Upload Recorded Presentations
After recording your presentations you can upload them so that they can be shared online. It is worth mentioning here that only files from AVI and WMV formats are acceptable. You can also upload pre-recorded presentations from these supported formats,which may have been created using other of tools.
Share Uploaded Presentations
You can share uploaded presentations via embed code, sharing URL or the given social media buttons. PresentationTube allows both public and private presentations. You can also search through various publicly shared presentations to get ideas for your own video presentations, share public presentations with others, like or dislike public presentations and leave comments.
The Verdict
PresentationTube is no doubt a very useful service, however the desktop application is quite buggy and can be hard to use because of some functionality hiccups. This is why you might be better off using this service for uploading and sharing presentations rather than using the desktop application for video presentation recording.
