 +
==== Can I upload Microsoft Office documents to BigBlueButton? ====
 +
Yes. BigBlueButton uses LibreOffice 4.3 for converting Microsoft Office documents into PDF for display in BigBlueButton.
 +
If possible, for best results, save your Word or PowerPoint document as PDF. If you are using Office 2007, we recommend using LibreOffice free download to save any document to PDF.
 +
 
 +
==== Will my animations and videos in Slide presentations (pptx/odp) convert when uploaded? ====
 +
No
 +
 
 +
Reason is: When you upload your documents, BigBlueButton will convert it to PDF (using LibreOffice) and then finally to scalable vector graphics (SVG) for display within the client.
 +
 
 +
The conversion to PDF will remove any animations (visual or audio), links, and embedded content. At the end of the conversion, you’ll see the final slide within BigBlueButton.

==== Clear permissions in Firefox and prompt again ====
 +
If there are issues sharing the screen, allowing audio/video in Firefox, then the permissions can be cleared from the address bar without logging out and allow the browser to again access them. Permissions for any of these can be cleared by clicking on '''X''' icon and Firefox can be asked to request the permission again by clicking on audio, webcam or screen sharing buttons.

 +
==== Avoid common issues with web browser ====
 +
# Check if microphone is enabled at the system level.
 +
# Check if you are running latest version FireFox and Chrome. Version number can be checked from the menu Help->About
 +
# Do one operation at a time and wait until it is completed. For example, if you are sharing webcam - wait until webcam is shown in the screen before sharing the screen.
 +
# On the mobile, enable permission from the app settings for the Chrome browser. Please do the same if FireFox is installed.
