How does Silverlight improve your VIDIZMO Experience?

Microsoft Silverlight is a web browser plug-in that provides support for rich internet applications such as animation, vector graphics and audio/video playback. It’s like Adobe Flash…just better! :)

VIDIZMO player was primarily built using the Silverlight technology because of its ability to provide enhanced user experience. In case Silverlight is not installed on your system VIDIZMO offers an alternate HTML5 player and Flash player which only playbacks video part of the presentation but misses out on these awesome features*:

  • Audio/Video with Synchronized PowerPoint slides
  • Search inside presentation
  • Downloading Attachments
  • Taking Quizzes/Surveys
  • Submitting Feedback
  • Sharing content on social media

It is highly recommended that you install Microsoft Silverlight to make use of maximum features* of VIDIZMO player

Below are some details of the added enhancements that are only available when Silverlight is installed:

Audio/Video with Synchronized PowerPoint slides:

VIDIZMO allows Presentation authors to include PowerPoint presentation slides along with their audio/video.

Search inside a presentation:

VIDIZMO offers a unique feature whereby you can search within the content of a presentation including video. While viewing a presentation you can search for a phrase or keyword and VIDIZMO Player displays all matching locations in the presentation where the keyword appears. In order to achieve this, VIDIZMO indexes the synchronized document slides, closed captions and chapters meta-data associated with a presentation. This saves time if a user is only interested in viewing certain portions of video for a particular topic of interest. This feature is only available in the Silverlight version of the player.
