We have fixed the bug that was preventing multiple YouTube videos from playing smoothly inside a presentation. Many users have complained about this… this problem should now be gone.

The YouTube embedding feature has been enhanced as well- the videos will now autoplay on reaching the video slide. To see this in action, check out this presentation (contains three YouTube videos)

We just rolled out the ability to import and share documents from Google Docs on SlideShare. For now we support importing presentations, documents and pdf files. Just follow the steps outlined below to share your work on SlideShare:

1. Make sure you are logged into your SlideShare account before trying to import documents from Google Docs.

2. Click on the “Upload” link on the navigation bar at the top of the page.

3. Click on the “Import from Google Docs” link on the upload page.

4. Enter your Google Docs credentials so that we can go and get a listing of your documents from Google.

NOTE: We do not store your credentials.

5. Almost done… you should now see a list of documents retrieved from Google. Next, you select the ones you want to import and choose the privacy settings that suit you (private or public). Once you’ve made your selection just click on “Import to SlideShare” and we take care of the rest.

We have been testing it extensively but there may still be some bugs or conversion issues, so please let us know via our feedback form: http://www.slideshare.net/feedback

You might have already caught these on TechCrunch (in separate back to back articles). We’re sharing both these decks together for those who missed it.

The first of these decks is titled VC Non Admissions. The deck was adapted from a thread on ExpertCEO contributed by a range of CEOs and VCs about the top twelve things you’d never hear a VC say.

The reply came fast. And it was titled Founders Non Admission.
