authorSTREAM Desktop, a new add-on "ribbon" for PowerPoint can search and fetch videos and images from the Web, from right inside PowerPoint, and insert them in slides with a few clicks. This will make it very easy for PowerPoint authors to make presentations, rich with multimedia, very quickly.

Raleigh, USA, July 14, 2009 - authorSTREAM, the PowerPoint community slide-sharing platform, launches today its authorSTREAM Desktop software, which installs in Microsoft PowerPoint as an add-in "ribbon" and helps presentation authors to quickly create rich multimedia presentations. authorSTREAM Desktop fetches images from Microsoft Bing and videos from Google's YouTube right within PowerPoint. Authors can simply search from within PowerPoint and quickly add images or videos from search results. Images and YouTube videos can also be added by using Web address paths if authors already know what they want to add, without using the search feature. All these actions can be accomplished from within PowerPoint without the need of a browser.
