Some limitations
  • You cannot upload powerpoint slides on a mobile device, but only when you use your computer.
  • With the free version, your presentations are deleted after 30 days. So you will need the premium subscription to save them longer.
  • The guest account only stores your videos for 2 days.
An alternative is to share your videos on social media so as to extend their access for later use.
