As long as you don't have to make any changes to the breeze-ified PowerPoint, you can upload it directly into Sharestream as long as you make the loading htm file named index.


  1. In Breeze download content, download the output file


  2. Extract it into a folder with the same name.


  3. Go into that extracted folder,


  4. and rename the opening htm file


  5. "index", then go back to downloads


  6. and delete the original zip file


  7. Zip the folder


  8. And append the standard naming convention to it. 


  9. This can now be uploaded as an asset into Sharestream

We have lots of Narrated PowerPoints on Breeze, which will eventually be gone once the Breeze server is retired.


  1. download both the PowerPoint source file and the output zip file from breeze.mtroyal.ca
  2. Extract the zip output files







  3. Go to each slide and insert Audio from the PC





  4. Go into the upzipped output folder, data, then choose the middle number corresponding to the slide. 





  5. Then go to each slide, click on the sound file within the slide and the Audio Tools ribbon will appear, PLAYBACK, Hide During Show, and Start Automatically






  6. In Animations, open the Animation Pane, then on each slide move the sound file to the top of all the animations (if there are animations)





  7. In Slide show, Rehearse Timings, to coordinate the sound files with the animations.







  8.  Make sure you have Saved in pptx (not just ppt) format! When you're done File, export, Create a video







  9.  Create video button. This make an mp4 file that can be shared in your Google drive, published to YouTube or uploaded in the upcoming Sharestream that integrates in Blackboard.
