Do I need permission to embed the slides on any blog?
If you are a Blog Admin, you can go ahead and embed slides anywhere you like.
I saw a great slideshow on authorSTREAM and I want to download the presentation. Can I do that?
Yes, you can do so if the user who uploaded the presentation has given permission for file download. You can find this out by checking the download icon right next to the presentation.
I have created a different (customized) image that I want to be used as the thumbnail for my presentation instead of its first slide. Is this possible?
This feature will be made available to you in our next versions.
Would the content on authorSTREAM show up in search engines queries?
The content will show up in search engines based on the title and tags mentioned during upload. However the content or presentation that you have marked as private will not be shown in the search queries.
Can I comment on a particular slide of a slideshow?
You can comment on almost anything of the content.
Can I get the url for a particular slide of a slideshow?
Not in the current version, but we may decide to put this feature in our future releases
What are Presentation transcripts?
Transcripts are the text from your presentation. These are the slide notes that you add for each slide while creating the PowerPoint and they are shown slide wise at the bottom of the slide view page.
I see a Bookmark field besides the presentation player? What’s that?
It’s a social bookmarking link that helps you store, classify, and share the links of presentation on authorSTREAM that you find useful.

You can select the social bookmark that you would prefer using.
