After upload, the file will take some time to process.
Please allow ample time to upload and play through the deck to ensure all animations play as expected. Some animations may not supported.

💡 Add an extra touch of engagement by showing an overlay on top of your slides. Tickers, CTAs, etc. can boost audience clarity and takeaways.
