I want to disable saving feature Powerpoint Presentation from Lync

Hi James,

 

Authenticated users always have the right to save a copy of the PPT, this setting cannot be changed.

But by default, external users (users who aren't logged on to your internal network) are not allowed to save it, since the AllowExternalUsersToSaveContent parameter of conferencing policy is set to false by default.

 

Best regards,

Eric

Eric is there a way to disable that feature. PowerPoint presentation?

Hi John,

You can disable the ability for users to upload PPT content by setting the -AllowOfficeContent parameter to $False in the conferencing policy that is applied to that user(s). This will remove the upload PPT content icon completely and prevent uploading.

Regarding your first question; By default, 'presenters' can download PPT content. In turn, anyone from your corporate network is designated as a presenter - this is why all internal users can download PPT content. If you want to prevent this, then you need to change the default meetingconfiguration policy. In the meetingconfigurationpolicy there is a parameter name 'DesignateAsPresenter' which will be set to Company by default. You'd need to change this value to 'none' if you wanted to prevent people downloading PPT content - This would however apply to other shared content such as whiteboards, and there's also nothing to stop the meeting organiser change this setting during the meeting. It's merely the default setting that you'd change using this method.

Kind regards

Hi James,

I did some research, Ben is right.

Only the presenters can download the PPT content.

Best regards,
