Present a slide show from a smartphone and use a laser pointer for emphasis

Watch this video for a brief demonstration:

Note:  This feature is only available if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription . If you are a Microsoft 365 subscriber, make sure you have the latest version of Office .

As demonstrated in the video, this feature requires that your smartphone have a gyroscope. But if you don't have a Microsoft 365 subscription or don’t have a gyroscope, you can still use the laser pointer by pressing and holding on the slide area and moving your finger around the slide.

To connect your smartphone to a projector, use an HDMI adapter or connect wirelessly by using AirPlay, Chromecast, or Miracast.

Use a remote to control a presentation in Keynote on Mac

You can use your iPhone or iPad as a remote control to play a presentation on a Mac. When you use iPhone as a remote control, you can also control the presentation from its companion Apple Watch.

Important: To use an iPhone or iPad with iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 as a remote, Keynote needs permission to connect to other devices on your local network. Go to Settings > Privacy > Local Network, then turn on Keynote.

Set up iPhone or iPad as a remote control

The device and the Mac need to have Keynote installed and have Wi-Fi turned on.

Open Keynote on the device that you want to use as a remote.

The device displays the Set Up Remote screen.

Note: Tap OK if you’re asked to allow Keynote to find and connect to devices on your local network.

Open Keynote on the Mac, then choose Keynote > Settings (from the Keynote menu at the top of your screen).

Click Remotes at the top of the settings window, then select Enable.

Click Link next to the device you want to use as a remote.

A four-digit code appears on the Mac and on the device.

Verify that the four-digit codes match, click Confirm, then close Keynote settings.

After the devices are linked, you can control the presentation from the remote.

Use iPhone or iPad as a remote control

You must first set up the iPhone or iPad to be a remote control, as described in the previous task. To turn your device into a remote using Handoff, Handoff must be set up on the Mac and on the device, and the presentation you want to control must be saved in iCloud Drive .

Play the presentation on the Mac.

Do one of the following:

To control the presentation, do any of the following:

Advance to the next slide or build: Tap the slide, or swipe left across the slide.

Return to the previous slide: Swipe right across the slide.

Skip to a specific slide: Tap the slide number in the upper-left corner, then tap the slide you want to display.

To change what you see on your remote device as you’re presenting, do any of the following:

Switch between a timer or current time display: Tap the time or timer at the top of the screen.

Use Apple Watch as a remote control

You must first set up iPhone to be a remote control for the Mac, as described above, and Keynote must be installed on Apple Watch and the companion iPhone. To install Keynote on Apple Watch, update the companion iPhone to the latest version of Keynote. Then on Apple Watch, confirm the installation of Keynote.

Important: For best results, set Apple Watch to wake and display Keynote when you raise your wrist during the presentation. On Apple Watch, go to Settings, tap General, tap Activate on Wrist Raise, and turn on Wrist Raise. Then tap Last Used App (swipe up to see it).

Open the presentation on the Mac.

If you followed the directions in the introduction to this task, Keynote appears whenever you raise your wrist to control the presentation from Apple Watch.

To close Keynote on Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown.

Highlight on a slide from a remote control device

If you’re using Keynote Remote to control a presentation from iPhone or iPad, you can draw on your device and have your drawing appear on the device that’s playing your presentation. This feature is useful, for example, if you want to emphasize a particular item on your slide—you can underline or circle the item for your audience.

Set up your iPhone or iPad as a remote.

Play the presentation on a Mac or another iPhone or iPad.

Do any of the following:

Draw with a color: Tap a color, then draw on the slide.

Use the laser pointer: Tap the laser pointer and move your finger around the slide; the laser pointer follows your movements.

Return to the previous slide or advance a slide: Tap the left or right arrow on the slide.

Hide the drawing tools: Tap Done.

Change the presentation devices linked to a remote control device

Open Keynote on the iPhone or iPad you use as a remote.

Tap Devices, then do any of the following:

Add another presentation device: Tap Add a Device, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Switch to a different presentation device: Tap a different device name, then tap Done.

Remove a presentation device: Swipe left across the name of the device, then tap Delete.

Unlink a remote control from a Mac

Open Keynote on your Mac.

Choose Keynote > Settings (from the Keynote menu at the top of your screen).

Click Remotes at the top of the settings window, then do one of the following:

Permanently unlink a remote: Click Unlink next to a device.

Temporarily unlink all linked remotes: Deselect Enable so the devices remain linked but aren’t functional as remotes. Reselect Enable when you want to use them again.

Keynote Remote uses Multipeer Connectivity, which allows newer iOS devices, iPadOS devices, and Mac computers that have the latest version of Keynote to connect over Wi-Fi whenever they’re in close proximity, even when they aren’t on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have difficulty using Keynote Remote with older devices or Mac computers over Wi-Fi, try adding them to the same Wi-Fi network.

Note: The old Keynote Remote app previously available from the App Store is no longer supported.

The 5 Best Apps to Make Slideshow Presentations on Your iPhone

There are lots of high-quality iPhone apps to choose from if you need to make a slideshow presentation from your phone.

Back in the day, creating a slideshow presentation meant turning on the PC and opening PowerPoint. Now, with so many great apps out there, you can create an impressive presentation right from your iPhone. Whether you need a slideshow for school, work, or just personal use, you have plenty of options.

When you’re done, you can send your slideshow presentation to your PC or share it straight from your device. If you’re wanting to know how to create a slideshow presentation on your

iPhone, this list will show you all the best apps to try.

1. Microsoft PowerPoint

The most popular program for creating slideshows, Microsoft PowerPoint, has an official app for iPhone. Like the desktop version, you can create a new PowerPoint and edit each slide. Add your pictures, text, and transitions to make it your own. With all the same features that are available on a desktop, nobody will be able to tell you made it on your iPhone.

Microsoft PowerPoint syncs with OneDrive, so if you use Outlook for school or work you can find your PowerPoint in your OneDrive account. You can also share and edit your PowerPoint presentation on the go, and even add new collaborators.

Aside from OneDrive, Microsoft PowerPoint also syncs with Box, Dropbox, Edmodo, and more. With Microsoft PowerPoint, you get all the features you want in one app.

Download: Microsoft PowerPoint (Free, subscription required)

2. Google Slides

A popular alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides has many of the same features with a major difference. That is, Google Slides is totally free and doesn’t require any subscription. All you need is a free Google account to access Google Slides.

Related: Microsoft PowerPoint vs. Google Slides: Which One Should You Be Using?

Google Slides also makes it easy to make a slideshow presentation on your iPhone. With great templates, plenty of effects, and easy editing, you can create something impressive in minutes.

Google Slides is also better for collaborating than Microsoft PowerPoint. The reason is that not everyone has Microsoft 360 or wants to pay for a subscription. Whereas most people have a Google account or can make one for free in under a minute. To collaborate with others, all you need to do is enter their email and they will get invited to edit the slideshow. Google Slides also syncs with your Google account, so you can access your slideshow on any device with access to Google.

For these reasons, Google Slides is a must-try if you’re looking to create a slideshow on your iPhone.

Download: Google Slides (Free)

Keynote is Apple’s presentation software, designed to compete with Microsoft PowerPoint. Keynote comes pre-installed on all iOS devices running the latest version iOS, so there’s a good chance you already have this app.

Like Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides, you can create a slideshow using a template and add your own text, images, and transitions. Keynote comes with 40 templates pre-installed, giving you plenty of options to choose something unique. Keynote also has some notable features that differentiate it from the competition. For example, there’s a feature called Instant Alpha that will remove the backgrounds from an image. You can also import live videos and photos to your slideshow.

Keynote is also the best slideshow app for rehearsing your presentation. Keynote has a built-in timer that shows you the time, presentation notes, and the slide on one page. You can rehearse your slides and see how long it takes to make sure you hit your time limit.

Related: The Best Slideshow Maker Apps

With all these features, Keynote is a great app to create your next slideshow. However, the collaboration feature isn’t as strong as Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides. So if you need several collaborators, one of the other options might work better.

Download: Keynote (Free)

Canva is one of the most popular graphic design apps in the App Store right now. With Canva, you can create flyers, brochures, and even logos. However, most people aren’t aware that Canva has a powerful Slideshow feature as well.

With many great slideshow templates available, you are sure to find something that stands out and will impress your audience. In fact, Canva has thousands of slideshow templates available—more than any other slideshow app. After you find your template, you can easily add your photos and text.

Since Canva has many customization features for photos, you can edit your images before importing them to your slideshow as well. Once your slideshow is completed, you can access it through the Canva website or save it to your device.

Canva is the best choice for a slideshow app if you don’t have any collaborators and want to make something truly unique. It works great for school projects, creative presentations, and showcasing your art or photographs.

Download: Canva (Free, in-app purchases available)

5. Adobe Spark Page

Adobe Spark Page is a beginner-friendly Adobe app that allows you to make impressive web pages, newsletters, and slideshows. Most Adobe apps like Photoshop or Premiere have a steep learning curve. For this reason, the name Adobe can scare off beginners. Thankfully, Adobe Spark Page is an exception.

Related: How to Make a Slideshow on iPhone

With a simple-to-use interface and dozens of premium theme combinations, you can make a slideshow right from your iPhone. The slideshow presentations made with Adobe Spark Page are simple, professional, and look great on large screens. All creations made on Adobe Spark Page are available on your Adobe account so you can access your slideshows anywhere. You can also create a public access link and share it over text or email.

While lacking some features like collaboration, it’s still a great slideshow app that’s simple and easy to use on the go. As long as you don’t need collaborators, this app is a must-try.

Ratings and Reviews

Notes not properly showing up.

The app is small in size, but very functional. I just have problems with displaying my notes. I do not know the parameters in order for my notes to properly show up. I just noticed that if the notes consists of long sentences that it just show a blank notes screen. Being able to see the notes properly is my main reason for downloading the app. Hope you can improve it. Thanks.

Please update again..

Optimized for iPhone 5 please ;-D

Maybe put some settings not only wifi can connect maybe bluetooth? It would be really nice because what if there's no wifi in the area right! But still it's awesome 🙌🏼

Remote control a PowerPoint running on iPad pro

Is it possible to host a powerpoint presentation on an iPad Pro but advance the slides using my iPhone (Or other remote)? I basically have swapped out my laptop for an iPad Pro, and have my presentations on the iPad, which works fine, except that I have to swipe the iPad to get to the next slide. Since the iPad is tethered to the TV, this is not very convenient, and even if it was wireless, I would still rather not carry the iPad. Surely I'm not the first to encounter this, and hopefully someone has already worked out a solution. If so, I'd love to hear it.

You can absolutely do this with an iPhone as the remote controller and either an iPad or a Mac computer as the presentation device As long as you open the PowerPoint presentation in Apple’s keynote app. I use this all the time.

• Open presentation in Keynote on a Mac or iPad
• open keynote app on your iPhone
• make sure both the iPad (or Mac) and iPhone are on same WiFi network or that both are connected via Bluetooth
• on the iPad, click the three periods in the upper right hand corner of screen and, in the drop down menu, select, “allow remote control”
• on the iPhone, in the Keynote app, select the iPhone icon in the upper right hand corner of screen.
• Go back to remote settings menu on iPad and pair with iPhone.
• Back in the iPhone, follow pairing instructions. When complete, select “play”

I have tussled with this as well and found a work-around solution you may find acceptable. First, some background. I taught a six-week class this past winter and wanted to host Powerpoint presentations from my iPad mini, which was tethered to the projection setup with a Lightning-to-HDMI cable. It worked great. But there was no way to control the presentation remotely (from iPhone or other remote), unless I converted the Powerpoint to Keynote, which I was not willing to do because the conversion was messy and made unwanted changes/substitutions. So here's what I figured out: You can pair an Apple wireless "Magic" keyboard to the iPad, then use the arrow buttons on the keyboard to advance the Powerpoint as you walk around the room. (Note: this isn't the "Smart" keyboard that physically connects to iPad Pro.) Carrying the wireless keyboard around is not as cumbersome as it may sound, and I generally just set it on a nearby desk wherever I was speaking, which was vastly preferable to being stuck within reach of the iPad.

You can try ppt slides with keynote. There is a remote app included with keynote.

Apple can´t develop a Bluethoot Remote Control to do this thinks?

Hello, any Bluetooth keyboard will do, I kind of hoped my Apple Watch would do the trick but it only works with the IOS deviced paired.

If you/I paired my Apple Watch to my iPad Pro, would it work?

Wireless Presenter Option for Powerpoint for iPad

I have had several of our instructors ask about using iPad's and Powerpoint..can't seem to find any options for a wireless presenter like the Kensington models that most use with their PC..any thoughts on this..

Several do not have an iPhone..so that option is not available..did try the Windows Phone remote with regular laptops and that works great.

If you want to control PowerPoint running on a PC/Mac using an app on an iPad/iPhone, Google will help if you tell it this:

control powerpoint with ipad

But if you're looking for a way to remote-control a copy of PowerPoint that's *running* on an iPad, I'm not sure there's anything like that. A google search on:

remote control for ipad

brings up lots of hits, but it's obvious that most of them are not relevant or require an iPhone.
