Latest news about Zoho Show


2018. Zoho Show adds contextual interface and broadcasts



Zoho has introduced the all-new version of Zoho Show featuring a contextual interface designed to prioritize users' ideas and provide a seamless formatting experience that adapts to their actions. The aim is to eliminate the need for users to search for the right tools, ensuring that their creative vision takes center stage. Zoho Show offers a comprehensive set of tools to bring ideas to life in alignment with users' imaginations. It includes features such as custom text boxes, silhouettes, image filters, pre-defined layouts for charts and tables, a wide range of animation options for each slide element, and more. The robust commenting system within Show enables seamless collaboration, brainstorming, and suggestions for enhancing slide elements. Users can add rich text comments to emphasize key points or attach images when words fall short. Additionally, Show allows users to broadcast slides to remote audiences or utilize the Presenter View for in-person sessions, enabling them to deliver impactful presentations from anywhere.




2015. Zoho Show viewer is available for Android and iOS Devices



Zoho has introduced a mobile slideshow viewer for its presentation app Zoho Show on Android and iOS devices. As a user of Zoho Show, you now have the flexibility to carry your presentations on any device of your choice, including smartphones, tablets, or laptops. The Sideshow Viewer enables you to utilize a slide pen to mark or highlight content on the relevant slide. The highlighted content is instantly reflected on the screen visible to your audience, eliminating the need for pocket lasers that presenters often struggle with when emphasizing key points. Furthermore, you can darken slides to direct your audience's attention solely towards your narrative during the presentation. By blackening the slide, the audience's focus shifts entirely to you and your speech, rather than the content or visuals displayed on the slide. This feature is particularly useful when you want to regain the audience's attention or address their questions directly.


2015. Zoho Show allows to integrate Twitter feeds to online presentations



By incorporating Twitter into the online presentations tool Zoho Show, an innovative feature has been introduced to bridge the gap between the presenter and the audience. This new functionality allows users to seamlessly insert and broadcast Tweets directly into their slides, enhancing audience engagement and active participation. Regardless of the geographical location of the audience, they can remain at the core of the discussion. Integrating Twitter feeds into presentations creates an open, dynamic, and interactive atmosphere. However, ensuring control and moderation is essential for maintaining the desired level of dynamism. Tweets can vary in tone, ranging from positive to negative, respectful to insulting, and relevant to the topic or not. Hence, Zoho Show provides presenters with the flexibility to moderate and filter these Tweets as needed.


2011. Online presentations go HTML5: SlideShare and Zoho Show


It seems that the days of Flash as a platform for the Rich web interfaces are really coming to an end. Online presentation services, for which the Rich-interface is most important, are ditching Flash in favour of HTML5. Last year, the market leader, SlideRocket released the HTML5-viewer and today the most popular presentation sharing service SlideShare has done the same. Moreover, SlideShare not just added the HTML5-view option but completely removed the Flash-option. Developers say the new HTML5-viewer is 30% faster and displays presentation on tablets (like iPad) and smartphones. In addition, you can now select and copy text from a presentation with the help of the mouse. ***


2008. Zoho Show 2.0 Upgrades: Flickr, Picasa Integration

Introduced amidst a wave of Zoho Suite releases last year, Zoho Show 2.0 impressed many with its ability to compete with Google Presentations. Today, Zoho Show receives another significant upgrade, introducing key features such as the option to export presentations to PPT, PPS, PDF, and ODP formats. This expands its compatibility beyond HTML support and enhances integration with other presentation creation platforms. Additionally, users can now conveniently copy and paste Zoho Show presentations within the tool itself, streamlining the process of reusing existing content for new presentations. An exciting addition for users of web-based document creation tools is the integration of Picasa and Flickr photos, allowing easy insertion of public images from these services into Zoho Show presentations. Streamlining this process is essential, as visuals play a crucial role in documents. Zoho Show's latest release also extends support to 11 new languages, reflecting the company's global efforts for its presentation creation tool. Chinese, Danish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Swedish are among the newly supported languages. Other minor updates include the introduction of groups as a sharing option, enhanced embed settings to customize the appearance of embedded presentations, and improvements in remote presentation capabilities for effective communication during web demos. These advancements in Zoho Show follow recent upgrades to Zoho Sheet and Zoho Writer, which also focused on enhanced sharing options and import/export functionalities. As Zoho establishes itself as a valuable web-based document creation tool, it must continue pushing boundaries to stay competitive and establish web-based applications as standards in comparison to their offline counterparts.


2007. Zoho Show 2.0 is not ready for the real world

Zoho is set to release an update for its presentation app, Zoho Show, in the coming days, which has come a long way since its basic beginnings. The new version, Zoho Show 2.0, offers a more professional and useful experience with an improved interface and a good selection of templates and shapes for creating visually appealing presentations. Collaboration is made easier with the option to open a chat window while working on a presentation. Zoho Show allows for full-screen viewing, embedding shows on websites, and remote control of slide advancement through shared links. However, despite these improvements, there are still some frustrating limitations that hinder its recommendation. The absence of an undo feature, non-resizing text boxes, and lack of integration with other Zoho apps like word processor documents or spreadsheets prevent seamless workflow. It suggests that Zoho may be expanding too quickly, focusing on new products rather than enhancing the integration of existing tools. While Zoho is making progress with its apps, the 2.0 version of Zoho Show is not yet suitable for widespread adoption by real-world users.


2006. Zoho Show launches - free online Powerpoint alternative

Zoho has recently introduced another web office tool called Zoho Show, which functions as a web-based alternative to PowerPoint. This AJAX-powered application allows users to import PowerPoint (.ppt) and OpenOffice (.sxi) presentations. You can create presentations that are either public or private, and conveniently incorporate images from your Flickr account. However, it appears that the current version lacks an export function. Fortunately, Zoho offers the ability to test the service without requiring sign-up, and they provide unlimited storage for your presentations. While Zoho Show may seem somewhat average and occasionally slow, it includes all the essential features one would expect. Zoho has been rapidly releasing a plethora of web applications. Their free offerings encompass Zoho Writer (an online word processor), Zoho Planner (planning tools), Zoho Sheet (spreadsheets), Zoho Creator (for building web apps), and Zoho Chat (a web-based chat service similar to Campfire). Explore Zoho's diverse range of web applications and discover how they can enhance your productivity.


2006. Presenting: Online slide show software

Google's challenge to Microsoft's Office suite is well-known, particularly with its online word processor, Writely, and its spreadsheet tool, Google Spreadsheets. However, PowerPoint is Microsoft's most vulnerable application, given its popularity among business travelers and its potential for revolutionizing sales presentations. While Google has not yet unveiled its own PowerPoint competitor, several startups such as Zoho, Structured Data, and ThinkFree are testing online presentation services that give us a glimpse of what's to come. Zoho's ZohoShow, currently in closed alpha testing, offers basic features like text charts, graphics, and image imports from Flickr. Each presentation has a unique web address for easy sharing, although additional features like secure sharing and remote slide control are needed. Structured Data's Thumbstacks has a slightly more refined user experience, with basic slide creation and image import from Flickr. It allows remote control of up to five other viewers' displays. ThinkFree Show is the most developed of the presentation tools, closely resembling Microsoft Office with good file compatibility. However, all these products still lack certain advanced features and the ability to work offline. While ThinkFree currently competes most closely with PowerPoint, Zoho shows promise with its suite of online applications and may catch up quickly. The future may see users relying less on traditional office suites as online alternatives continue to improve.
