Webex and Keynote incompatibilies: any work arounds?
Webex is a desktop sharing protocol for use on the Internet as an online group conferencing tool. It is pretty neat and both Macs and PCs can either host or participate in a Webex session. When hosting a webex session, the host computer can run (and share) various applications and the participants see a shared application in a window on their machine. Great for demonstrating software, tutorials, presentations, etc.
But there is an issue with Keynote. When Keynote is in it normal mode, everything works fine in Webex and participants see everything I do on my machine in Keynote. But if I hit the "play" button, Keynote runs fine on my computer (acting as the host), but a participant only gets to see the very first page of my presentation. Their screens do not update when I change pages or even trigger additional text when in the play mode.
I also have MS Powerpoint. It works as expected when it is in play mode using Webex. So the work around for me is to export a Keynote presentation to Powerpoint when using Webex to give a presentation over the Internet. But since Keynote is nicer in terms of playback, I would rather use it. But this incompatibility with Webex has me blocked.
Has anyone noticed this problem and, better yet, found a better work around than using Powerpoint?
I am using Keynote 2.0.2 and system OSX 10.4.3 on a G4 Al 15" Powerbook
PowerBook G4 15 Al Mac OS X (10.4.3)
