How to Screen Share a PowerPoint Presentation in Zoom Posted: 04 Mar 2021 08:07 AM PST No matter where you work, meetings all have one thing in common: PowerPoint presentations. If you use Zoom, you can easily present your slideshow to the participants by sharing your screen. Here's how it's done. Grant Access to Share Screens in ZoomIf you're the host of the Zoom meeting, you'll be able to share your screen without issue. However, if you're joining a meeting that you aren't the host of, you may need to request permission from the host to be able to share your screen. As a general rule, we recommend that hosts disable the screen-share feature for participants by default for security reasons. If you aren't the host of the meeting, be sure to reach out to the host in advance to request permission to share your screen during the Zoom call. Hosts can always enable the feature during the call, but it's always good to be a step ahead. If you're the host of the meeting and someone is requesting permission to share their screen during the meeting, click the up arrow next to "Share Screen" at the bottom of the window. In the menu that appears, click "Advanced Sharing Options." The "Advanced Sharing Options" window will appear. In the "Who Can Share" section, click the bubble next to "All Participants." All participants in the meeting can now share their screen. Screen Share a PowerPoint Presentation in ZoomTo screen share your PowerPoint presentation, go ahead and open the PowerPoint presentation that you would like to present. However, before you put the presentation in Slide Show view, you'll want to share your screen. At the bottom of the Zoom meeting window, click "Share Screen." If you're using a single monitor, you will immediately start sharing your screen. If you're using dual monitors, you'll need to click the screen that your presentation will be shared on. In our case, that will be "Screen 2." To begin sharing that screen, click "Share" at the bottom-right corner of the screen select window. You're now sharing your screen. Now, in Microsoft PowerPoint, select the "Slide Show View" icon in the bottom-right corner of the application. From here, deliver your presentation as though you were standing in front of a live audience. If you are giving a big presentation through Zoom, you're not going to just jump straight into it. You may need to speak to the audience a bit before sharing your screen. If so, here are a few tips on how to look better on your Zoom call. |
How to Quickly Format an SD Card on Mac Posted: 04 Mar 2021 07:00 AM PST There are times when an SD Card starts acting weird. Once you have backed up your data, the only sure-fire way of resetting the SD card is by formatting it. Here's how to quickly format an SD card on Mac. If you're a long-time Mac user, you might be familiar with the Disk Utility. It's the app that lets you manage and format internal and external storage. While it works great for SSDs and hard drives, it's a bit weird when it comes to formatting SD cards. RELATED: How to Use Your Mac’s Disk Utility to Partition, Wipe, Repair, Restore, and Copy Drives Thankfully, there's a quicker and easier way to format an SD card. SD Association's own SD Card Formatter app lets you format an SD card in just a couple of clicks. The application supports SD/SDHC/SDXC cards. To get started, visit SD Association's SD Card Formatter download page. From here, click the "For Mac" button. Scroll down and click "Accept" to accept the terms and conditions. Now, the app will be downloaded to the Downloads folder. Go to the Downloads folder and double-click the "SDCardFormatterv5_Mac" zip file. This will expand into a folder with the same name. Double-click the folder to open it. Now, double-click the installer package. Here, follow the process to install the SD Card Formatter app. Once the app is installed, open it with the Applications folder or by using Spotlight search. RELATED: How to Use macOS’ Spotlight Like a Champ You can now connect the SD card to your Mac (using an external card reader or the SD slot, if your Mac supports the port) and go to the Finder to make sure you have connected the right SD card. Back in the SD Card Formatter app, the SD card will show up in the "Selected Card" section. You will also see the details of the SD card, such as the SD card type and capacity. Now, if you want to reformat your SD card quickly, choose the "Quick Format" option from the "Formating Options" section. If you want a full overwrite, choose the "Overwrite Format" option. This option will take a lot longer (minutes instead of seconds). Then, from the "Volume Label" section, you can choose to rename the SD card if you want. Once you're done, click the "Format" button. From the pop-up message, click the "Continue" option. Enter the password for your user account and click the "OK" button to allow the app to reformat the SD card. The app will now require permission to access the removable volume (the SD card). Here, click the "OK" button. All you have to do now is wait. If you selected the "Quick Format" option, the process will be done in a couple of seconds and you'll see a "Format Complete" message pop up. This pop-up will show the details for the newly formatted drive. Click the "OK" button to exit. And that's it. You have now formatted the SD card. When you go back to the Finder, you will find the newly formatted drive, with the new name, in the sidebar. When you select the drive, it will be empty. You are now free to copy files and folders to the SD card. If you want to format a USB drive, we recommend that you use the Disk Utility app itself. |
The 10 Best Reality TV Shows You Can Binge-Watch (March 2021) Posted: 04 Mar 2021 05:38 AM PST Reality TV once seemed entirely disposable, but it's since proved to be a cornerstone of modern TV. The genre has now lasted long enough to have its own classics. Here are 10 hit reality shows you can binge-watch right now. The Amazing RaceTaking a more upbeat tone than many reality TV competitions, this globe-trotting show hosted by Phil Keoghan follows contestants as they literally race around the world. The teams (typically two people with a personal connection) sometimes end up fighting as they crack under pressure. But the show is more about discovering the wonders of the world than watching people yell at each other. Seasons 1-29 of The Amazing Race are streaming on Amazon Prime Video ($119 per year after a 30-day free trial) and Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial). America's Next Top ModelHost Tyra Banks introduced the world to the concept of "smizing" (smiling with your eyes, of course) with this search for the most poised of the beautiful people. Maybe not every challenge actually relates to modeling, but Banks and the show's judges put these gorgeous contestants through the kind of rigorous competition they can expect to find in the glamorous but cutthroat real world of modeling. Seasons 1-22 of America's Next Top Model are streaming on Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial), and seasons 1-14 are streaming on Amazon Prime Video ($119 per year after a 30-day free trial). The Bachelor/The BacheloretteHow many people have found love on the dual versions of this reality romance franchise? Not that many, actually—at least in the long-term, but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining to watch them try. Check out pretty people vying for the affections of other pretty people, all while going on glamorous "dates" and attempting to make genuine emotional connections in the presence of cameras and producers. Three seasons each of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are streaming on HBO Max ($14.99 per month). Three seasons of The Bachelor and two seasons of The Bachelorette are streaming on Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial). Big BrotherPossibly the purest reality show, this American take on a popular international format places its participants in an isolated house outfitted with ubiquitous cameras so that they are never not being documented. There are competitions and eliminations, but for many, the real appeal of Big Brother is watching people interact when they have absolutely no way to hide from prying eyes. Seasons 1-22 of Big Brother are streaming on CBS All Access ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial). The HillsBlurring the lines between reality TV and scripted soap opera (in a way that has become increasingly common), this MTV series started out as a showcase for star Lauren Conrad's efforts to enter the fashion industry. But Conrad's friends (and frenemies) Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Whitney Port, Audrina Patridge, and Kristin Cavallari all took the spotlight at various times, giving The Hills a full ensemble of fascinatingly narcissistic personalities. All six seasons of The Hills are streaming on Amazon Prime Video ($119 per year after a 30-day free trial), CBS All Access ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial), and Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial). Jersey ShoreSure, this MTV series about a group of self-proclaimed "guidos and guidettes" living in a seaside vacation house quickly became a punchline. But its ridiculousness is part of its charm, and the stars are at least partially in on the joke. No one who calls themselves "The Situation" or "Snooki" or "JWoww" lacks a sense of humor, and these cast members know exactly how to play up their absurdity for the audience. All six seasons of Jersey Shore are streaming on Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial). Keeping Up With the KardashiansLove them or hate them, there's no denying that the Kardashians are kweens of reality TV. Matriarch Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie, and Kendall have launched various business empires via their long-running E! show. Indulge in Kardashian luxurious excess and interpersonal drama while watching the family's evolution from celebrity hangers-on to pop-culture titans. Seasons 1-19 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians are streaming on Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial) and Peacock ($4.99+ per month). The Real Housewives of Orange CountyBravo mastermind Andy Cohen launched reality TV's most loved/hated franchise with this California-based series about wealthy women (who are not actually housewives) and their daily lives. There have been many Real Housewives in many locations over the years, but the Orange County version is the most enduring. All of the sniping, conniving, drinking, bonding, and partying started here. Seasons 1-14 of The Real Housewives of Orange County are streaming on Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial) and Peacock ($4.99+ per month). The Real WorldIn many ways, this is the reality show that started it all by putting seven strangers together in an apartment to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. The MTV series evolved from a somewhat serious social experiment in 1992 to more of a showcase for fame-hungry young people in subsequent years, mirroring the overall development of reality TV itself. Seasons 1-32 of The Real World are streaming on CBS All Access ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial). SurvivorThe popularity of reality competition shows started with this CBS staple, which is still going strong 20 years after its first season premiered. Host Jeff Probst presides over teams of "castaways," who are left to fend for themselves in the inhospitable wilderness. The interpersonal dynamics are as fascinating as the survival efforts as participants form (and break) alliances. It's a study in human nature with obstacle courses. Seasons 1-40 of Survivor are streaming on CBS All Access ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial), seasons 1-34 are streaming on Hulu ($5.99+ per month after a seven-day free trial), and 19 select seasons are streaming on Amazon Prime Video ($119 per year after a 30-day free trial). |
How to Capture Mac Window Screenshots Without a Shadow Posted: 03 Mar 2021 10:09 AM PST When you take a screenshot of a window on your Mac, it captures the shadow of the window as well. It looks great, but it might not be ideal if you're sharing the screenshot online or for work. Here's how to turn off the screenshot shadow on your Mac. There are two ways to disable this window shadow. You can do it on a per-screenshot basis using a special keyboard shortcut, or you can use a Terminal command to disable shadows on all window screenshots going forward. Disable Window Shadow in Screenshots Using a Keyboard ShortcutIf you want to remove the window shadow from a particular screenshot, you can use a different shortcut variation when taking a screenshot. To take a screenshot of a window, first, use the Command+Shift+4 keyboard shortcut. The cursor will now turn into a crosshair. Hover over the window that you want to capture and press the Spacebar. The window will be selected. Now, hold the Option key when you press the Left Mouse button to take the screenshot. When you go to your Desktop (or wherever you save screenshots), you'll see that the screenshot doesn't have a shadow! RELATED: How to Take Screenshots and Record Your Screen in macOS Mojave Disable Shadows for All Window Screenshots on MacDon't want to use the Option key every time you take a window screenshot? You can use a Terminal command to disable shadows for all window screenshots captured on your Mac. To do this, first, open the Terminal app. You can do this using Spotlight search by pressing Cmd+Space. You can also find it in Launchpad. After opening Terminal, paste in the following line, then press the Return/Enter key.
This will disable the window shadows feature. Paste the following line to save the preference and press the Return/Enter key.
And that's it. Your window screenshots will no longer have a shadow! If you want to reverse this change in the future, use the following lines of code.
Annoyed with the little screenshot previews that show up in the bottom-right corner every time you take a screenshot? Here's how you can easily disable the screenshot preview thumbnails on Mac. RELATED: How to Disable the Screenshot Preview Thumbnails on a Mac |
How to Secure Chrome Sync With a Custom Sync Passphrase Posted: 03 Mar 2021 08:46 AM PST Chrome's cross-device sync feature is one of the things that makes it so popular, but it's not without problems. You may not like Google having all your browser data, for example. Thankfully, you can encrypt your synced data by adding a passcode. What Is Chrome Sync?Here's all the information that Chrome saves to your Google account with sync enabled:
This data is all backed up to your Google account, which means that the search giant has access to it as well. You can create a Sync Passphrase to encrypt this data so that Google can't read it. RELATED: How to Turn Syncing On or Off in Chrome The Sync Passphrase can be set up from Chrome on the Windows 10 or Mac desktop, iPhone, iPad, or Android. We'll start on the desktop.
Add a Sync Passphrase in Chrome on Windows and MacFirst, select the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the Google Chrome web browser and choose "Settings" from the menu. Next, click "Sync and Google Services" under the "You and Google" section.
Expand "Encryption Options" by clicking the down arrow on the right. Click the radio button for "Encrypt synced data with your own sync passphrase." After you click the button, two text boxes will appear underneath. Enter a passphrase in the first box and confirm it in the second box. Click "Save" when you're done. That's it. The passphrase will now be required whenever you sign in to a new Chrome browser and enable sync. Add a Sync Passphrase in Chrome on Android, iPhone, and iPadThe process is very similar on Android, iPhone, and iPad. First, open the Chrome mobile web browser, tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right or bottom-right corner, then select "Settings." Next, tap "Sync and Google Services" at the top of the menu. Now, select "Manage Sync." Make sure that Sync is enabled before you do this. At the bottom of the screen, select "Encryption." Choose "Encrypt synced data with your own sync passphrase." Enter a passphrase in the first text box and enter it again in the second box. Tap "Save" or "Submit" when done. You're done!
