You can easily show a high-resolution presentation without sharing your screen. Change slides faster and avoid common screen share issues.
PDF live share allows you to share a PDF of a presentation or document directly in Engageli instead of sharing your screen. This allows you to share presentations with better visual quality for learners with minimal lag time.
