Slideshare as the word itself implies is to
share your presentations – publicly or
privately.
Slideshare is a community where individuals
can research topics, get inspiration for
their presentation and share content.

• Therefore, confidential and
proprietary information will require
a professional membership in order
to be shared with its intended
audience on SlideShare.
Presentations on the
Basic version are
completely public
• So presentations may need to be
modified if key points originally
needed some sort of motion to be
understood.
“Motion" or the
transitions between
slides do not translate
to SlideShare

Users do not even need to register
for a username if they just want to
visit presentations.
However, to upload or to download
presentations, one can register by
providing a username, email and
password.
This is all that is needed for
Basic registration!!!
