During a WebEx meeting, the Presenter has the ability to share materials with all participants .  The way materials can be shared falls into categories, depending on the situation.as shared Files, as a shared Application, or as a full shared Desktop:

File Sharing

File sharing is the recommended method of presenting materials.  Use this when you want to present "static" files that are not going to be edited in real time.  

Files can be of the following types:  

• PDF files:  .pdf
• Documents:  MS Word (.doc/.docx/.txt)
• Presentations:  MS PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx)
• Image files:  .jpg/.tif/.bmp/.gifPDF files:  .pdf
• Video files:  .mp4
  • Note: due to bandwidth limitations, we do not recommend the use of Video if possible

In almost all cases, we recommend the use of PDF files.  Most MS Office applications allow the user to "Save As PDF".  If you need help converting/creating PDF files, please send a request to our support team.

Pros

• Can be pre-loaded saving time during the meeting
• Is faster and more bandwidth efficient than application or desktop sharing
• Is ideal for sharing presentations or documents that you do not want to edit during the meeting

...

• Requires the most bandwidth among sharing options.
• Lets an attendee with remote control access any part of your computer and modify any files, which may be a security concern.
