Presenter view and keys
The presenter view
Section titled “The presenter view”Open /presenter (or press S). It shows:
- current and next — the next box names the step it will show (
Step 2), not just the slide; - notes split at
[click], with the segment for the current step highlighted; - a timer with pacing —
defaultTiming(seconds per slide), a slide’s owntiming, ortotalTimefor the whole talk; - tools — draw, laser, spotlight, blackout, share notes, share terms, confetti, camera, record, mirror, link;
- the room panel — the join QR code, presence, pace, questions and polls. It collapses to a rail with badges for raised hands, open questions and open polls.
On a hosted deck the presenter view asks for the deck’s presenter passcode, which you set in the dashboard; without it, a window can only watch.
Drawing
Section titled “Drawing”Each pen is a colour family, and a stroke drifts through it as it travels. Strokes are scribbles: they linger for five seconds and unwind along their own path on every screen. The pin keeps them. Drawings are kept per slide, so a stroke reaches viewers on the slide it was drawn on.
The share window
Section titled “The share window”Share window opens /?projector: a window that exists to be looked at — a second screen, or the
one window to share on a video call. It renders the deck exactly as / does, with your laser and pen,
and accepts no input at all, so a stray key press on a shared window in the middle of a call can never
move the deck.
? shows the sheet on any deck.
