designed to help you get the most out of Glisser.

could help your company, please click here for more information.
For the background image, the format can be either PNG or JPEG. A resolution of 1920×1080 or above works best with a file size limit of 2MB. The background image appears on any of the Glisser generated slides, so on the polls and Q+A wall.
For the logo, we’d recommend no more than 800px x 800px, and to aim for less than 100kb (file size limit is also 2MB). Logos should also have a transparent background.
For additional information please see our guide on selecting a background image.
If you have permitted your audience to download the slides after the presentation is complete, the speaker must push the presentation to the final slide to prompt the option for attendees to download slides and the notes they took during the presentation.
To make sure your audience has the ability to download the presentation, turn on the Download Content toggle on in your Content Settings.
If your speaker/moderator is being asked to log into your Glisser account, this is due to one of these reasons:
If you are having trouble accessing a presentation it could be for one of a number of reasons:
When using Glisser, event organizers and presenters have the option to turn moderation on. This means that they have to accept or approve your question before it is displayed on delegates’ devices and the Q&A wall on the main screen. If your questions are not being displayed, it is likely that your questions have not been accepted by a moderator yet.
Moderation ensures questions remain relevant, grammatically correct, and appropriate. Moderators can approve, deny or edit as they are submitted. Moderators can also reply directly in the Q&A tab.
More information about moderating questions can be found here.
Glisser uses a web-based application that runs in the audience’s browser window. Glisser can therefore operate with all audience devices capable of accessing the internet.
This includes:
Please note that some internal company networks may have restrictions and or firewalls for specific websites and Livestream, so it’s safe to check with your network provider and event organizer if you are experiencing any issues signing up for your event.
Audience members will see the slides and polls shared from your Glisser account, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you also need to show your Glisser presentation on the main screen.
Some examples of when you might want to consider mirroring are:
To mirror your presentation you will need one laptop to present from (to connect to the main screen), and another laptop signed into your Glisser presentation, ideally driven by an event assistant or an AV technician.
The second laptop operates Glisser in Presenter mode, mirroring the progress of the slides on the main screen. This ensures the audience devices are provided with the same slide as the presenter.
If you wish to show audience interaction (polls, Q&A feed, etc.) on the main screen, a switcher is required from the presenter’s laptop to the Glisser laptop, and back again.
You will need a computer or laptop with preferably a hardwire internet connection to run Glisser. Glisser works best on a Chrome browser, which you can download here. Your attendees, however, will be able to access the presentation through whatever browser they have available on their handheld device or laptop (excluding Internet Explorer).
It’s a good idea to mention Glisser in any pre-event communication you have with your delegates to give people a heads-up. On the day, make sure your chair or moderator for the day includes a few words introducing Glisser to the room during the Welcome speech at the start of the day.
Below is our recommended template text, but again we’d recommend tailoring this to your own event.
We’ll be using Glisser today – they’re an event technology company helping to make presentations more interactive and useful for us all.
So they work by sharing slides direct to your phones or devices so you can download today’s presentations, and we’ll also be using Glisser to let you text in questions, and vote in polls throughout the event.
There’s no need to download anything.
Just put this URL: glsr.live/TBC Into your internet browser on your device or phone (chrome or safari are fine). No need for www. in front, and it’s not case sensitive. All you need is to be on our wifi system [read out login details], or just use your 4G data.
To vote in polls, select your answer and press send.
To ask a question, just type your question into the text box at the bottom of your screen and press send.
Glisser will also let you send the slides to your email address after the presentation if you’ve logged in at the start, so there’s no need to take any photos of slides you like the look of. We hope you enjoy using it!
The amount of bandwidth you will need will depend on how many attendees you will be having the day of your event and the bandwidth capabilities of the venue you are utilizing.
We typically recommend 10mbps for 100 attendees and that the Glisser laptops are hardwired.
To activate a session, click on Live Control Panel. You must then click on GO LIVE. This will make your session live and available for delegates to join.
To release all session content click on Publish (Present To The End). This is only available for sessions within an event.
To end a session, click on END SESSION. This will close your session blocking access to any content or live streams.
You can control your presentation and engagement features by using Glisser hotkeys. You can access a list of these keys by pressing the H key on your laptop to pull up the keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys during your presentation, or you can see the keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys here.
When you log into Glisser as an audience member, your email address or device ID number is cached (saved) on the device you’re using to access your presentation.
This is to save you time, as it means you don’t have to re-enter your email address each time you access a presentation or event using Glisser. It’ll also mean Glisser will load much more quickly, using far less data the next time you log into a presentation.
However, it will also mean that if you need to login on the same device using a different email address, or view any changes to the presentation you’re attending, you’ll need to clear your cache. Here’s how:
Chrome (mobile)
Safari (mobile)
Chrome (laptop)
Safari (laptop)
Firefox (laptop)
Whether or not you can access or download the slides (and your notes) after a presentation has finished is determined by the presentation permissions set by the presenter. If the presenter is happy for their slides to be downloaded (along with your personal notes), you will be able to download them from the DOWNLOAD tab.
Whilst the presentation is live you can activate the Send me the presentation toggle and you will be sent an email with the slides and your notes once the presenter ends the presentation.
Once the presentation is over this will become a button and you will be sent the slides and your notes instantly.
Information on turning on downloads for slides and notes can be found here.
To moderate the attendee’s questions, simply select your session and then click the ‘Live Control’ button. Once the session is live you may select ‘moderation’ to see all of the pending, approved and rejected questions.
Yes, Glisser can be used with a clicker.
To use a clicker when presenting with Glisser, simply ensure the clicker is connected to the presenting laptop or device.
Yes, you are able to view a Glisser LIVE page from any mobile device that has access to a modern browser. Glisser LIVE can be used with all audience devices capable of accessing YouTube or LiveStream.
Each Glisser LIVE page (glisser.live/yourcode) supports a single stream and a single Glisser code (glsr.it/yourcode), be it a presentation code or an event code. So whilst Glisser LIVE can used with the Glisser event structure, it can only be with a single stream.
What this essentially means is that Glisser LIVE supports single-room events perfectly. Where there is more than one room, Glisser LIVE can only support one stream at a time – although this doesn’t necessarily mean that all streamed presentations need to be from the same room.
Unfortunately Switcher Studio does not allow you to embed a YouTube video/stream on an external website (it turns the setting off in your YouTube settings). Just as you would embed a stream onto your own website, Glisser LIVE works by embedding your YouTube stream onto your Glisser LIVE page, so unfortunately until Switcher Studio resolve this issue on their platform then we will not be able to host streams from Switcher Studio.
If you are using Stream in your presentation, you can configure the audience user experience to only render the stream player (for embed purposes or other).
In order to do so, an argument can be passed in the audience url:
glsr.live/myPresentation?streamOnly=1
We recommend getting in touch with us at least a month before the date of your event. This provides adequate time for the event to be built, and for us to confirm any technical requirements, especially for particularly large events with a high amount of attendees.
Your Glisser presentation can be uploaded as a PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) or PDF (.pdf) file.
Wherever possible, we recommend that you set your Powerpoint or PDF to display with a ratio of 16:9 rather than 4:3 ratio. Keep in mind that when you upload PowerPoints and PDFs into a Glisser presentation, your presentation will lose any animations or gifs that were previously in your presentation.
If you do not use any of the above then you can also upload ODP, JPG, PNG and GIF.
When uploading JPG’s or PNG’s, please ensure the file is stored with a lowercase .jpg or .png as we do not support uppercase .JPG or .PNG.
Once your account has been upgraded you will need to log out of Glisser, then log back in again to access the additional features.
Following a product roadmap, we are constantly updating and improving the Glisser platform. We’d love to know what you think and what you’d like to see in the platform next. Popular feature requests will be slotted into our product roadmap.
If there’s anything you’d love to see in Glisser, please speak to your client experience representative or email us on enquiries@glisser.com and we’ll pass it onto our development team.
Glisser can be used with Prezi in one of two ways:
The first is to save your Prezi presentation as a flat-file (.PPTX or .PDF), then upload it to Glisser. Then, with the help of an assistant, mirror your presentation whilst presenting your fully animated Prezi presentation from the Prezi website. You’ll need to switch to the laptop running Glisser if you want to show Q&A or polls on the main screen.
Alternatively, create polls or audience Q&A sessions in Glisser (just using one PowerPoint slide as a holding slide to create the session). Then, within your Prezi, create a hyperlink to the relevant Glisser presenter URL. That way, Prezi will open up Glisser for a poll or Q&A session at the correct point in your presentation.
Features can be turned on and off to suit your requirements to create a truly custom interactive presentation. The Glisser platform will adapt to create the best audience user experience based on what you’ve selected.
You don’t need to download any software to use Glisser as it’s a web-based application. Glisser runs on any web browser, simply visit https://present.glisser.com and sign up or sign in.
Although Glisser will work on any modern web browser with a good internet connection, for the most reliable experience we recommend using Google Chrome.
