Here it is, Empressr Lesson Series #1. Media: Uploads, Importing, and Creation!
The team here at Empressr is always working to make sure your experience with the Empressr platform is the BEST possible. Here is the first of a series of story boards designed to help you use some of our most exciting key features. Enjoy!
Like I promised, new features are planned to roll out every other week.
What’s new this week.
yes you can now search and drag and drop YouTube videos from within Empressr, it works great and is really easy. A couple of items you should be aware of is that YouTube videos have to auto-play (at lest for now) and due to api restrictions you are only allowed one video per slide in empressr. There is no limitation on how many videos you use, so long as it’s one per slide.
To access the video panel click the Import control on the bottom navigation bar 
That opens the panel that let’s you search for images on flickr, yahoo and google, and now videos on youtube.

Another feature is the ability to import you notes that you may of made in you powerpoint document, the notes will import in both the jpeg only and the editable versions that we offer. to edit or add your notes click the gear on the lower right hand corner of the slide in the sorter,

that opens the option panel, there are 3 areas in this panel, properties, info and Notes

To see your notes while presenting, you have to launch the notes and twitter dashboard by clicking this icon in the Empressr viewer window

That icon launches the Dashboard that you can then drag to your second monitor while presenting
