Customizing Icons After adding an icon into your course, you can customize its colors to match your course design. Just select the icon on the slide, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and use the style galleries to edit the fill color, outline color, and effects. For example, here’s the same icon with different styles. And if an icon is composed of more than one shape, you can ungroup it and format each shape individually. Here’s how to ungroup an icon in PowerPoint: Right-click the icon, scroll to Group, and click Ungroup. When PowerPoint asks if you want to convert the picture to a Microsoft Office drawing, click Yes. Right-click the icon again. If the Group option is grayed out, it means the icon is a single object. If the Group option is active, scroll to it and then select Ungroup to see all the components that make up the icon. Here’s an example of an ungrouped icon. Below is the original icon with no formatting on the left. The same icon in the middle has been recolored all at once (without ungrouping it). And the same icon again, but this time ungrouped, with specific formatting for each component is on the right.3Views0likes0CommentsPresenter 360: Adding Content Library 360 Videos

Setting Media Properties After adding a Content Library 360 photo, illustration, or video to your interaction, you can customize its properties, such as position, size, and alternate text. These properties appear below your media (except in media tour interactions). Property Applies To Description Position Photos Illustrations Videos Choose where you want the asset to display in your published interaction (top, bottom, left, or right). Size Photos Illustrations Videos Choose either Automatic or Custom. If you choose Automatic (the default option), Engage will adjust the size of the asset so it fits in the allotted space in your published interaction. If you choose Custom, enter the width and height in pixels. Mark the Lock Aspect Ratio box to keep the asset from being distorted when you adjust its size. Zoom Image Photos Illustrations This option adds a magnifying glass icon to the image in your published output. When learners click the image, it'll zoom to a larger version—either in the current window or in a separate window, depending on your selection. Tip: An image will only zoom when its original size is larger than the allotted space in your published interaction. In other words, if an image has to be scaled down to fit in your interaction, it can be zoomed. If an image is small enough to fit in your interaction without scaling, it can’t be zoomed. Include Playbar Videos Mark this box to add player controls to the video so learners can play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward. When you include a playbar, you also have the option to automatically start the video or wait for learners to click the play button.
