  • Click Add New SmartFeed to create a new SmartFeed.

  • Add a SmartFeed Title

    Provide a clear title for the SmartFeed. This title will be visible to all recipients and should summarize the presentation content.

Step 2: Choose the Content Type

  • On the Create SmartFeed screen, select Presentation as the content type.
  • This option allows you to upload PowerPoint files (.ppt  or .pptx ).

If you don't see the 'Presentation' option in your view, please write to support@smartwinnr.com for the privilege to add presentations to your SmartFeed.

  • Once selected, the Presentation upload screen will appear.

Uploading a ZIP file is recommended as it ensures that the slide order remains exactly the same as in the original PowerPoint.

To upload using ZIP format:

  1. Convert each slide of the PowerPoint presentation into image files (.jpeg , .jpg , or .png ).
  2. Save all the slide images into a single folder.
  3. Compress (zip) the folder.
  4. Select the ZIP radio button in the upload section.
  5. Upload the ZIP file to SmartWinnr.
How to Convert a PowerPoint to JPEG Images
  1. Open the PowerPoint presentation.
  2. Go to File > Export.
  3. Choose Export presentation images.
  4. Select JPEG as the file format.
  5. Save the images to a folder on your system after that you can zip that folder

After uploading the ZIP file, select the appropriate SmartFeed category and click Save New SmartFeed to proceed.

Important:

Once a  ZIP file is uploaded, SmartWinnr automatically converts it back into Presentation Mode, allowing recipients to view the SmartFeed as a slide-based presentation.

Step 3: Assign the SmartFeed to Users

After uploading the ZIP file, click Save SmartFeed.

You will be redirected to the Send SmartFeed page.

On this page, you can:

  • View the list of available participants
  • Select users based on your requirement

Once you have selected the required users, click Send SmartFeed to successfully assign the SmartFeed to the selected participants.

Configure SmartFeed Settings

  1. Set the Send Date (Send Now or Schedule Later).
  2. Set the Expiry Date (Never expire or choose a specific date).
Following is how a SmartFeed with the presentation will appear in the SmartWinnr app.

If we go into this SmartFeed with the presentation, it will look as shown below.

You can click on the right arrow and left arrow to move around various slides in the presentation.
