Webinar

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A webinar is a live, interactive online presentation or seminar broadcast over the internet. Participants join from any location using a web browser or app and can interact with the presenter through chat, polls, or Q&A features. Webinars are widely used for training sessions, product demonstrations, thought leadership events, and virtual conferences. Unlike recorded e-learning, webinars create a sense of real-time connection between presenter and audience.

SlideLizard LIVE makes webinars interactive: embed live polls and Q&A directly in your PowerPoint, let participants respond on any device, and turn one-way broadcasts into real two-way conversations.

It allows organizations to distribute presentation templates that include automated functionality — such as auto-populating fields or enforcing formatting rules — while maintaining a consistent visual identity. Like .pptm files, .potm files should be handled carefully due to their macro capabilities.

AI-Powered Workflow

An AI-powered workflow is a business process in which artificial intelligence automates one or more steps that would otherwise require manual work. This can range from simple rule-based automation to fully autonomous agents that plan, execute, and adapt in real time. In communication and marketing teams, AI-powered workflows are used to streamline content production, approval processes, and distribution — reducing time-to-delivery and freeing teams for higher-value work.

A .pot file is a legacy PowerPoint template format used to define reusable styles, layouts, and formatting for presentations. Like its successor .potx, it allows teams to create multiple presentations that share the same visual identity without starting from scratch each time. The .pot format was replaced by .potx in Office 2007, which introduced an open XML-based structure for improved compatibility.
