Create

Creating Brainshark presentations is quick and simple to do. Once you’ve prepared your content – PowerPoints, documents, photos or video clips – simply log in to your Brainshark account over the web, upload the content and then optionally add audio by phone, microphone or MP3 upload. The patented system guides you through a step-by-step process, allowing you to instantly transform your content into voice-enriched video presentations.

Share

Your content is only valuable, of course, if you share it! Presentations can be shared as links in an email, posted to social media sites or embedded in blogs or websites. They can also be delivered securely via Brainshark login or from your own portal or learning management system (LMS). Because your presentations are hosted by Brainshark, they can then be accessed by your audiences anytime, on-demand from desktop or mobile devices.

Track

Once your presentations are viewed, you can track the viewing details, including who viewed, what they viewed, when they viewed and even where they viewed. You can receive email alerts with the viewing data or log in to your Brainshark account to access online dashboards and reports. Brainshark’s powerful tracking capabilities enable you to measure the effectiveness of your communications and prioritize follow-up activity with viewers.

Enrich

With Brainshark, you can update and enrich your presentations at any time – extending the value and benefits of each communication.

You can easily add to an existing presentation by uploading additional PowerPoints, documents, video clips or photos within the same presentation or by including live web pages right into a presentation. You can also enrich presentations by attaching files/documents that viewers can download, inserting interactive questions (polls, surveys or test questions), adding background music, and more.

Manage

As a Brainshark enterprise customer, you can collaborate with others on content production by copying or merging content between presentations, inviting “guests” to add their voice or slides to your presentation, or personalizing presentations by adding or substituting your own custom opening or closing slides.

Brainshark enterprise features also provide numerous security options so you can ensure your content is accessed only by your intended audience. Features like password-protection, login access requirements, IP range restrictions, expiration dates and SSL encryption are all available.

Mobile

With Brainshark, you can create and share your video presentations knowing that your audiences can not only view your presentations on a desktop or laptop computer, but also on mobile devices. With more and more people accessing web-based information from their smartphones and tablet computers, you want to ensure your message is received whenever and wherever it is most convenient. Brainshark Mobile – included with all Brainshark solutions – provides this flexibility.
