Four Winds Interactive:
Creating & Submitting
Shared Content

---

The Four Winds Interactive (FWI) digital signage system enables Computer Services to share slides with all departments across the University to promote events or programs. Individual schools, colleges, and departments have the option of posting slides submitted by other units to their display screens.

Video files are generally not recommended; for special requests, however, Windows Media (WMV) and QuickTime files are preferred. Due to University accessibility requirements, the requestor is responsible for embedding closed captioning in all video files prior to submission.

Note: Only University departmental slides will be shared; external or commercial slides are not permitted.

After submitting a file, the content will be accessible to departments within two business days.

Creating slides

When creating slides, keep in mind the following:

• The recommended PowerPoint slide dimensions are 15.8" (width) x 12.6" (height).
• For best readability, try to limit the slide text to 25 words or less.
• If you are submitting multiple slides, include all slides in a single PowerPoint file.
• The maximum display period is two weeks.

1. Log in to TUhelp.
