How to Easily Present your PowerPoint Remotely

The easiest way to present online…

Microsoft PowerPoint makes it easy to present your presentation over the Internet to a remote audience. While you present the slide show inside PowerPoint, your audience members follow along in their web browsers!

You can deliver your presentation from PowerPoint by using the Office Presentation Service, a free, public service that allows others to follow along in their web browser. No setup is required. Use your free  Microsoft account  to get started. This service is available in PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions.

• Click  Slide Show  >  Present Online  >  Office Presentation Service .
• Select the  Enable remote viewers to download the presentation  check box if you want to allow your audience to download a copy of the presentation file.

• Click  CONNECT .
• Copy Link  (so that you can paste it somewhere that other people can access it)
• Send in email Important:  You won’t be able to email your presentation directly from PowerPoint on a Windows RT PC. Instead you can open an email program, create your email, and attach the presentation to it.
• When you are ready to start your presentation, click  Start Presentation .
• Your audience will follow along in their web browsers as you animate through your presentation.
• To end your online presentation, press  Esc  to get out of Slide Show View, and then on the  Present Online  tab, click  End Online Presentation .

• To confirm that you want to end the presentation, click  End Online Presentation .

Things to consider.

• This service from Microsoft is completely free, but has limited features.
• You do not get a link to send to your audience until you click CONNECT and are ready to start giving the presentation. You cannot get a link in advance to send out a few days early.
• Have an introduction slide showing to welcome your audience members as they link into your presentation.
• Allow a second or 2 from the time you click to advance and when your attendees will see it.
• There is no tracking or logging of the presentation or viewers/attendees.
• There is no phone or audio connectivity to your attendees built in. This service ONLY shows the PowerPoint presentation, so any additional communication with your audience will need to be done outside of this.

5 Tools to Give an Online Presentation From Anywhere

Giving an online presentation can be tricky without the right software. These online presentation tools make it easy!

Whether you work with a global team or you're just working from home, the ability to give a presentation remotely using the magic of the internet can make the difference between a powerful presentation, or a boring one.

The tools presented in this article all allow you to not only share your presentation online with others, but they all offer built-in tools that let you present in real-time , while others on your team are connected and collaborating with you.

1. Google Slides

Any list of the best online presentation tools would be lacking if it didn't include Google Slides. You can access it anywhere from your Google Drive account and it is free. Even as you present Google Slides online you can use the built-in chat tools to interact with your team.

But the best feature? You can start a live Q&A session with an audience during a presentation with Google Slides

For creating slick designs, you have a choice of several themes and hundreds of fonts while you add embedded videos, animations, charts and diagrams. Up to 100 people can work on a collaborative presentation in real time.

How to Present With Google Slides Online

To create your Google Slides presentation, go to your Google Drive account, click on the New button in the navigation menu, and select Google Slides from the list.

You can choose a blank presentation or take the help of the free presentation templates. The easiest way to start is with the free themes so you don't have to build the presentation from scratch.

After you finish your presentation, just share it with your team. You can control who can view, edit, or add comments to it with the right permissions even as they view it in real-time. Google recommends you use Chrome for best results.

Go to the top-right of your open presentation and click Present .

The presentation will open in full-screen Presenter view and you can control the flow with the toolbar at the bottom. Use the Esc key to exit full-screen.

Click on the button marked Q&A to open Audience Tools in a mini-window. This allows you to open the session to questions from the viewers. You can choose who can submit questions.

2. Microsoft PowerPoint

Business presentations often rely on Microsoft PowerPoint. And it no longer bound to your desktop thanks to Office Online that lets you create a PowerPoint presentation online.

There are some differences between PowerPoint Online and PowerPoint on Windows . But the ability to give remote presentations isn't one of them.

In PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions, you can broadcast your slides by using the Office Presentation Service. This free, public service is like the bridge that allows others to join in from their web browser. No special setup is required.

How to Give a PowerPoint Presentation Online

To start broadcasting, go to Slide Show > Present Online > Office Presentation Service .

Click Connect to the start the service. You can allow remote viewers to download a copy of the presentation by checking the Enable remote viewers to download the presentation box.

Send your meeting invitation with the link on display or as an email invite so that your team members can join. You can use any email program for this.

Click Start Presentation to begin.

When it's time to end your online presentation, press Esc to get out of Slide Show View. Again, on the Present Online tab, click End Online Presentation .

3. Zoho WorkDrive

Zoho WorkDrive is a lot like Google Drive. You can create not only slideshows but also documents and spreadsheets if you like.

The presentation tool is Zoho's suite is called Zoho Show . You'll find that the presentation editor is just as functional---if not more functional---than Google Slides. It also offers a whole bunch of great templates for you to choose from to get started.

How to Give an Online Presentation With Zoho Show Broadcast

Create and save your presentation on Zoho Show. Now, you can broadcast your presentation to your team while retaining complete control from any location in the world.

Invite your participants by sending an email or by sharing the broadcast URL link. Access the Broadcast button from the File dropdown on the top-left or the Share button on the top-right.

All participants will receive the invitation to join the broadcast. When they join, a pop-up message will display to indicate their participation.

Click Start Broadcast to begin with the first slide of your online presentation. You can invite missing members even after starting your show.

As a presenter, you can use all the different tools at your disposal like zoom controls, presenter notes, access timer, pen or highlighter tools, etc. to manage the flow.

Zoho also allows you to set edit access and allow collaborators to present with you. This can help you design group presentations when every team member is not at the same spot.

But what's a presentation without some interaction? The presenter and the participants can ask questions and share comments using the Chat panel while having a remote session on Zoho Show.

Slides is another interesting and highly functional online presentation tool that can be used by individuals and teams, This service is not only simpler than all the others on the list but it has a few unique features for creating collaborative presentations.

It works on the browser and thus on all devices as you don't need to download anything.

Slides is a subscription service with two paid plans for individuals, and one for teams. You can try out the service with the Free plan which is publicly viewable and comes with ads.

How to Create and Share Presentations With Slides

With Slides Team, your entire team can share assets and anyone involved can add to a presentation. The Slides editor is a drag and drop interface that is supported by a media library with reusable images, videos and slide templates.

The Open Source format of your presentation makes it unique among all such tools. So, you can access the code and customize it further with CSS.

Once your slides are ready and everyone is connected to the service, click the Start Presenting  button and you're good to go.

A control panel with your speaker notes, live streaming, and remote control from any touch-enabled mobile device enable you to present from any browser.

Slides for Teams is also equipped with Google Analytics integration to help you measure the impact of your presentation.

5. GotoMeeting

GoToMeeting is a paid tool that'll cost you a small monthly fee. But it's also the one virtual meeting tool that provides the capability of meeting with the largest number of people without freezing up or crashing. Free services like Skype and Google Hangouts have maximum limits of 50 and 25 respectively.

How to Give an Online Presentation With GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting isn't a presentation designing tool. But think of it as the medium which will carry your presentation among other things. The big advantage of GoToMeeting is that it is a full featured screen sharing and meeting tool over video.

So, you can not only can you show your team the slideshow presentation you created, but also show them data from Google Spreadsheets, a document from Google Docs or even show them anything else on your computer or mobile.

For instance, the Virtual Whiteboard is also a powerful medium for holding webinars and live sessions with your team. GoToMeeting's Drawing Tools like the Pen, Highlighter, Spotlight, and screen annotations let you mark up your screen as you're giving your presentation.

And while you are doing it, share content on your screen and then pass presenter control to another user whenever you need to.

You can hold cross-platform presentations across any device and even while your team members are on the move.

The Perfect Online Presentation Software

Choosing the perfect platform for your online presentation will vary from person to person and the needs of the team. You may need a platform that no one needs to pay for. This makes Google Slides the right solution.

Maybe, your company is on the Microsoft suite. Then, PowerPoint is an obvious choice. Or maybe you just want to do a product demo for potential clients, in which case GoToMeeting is what you should use.

The other fallback option is to screen share the presentation software on your desktop with virtual meeting tools like Zoom and GoToMeeting. Zoom even allows you to present in one monitor while going through the presenter's notes in another monitor. Check out our tips for giving an online presentation on Zoom or Skype with Keynote on Mac .

Best Presentation Remotes for Windows PCs in 2022

What are the best wireless presentation remotes for PC? These are.

If you're giving a big presentation, the ability to move and interact more with your audience is incredibly valuable. If you have to awkwardly stand up behind your laptop the whole time, it's nowhere near as engaging.

You need a reliable presentation remote that connects easily and travels well. Here are our recommendations for the best options for PCs.

Satechi Bluetooth Smart Pointer

Logitech r800, kensington k33374usa.

Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

I work for a well-traveled magician on the side, and we never go anywhere without our Satechi Bluetooth Smart Pointers. He's gone through three brands, and Satechi has always stood out as the best. The remote connects via Bluetooth and has a fantastic range. (We've generally had great luck between 20 and 30 feet).

If you're clicking through a slideshow and need to go back to a specific slide, there's a handy number pad hidden behind a little slide-out door. If you enter the number of the slide, it'll go back for you, which is incredibly handy when music misfires for a magic trick and you need to try to recapture the wonder.

My whole show rides on my presentation triggering properly, and the Satechi remote has been the only one I've used that works every time — Chris Funk, The Wonderist

You can also control music playback, skip tracks and slides, and control the volume of your device, so you don't need to be anywhere near your computer to do what you need to. These remotes are $45 on Amazon and come in black or silver.

See at Amazon

The Logitech R800 features a bright green laser pointer that's easy to see in any room, and the USB wireless receiver should allay any worries you might feel using a Bluetooth remote. With a 100-foot range, you're free to move about as you please without worrying about losing your connection.

The R800 has an LCD display that features a timer, which delivers silent vibrational alerts, so you can keep track of time without having to disengage from your audience. The large buttons are easy to navigate without having to look, and you'll get solid battery life from just two AAA batteries. Pricing starts around $50.

Doosl's presentation remote is a little thicker than a pen, but it'll still fit comfortably in your pocket, and its hook helps it stay in place so you always know where it is. It features a laser pointer, so you can get the whole room focused on what matters, and it has great page-up and page-down support, as well as play, pause, and black screen controls for PowerPoint presentations.

The universal receiver means you can just plug in and go — no driver or pairing is required. Just in case you forget to turn off your Doosl, it features auto standby and "deep sleep" modes to conserve battery. Pricing starts at only $15.

Kensington's $30-ish wireless presenter is designed to be ergonomic, with a comfortable in-hand feel and a simple button layout that allows you to switch back and forth between slides and use the laser pointer without needing to constantly look down at your hand.

The mini USB receiver fits in the remote's housing, so it never gets lost, and you don't need to pair the remote with your computer or install a driver — just plug it in and away you go. The receiver has a 60-foot range, so you'll be able to move about the room with confidence, knowing you'll stay connected.

Aside from its wicked cool name, the DinoFire presentation remote is an awesome, pen-sized device that uses an RF receiver to communicate with your computer. It can control PowerPoint, the whole iWork suite, Word, and Excel, so if you're giving any sort of business presentation, you're covered. And at only around $14, you can grab a couple for the road.

This remote runs on one AAA battery, and that's either convenient because you don't need to remember to charge it, or it's a little inconvenient because you can't just recharge it on the go. The RF receiver has a 98-foot range, so whether you're in a conference room or an auditorium, you're connected and in control.

This wireless presentation remote features a USB receiver, a 39-foot range, and an excellent button layout for presentations where full engagement is key. The forward and back buttons are defined by raised bumps, so you know exactly which way your presentation is going at all times. There's also a blackout mode, so you can cut to black at the end or while you prepare your presentation.

For $15, this remote isn't exactly feature-rich, but according to its Amazon reviews , it's reliable and a great minimalist option. It supports the Office suite, and it has a red laser pointer. And it takes one AAA battery.

Updated February 2018: Added the Beboncool budget option and swapped in the Logitech R800 in place of the R400, since its LCD display is perfect for timed presentations and total control. Also added pricing for each remote.

Guide to the Best Wireless Presenters (Presentation Remotes) for 2023

Disclosure: When you buy something through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

In both the corporate and educational world, giving presentations is an important part of life. Anything that can help your presentation go smoothly can have a positive effect on your career. Luckily, there’s plenty of technology out there that can help you out in this area. Digital projectors are clearer and easier to see than the models we had available only a few short years ago, and most can now integrate with remote controllers.

Your typical remote controller is nothing more than a button that allows you to advance to the next slide. But there are a few models out there that offer much more control than this. You can start and stop multimedia, go back to a previous slide, or even use a laser pointer to draw attention to specific parts of your presentation. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at the three best presentation remotes on the market.

Canon PR10-G Wireless Presentation Remote

Whether you’re looking for the latest photo gear, a high-quality printer, or powerful business technology, Canon is an excellent choice. They’ve been manufacturing presentation remotes for quite some time now, but the PR10-G is the latest in modern presentation technology.

The Canon PR10-G Wireless Presentation Remote is easy to hold in the hand, but built to withstand a lot of use and abuse. It’s made from injection molded plastic, tastefully designed with a lightly textured pattern that makes it both resistant to scratches and easy to hold. Right where your thumb rests are the easy to push buttons. They use rubber dome actuators that provide a firmer press but won’t wear out with time. At the top you’ve got a handy LCD display. This screen can be used for a variety of reasons. Most people will use it for timing your presentations.

I’m sure we all know how important this is. When rehearsing, it’s easy to set a timeline and stick to it. But once you get in front of people, you find that you’re either spending too much time on one topic, or rushing through the presentation quicker than you expected. With the timer, you’ll be able to find out where you are at with just a quick glance at the face of the display. You can also use the timer to keep track of where you are at in your presentation if you’ve integrated it with video or audio media.

Perhaps the most important feature of any wireless presenter is the control layout. This is one of the many areas where the Canon model really excels. At the top, you’ve got the large button that turns the laser pointer on or off. A partial press will keep the light on as long as it’s held down. But if you depress it all the way, the laser will stay on until pressed a second time.

Below that you’ve got the typical forward and backwards buttons. Below each of those, there are two unique buttons you might not have seen before. The first is the “expand” button. This can be used with both PowerPoint or Keynote to blow up an image, video, or diagram to full size. Press it again to return to the standard size. On the right, you’ve got the start / stop button that can trigger playback of multimedia.

Compatibility

The Canon PR10-G is designed to work straight out of the box with Apple’s Keynote or Microsoft’s PowerPoint. You won’t need to go through any complicated setup procedure, just unpack it and start using it.

The biggest issue with compatibility is range. Presentation remotes often have to choose between standard Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi direct. Bluetooth is the most compatible of all standards, but suffers from short range. Wi-Fi direct works only with modern devices, but supports a longer range. Canon found a creative solution for this problem. Their remote comes bundled with a high-powered Bluetooth transceiver that plugs into the USB port on any Mac or Windows computer. This allows them to use a higher-powered setting that isn’t supported by all devices. The end result is a huge 100-foot range, allowing the remote to be used in even the largest presentation rooms.

Even without drivers, the presentation remote can be used with any Windows computer from Vista SP2 and up. This means that Windows 7, 8, and 10 all work out of the box. Mac OS 10.5 and up are supported, meaning that the remote will work with any Intel based Mac released in the last 11 years.

The stand out feature of this remote is the powerful green laser. This laser pointer might look a little different from the standard red ones, but it’s up to 8 times brighter than the red wavelength. This means that even in the brightest most well-illuminated room, you’ll have no problem drawing attention to the most important parts of your presentation.

Another great feature of canons presentation remote is the vibration feature. You can easily set notifications at various points throughout your presentations to help keep you on track. It will automatically vibrate one, five, or ten minutes before the end to remind you to wrap things up. You can also set the timer to vibrate at any other point, as needed.

Kensington Wireless Presenter

If the name rings a bell, it’s because Kensington is known primarily for their high-quality laptop security devices. The Kensington lock is generally accepted as being one of the locks on the market. Their remote presenter goes hand in hand with these locks, as you’ll often want to keep your notebook safe while you give your presentation.

The incredibly compact Kensington Wireless Presenter is designed to be simple and easy to use. While it’s not the most attractive of the bunch, you might be surprised to learn that it’s actually very comfortable to hold in the hand. Its strong curves fit with the curves of your hand, meaning that you’re not going to get uncomfortable even when you’re using it for long periods of time. Aside from the four buttons on the face, there isn’t really a whole lot of extras on this presentation remote. But the one thing we did really like was the USB port on the bottom. This can be used to charge the remote, but also provides a handy storage space for the USB receiver when not in use.

The control scheme with this remote is simple, but still highly effective. The two buttons that you’ll use the most, the forward and backward buttons, are located on either side of the main section. On the opposite orientation, you’ve got the play and stop buttons. The main difference between this button and some of the more advanced models is that each one serves a single purpose.

For example, Canon combined the play and stop buttons. If your media is currently playing, then the button will stop it, and vice versa. But this can create confusion in presentations where there are multiple media types, or if you change slides without stopping the previous media. To avoid any awkward mistakes, many presenters will prefer this simple control scheme.

The Kensington Wireless Presenter decided to go for a high bandwidth method of communication to offer solid range without dropouts. Running on the 2.4 Ghz frequency, it requires that a USB dongle be used with your computer. This transceiver can be used with Windows 7, 8, and 10 PCs. It can also work with OSX systems from 10.6 and up. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint out of the box, but the drivers allow you to map the buttons to the keyboard. With a few quick clicks, you can set it up to control any presentation software you like.

Logitech R800 Professional Presenter

We’ve reviewed Logitech’s accessories many times before, and not once have we come across one that disappoints us. While their professional wireless presenter is much larger than some, the impressive range of included features makes this presenter just as powerful as it is large.

The Logitech R800 Professional Presenter is ergonomically designed to be comfortable to hold in the hand, and keeps all of your most important features easily accessible from the face. But aside from the standard controls, you’ve got access to a powerful LCD display on the face that performs much of the same features as the Canon model. It can help you keep track of how long you’ve bene presenting for, how long you’ve spent on a particular slide, or show you a countdown to a specific time.

The controls are quite similar to those on the Canon. You’ve got the forward and backward buttons for navigating between slides, the full screen button for expanding visual aids, and the play button to start and stop embedded media. But the unique feature on this remote is the programmable button located just below the display. You can configure this button to set any particular element you like, giving you a little more control over your presentation.

This wireless remote presenter is compatible with a wide range of Windows PCs, starting from Windows 7 and going up to the latest release of Windows 10. It uses the same wireless technology as the Cannon, requiring a dongle but giving you up to 100 ft (30 meters) of range.

The Logitech R800 Professional Presenter has a couple of features we’ve seen before, but are happy to see included. It’s got the timed vibration feature, which we found to be a little easier to use than the Canon model. The timer is set from the included features, and gives you a ton of control over how and when the timer goes off. You can set different types of vibrations for different alarms. For example, short pulses can signify an impending time limit, or long ones can remind you to move on to the next slide.

Another great feature of this remote is the same high powered green laser pointer we liked so much. Once you use such a bright pointer it’s unlikely that you’ll want to go back to the basic model.

Which Wireless Remote Presenter is Right for Me?

Not sure which one is right for your business? For most users, we’re recommend the Canon PR10-G . This remote is fully compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, and gives you plentiful controls and a powerful laser.

You might also want to consider the Logitech R800 Professional Presenter . This model adds a powerful timing system that lets you make the most of the built-in vibration feature.

Finally, there will be a few people who just need something simple for their presentations. In this case, you can’t go wrong with the Kensington Wireless Presenter . It’s affordable, easy to use, and reliable. If this is all you need, there is no sense is spending money on a high-end model.

2 thoughts on “Guide to the Best Wireless Presenters (Presentation Remotes) for 2023”

I am seeking a presenter which is compatible with Corel software on a PC running Windows 10. I will appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you for the great reviews. I am currently using a Kensington Presenter Pro that has been good for me for quite some time now. I like the size and the button layouts; the range is wonderful; and the green laser is plenty bright. That all said, the one thing that drives me mad is the clicking sounds of the buttons. How on earth did the design team feel this was okay. During a quiet part of a presentation when I’m not talking, but still advancing slides, this is completely distracting.

You did not happen to mention if any of these above have silent ‘soft touch’ buttons. I think the Canon might, but not sure. Can you please confirm which ones do and which ones don’t.

Thank you. Cheers! Kevin

What is a Presentation Remote

Presentation remotes are truly helpful gadgets for people who need to make presentations or reports quite often. This compact digital device allows you to switch the slides when you wish and, therefore, to control the time for each slide. Most wireless presentation remotes have a built-in laser pointer that helps you draw the attention of the audience to a certain important aspect. If you want to make a really successful presentation, no matter if it's at school, college, or at work, a USB presentation remote is a must-have device.

If you wish to use a versatile remote for controlling several digital devices at a time, read our review of the best TV remotes and get one of them.

What Features to Compare

The first thing you should pay attention to when making a choice of a wireless presentation remote is the design. Consider the shape and the size of the pointer as well as the material it's made of. You should use the device that you will be able to hold comfortably. If the material is slippery, you might even drop the device. Also, if the remote is too big for your palm, using it won't be convenient. Also, the best gadgets have a special storage place for a USB receiver. This way, you will never lose this tiny yet indispensable peripheral. If the model you choose has no receiver storage, make sure to check if it has a special case or a bag. The best wireless presentation remotes have light indicators, informing you about such important issues as the battery charge level and the signal strength. There's another highly important aspect we are going to draw your attention to - very often we prepare files for presentations and forget to copy them to a flash drive. Has this ever happened to you? Quite likely it has! And that's why the best presentation remotes have a receiver with a slot for microSD cards. Thanks to this important feature, you can copy all your presentation files to a memory card. That's particularly handy for busy people like teachers and professors.

Next, you need to know what each wireless presentation remote can actually do. It's self-evident that slide switch is not the only option these devices can cope with. There are many other handy capabilities that will make your presentations really interesting and efficient. Many presentation remotes support a Mouse mode which allows you to control the cursor on the screen of your computer. This way you can pick the files you need, open them, as well as launch apps/videos or even click on hyperlinks. Very often the audience can't get major points of a presentation and that's why a laser pointer comes in handy too. How does it work? You just need to push the button and a laser pointer will appear on the screen, so you will be able to highlight the most important features. Many people think that the laser pointer glows red only, but this is wrong. Today, some wireless presentation remotes glow green - a green laser is brighter. Moreover, some devices feature violet or blue laser pointers but they aren't widespread yet. Finally, when you are done with the slides, you may need to switch the audience's attention from a large glowing screen to yourself. How to do it without losing time? The answer is simple - turn off the screen completely. That's why most presentation remotes have a Black Screen button that allows you to do it in the blink.

We've come to the final features that are worth you consideration. Since nearly all presentation remotes are wireless, you should know their operational range. If the computer is too far, the signal from the remote to the receiver won't be strong enough. No need to say, the range is important if you are going to make presentations in large premises. If it's just a small conference room in your office, the range won't be important. Also, don't forget to check which operating system a USB presentation remote is compatible with. Most of them are compatible with Windows (usually, all versions are supported, though Windows 10 might be a trouble for certain dongles), but if you make lots of presentations and, thus, need to use different kinds of computers, choose the remote compatible with Mac OS as well. Some devices can also work with Linux and Android-operated computers. In the end, check what power source every device uses. As usual, it's either a built-in battery or 1-2 AAA batteries. The batteries can be replaced quickly but if a remote has a built-in battery, it should be charged in advance.

Presentations: Choosing a Presentation Remote Control

If you deliver digital presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint or other presentation software programs, how do you advance to the next or previous slide? You can move forward to the next slide with the keyboard or the mouse or even have someone else help you, but this can be awkward or keep you locked in near your laptop. For more professional results, use a presentation remote control to easily navigate through your slide shows.

Presentation Remote Features

Many projectors come standard with a remote, but features vary and may not always be easy to use. A better choice is to use your own personal presentation remote control. When evaluating a remote, look for these features and decide what is important to you:

• Simple to use. In most cases, a smaller, ergonomic remote is easy to use but test it before buying. One of my friends loves her small remote, which is only about the size of a flash drive. The tradeoff is she needs to press 2 buttons together to make the screen go black, a feature that doesn’t always work.

I was reminded of the importance of an easy-to-use remote when I watched an excellent presenter pull out a huge remote that looked like a price scanner gun from Home Depot. As he fumbled with a large panel of buttons, the remote dropped to the floor and broke open with batteries flying across the stage.

• Transmit distance. Remotes operate with three different technologies: RF (wireless radio frequency), IR (infrared), and Bluetooth. There are also smartphone apps that can turn your device into a remote via WiFi or Bluetooth connections. A huge drawback with IR remotes is that you need to point the mouse directly at the receiver for it to work. You won’t likely find these anymore unless your office has some “old school” technology. Bluetooth and RF remotes have a range of 50 to 100 feet. With some remotes, you can have your back to the laptop and move to the middle of an audience. What do you need for your presentations?
• Built-in mouse. Some presenters will sacrifice a bit in size to get a built-in mouse; usually, a small button like you see on some laptops. Other remotes have a trackball or a touchpad. I prefer a separate wireless mouse that I use for portions of my presentations. I find a built-in mouse to be too awkward, but it might be great for your purposes.
• Visible laser pointer. If you’d like a built-in laser pointer, make sure to test it for visibility and practice moving it slowly. Some of the pointers have such a small laser dot that it doesn’t show well on screen. Would an animation be a better way to highlight parts of a slide or a process?

While you can locate some remotes at your local computer store or office supply outlet, your best option may be to find someone who has a remote and try it out. A popular Bluetooth remote is the Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote which has a range of up to 100 feet. Although pricier than other remotes, the Spotlight has an advanced pointer to highlight, magnify, or pinpoint areas of focus with a digital laser. My current presentation remote control is the Logitech Professional Presenter R800 which includes a green laser and a cool timer that vibrates to tell you when your presentation time is up. The R400 model is also ergonomic and easy to use. I also often use a very simple finger ring remote ( www.amazon.com ) which makes it easy to discreetly navigate presentations while still offering the features of more robust presentation remote controls. Yes, I’m nerdy enough to actually pack two remote controls in my laptop bag.

There are many other models and brands to consider. Personally, I don’t like remotes loaded with tons of features that you might not need; these remotes are typically bigger or more complicated to use. Remember, you should be using a remote so that you don’t call attention to the technology and your audience can focus on your content.

Tech Options for a Remote Control

With Bluetooth technology, you may already have a presentation remote control on your wrist or on your desk. Some presenters leverage their wearable tech and use their Apple Watch to control a slide presentation. Other options include running a presentation from your smartphone or iPad. Check with your IT support department or tech-savvy colleagues to see if this is a good option for your presentations.

Practicing with a Remote Control

After you choose a remote, practice with it before you use it. Don’t just try it at your desk, you need to also set up your laptop and remote and actually run through your presentation. The first time I did this, the screen kept going black, or I would accidentally advance to the next slide. The problem wasn’t with the remote; it was that I was holding my presentation handout in the same hand and accidentally hitting a remote button through the handout. An easy adjustment but not obvious if my only rehearsal was in my office.

I personally like to choreograph my slide actions into my presentation notes to avoid looking back at the projection screen to check my location. Or, set up your laptop in the meeting room so you can glance at the screen and still keep the connection with your audience.

Rehearsing with your remote should be a built-in part of your presentation rehearsal to avoid distracting your audience and accomplishing the goal of communicating your message.

Bonus Tip: Always bring extra batteries; many speakers change out batteries for every presentation. If possible, label the remote or put several business cards in the carrying case in the event that your remote is misplaced.

Buying guide for best presentation remotes.

The digital revolution has left an indelible mark on the world of presentations. PowerPoint and similar software programs give us visual aids that become the focal points during lectures and conferences. Enter the presentation remote, a speaker’s solution to cutting the cord. With a presentation remote, a presenter is free to work the room instead of being cloistered behind a computer during key discussions.

Presentation remotes solve a logistic problem for speakers, especially in larger rooms and auditoriums. Wireless control is freeing, and with a laser pointer in hand, a presenter can speak from a distance while guiding the audience with a focal point. Whether you’re an educator or keynote speaker, investing in a presentation remote is a must. We examined the best presentation remotes to help you decide which one is on-point with your public speaking needs.

Key considerations

Battery type.

Presentation remotes are powered by either alkaline or rechargeable batteries. A remote that takes alkaline batteries will likely require one to four AAA batteries.

Presentation remotes with rechargeable batteries power up quickly and hold a charge for several hours. Keep in mind that these batteries aren’t removable or docked to an external device. You simply plug in the cord into an available USB hub .

If you’re leaning toward a remote that requires alkaline batteries but want the perks of a rechargeable remote, you could split the difference and invest in rechargeable batteries . They cost more than alkaline ones, but the investment pays off long-term with fewer battery purchases.

Consider the spaces where you’ll deliver presentations. Some remotes have very limited ranges of between 30 and 50 feet. These are better suited for classrooms and small conference rooms. For auditoriums and halls with a lot of square footage to cover, consider a presentation remote with a range between 100 and 300 feet.

USB receiver size

The USB receiver comes in a variety of sizes. Some are only millimeters in width; others are the size of a regular thumb drive. Many presentation remotes are designed to have the receiver pop into the handheld device itself. It usually clicks into place, so it’s secure during storage. Other USB receivers are completely separate pieces, safely kept in a case with the remote after use.

Compatibility

Some presentation remotes are designed to be compatible only with specific devices and software. Others boast blanket compatibility, citing compatibility with the oldest and newest technology in the presentation space. The latter is an attractive feature if you’re a traveling speaker who can’t always predict what will be in the room when you arrive.

Color doesn’t play a huge role in presentation remotes, although there are some models that go beyond the rudimentary black and gray. For the most part, they’re monochromatic with occasional color pops on buttons and logos. Color accents of silver, gray, and white are usually contrast colors to indicate where the buttons are and in some cases, what they do.

Laser pointer

The laser pointer is another standard feature. Unlike other buttons on the remote, this one has to stay pressed to beam in most models. This design element is also a safety feature, as lasers should be used with discretion; you wouldn’t want to accidentally shine it in someone’s eyes or in their line of vision. Laser colors are either red or green. While some say green is easier to see than red, laser color is a matter of preference.

The placement, design, and responsibilities of the buttons vary between models.

Some presentation remotes have a D-pad (directional pad), a recognizable four-way button seen on video game controllers and TV and DVD remotes. The D-pad will either be a single button that moves in different directions or a series of slightly spaced individual buttons. The left and right buttons most often control slide commands (for example, go back or move to the next slide). The up and down buttons take on different responsibilities depending on the model; they may control the blank screen command, scroll through a screen, or turn on the laser pointer.

Power switch

The power switch has the most thoughtful placement on presentation remotes. Since no one wants a presentation to come to a screeching halt with technical difficulties, it’s usually neatly tucked away in a place with the least amount of hand contact. For some models, it’s on the side; for others, it’s on the back.

Blank screen

The blank screen button varies quite a bit between models, but it generally remains in the same location. It’s either part of a D-pad setup or situated close to the D-pad as an independent button.

In some models, there is a separate button to initiate a connection between the remote and computer. Other models simply connect as soon as they’re turned on.

Presentation remote prices

Presentation remotes typically cost less than $100, so if it’s something you plan to use on a regular basis, the price is palatable.

On the low end, there are presentation remotes between $10 and $25. These tend to be made with lower-quality materials and components and may not be as reliable as their pricier counterparts. Between $25 and $90, you’ll find better-performing models with a focus on ergonomic design. Products in this range are also compatible with more devices and software. There are some presentation remotes over the $90 mark, and these integrate other technology into their design. For example, the remote may also serve as a mouse , or it might have programmable functions.

• Remember your USB receiver. Once your presentation concludes, be sure to remove the USB receiver from the computer right away. Set a timer on your watch or phone as a reminder to take it before you leave the room.
• Double-check your presentation. Make sure there are no issues between your presentation remote and your computer. Arrive early to the lecture hall or conference room to leave time for setup.
• Keep your presentation remote in a case. If it didn’t come with a case, invest in a compact, padded one to keep the remote protected inside your bag or briefcase .
• Clean your hands before use. Use your presentation remote with clean hands to keep dirt away from accumulating between buttons. Hand sanitizer can remove excess residue in a pinch if you don’t have time to wash your hands.
• Keep spare batteries on hand . Be prepared with an extra set of batteries in your bag. While many people have spare phone chargers, sometimes it’s harder to locate batteries when you need them right away.

Other products we considered

Because so many models of presentation remotes share the same features — and even similar shapes and designs — we took a special look at some remotes outside the norm. The DinoFire Wireless Finger Ring USB PowerPoint Presentation Clicker breaks from the handheld tradition and wraps itself conveniently around your pointer finger. It’s rechargeable, taking only one hour to charge and lasting for seven days. Periods of low activity kick off its sleep mode, so this futuristic presentation remote-ring is a top battery-saving and space-saving option.

For time-conscious speakers, the Doosl Wireless Presenter Laser Pointer Green PowerPointer Clicker Remote LCD Display with Timer is essential. This model has a green LCD display that is programmable with vibrating alerts to help you keep time. It has a 300-foot wireless range thanks to a top-grade microchip, so it’s an ideal pick for speakers who like to move around in a large auditorium.

Q. My presentation has moving text and images on each slide. Can I control those features with my presentation remote? A. It depends less on the remote and more on how you design your presentation. For example, a plain PowerPoint presentation will move to the next slide with a single click. If your presentation has moving images or text, each one requires a single click to progress. After all interactive parts of the slide are completed, a final click transitions to the next slide.

Q. I’m left-handed. Are some remotes easier to use than others? A. Most of the presentation remotes on the market have axial symmetry, which means you can reach buttons just as easily holding it in the left hand as the right. For remotes with a side power switch, it’s usually located on the left lateral side. If you’re concerned about accidentally hitting it during use, opt for a remote with the switch on the back. 

Q.  Because my presentation remote is wireless, do I need to worry about any other device interference? A. Sometimes there is interference or interruptions during use if your USB receiver is plugged into a computer with other wireless devices, like a wireless keyboard . You could disconnect them temporarily in settings or manually remove their USB receivers during your presentation.

Q. My presentation remote worked fine at home, but I can’t get it to work in this room/auditorium. Now what do I do? A. If there is someone technical in the room who can help, hopefully they can resolve the issue. If not, call for IT assistance. While you’re waiting for them to arrive, try the USB receiver in another computer. You can also try one in another room to determine whether the issue is the computer or the remote itself.

Power Point Online Remote Control

Is there a way to control the current slide on a Powerpoint Online presentation from another computer, web app, or cross platform mobile app? 

I'd like to remotely control the presentation being displayed on another machine remotely.

If not, is there an API available for PowerPoint Online to develop one?

You may be able to write a JavaScript add-in for PowerPoint Online that could do this. Here is Microsoft's page about it: JavaScript API for PowerPoint And here is Microsoft's developer page for PowerPoint .

Was this reply helpful? Yes No

Sorry this didn't help.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the info John! 

It looks like these are for the desktop version of PowerPoint. Is there something for the online version specifically? 

OK great, I will look more into this. 

Thanks! 

Ok, so while I am researching this API, I am wondering if there are any applications or widgets out there already that can achieve this?  I see a lot of PowerPoint remotes, but they are all meant to be on a local network, which doesn't work for us.  Essentially all I need to do is hit left and right..

Any advice?

Searching on "PowerPoint Online" "remote control", I was able to find this Android app that promises to work with PowerPoint Online, Prezi and Google Slides: Swoosh for Android . There may be others, I only spent 5 minutes looking.

Yea, there are many options out there for bluetooth and wifi on a LAN, such as the swoosh app.  I'm trying to control a machine across the country. The "Remote For Slides" below is essentially what I need, but for PowerPoint.  I essentially am just trying to hit next and previous except remotely. Seems like such a simple task!

Thanks again for your help on this!

Broadcast your PowerPoint presentation online to a remote audience

Important:  The Present Online feature is no longer available in most versions of PowerPoint for Windows. To present live to a remote audience, you can use  PowerPoint Live  in Teams or  Live Presentations  in PowerPoint for the web. 

Using PowerPoint for Windows, you can broadcast your PowerPoint presentation over the Internet to a remote audience. While you present the slide show inside PowerPoint, your audience members follow along in their web browsers.

Tip:  If you're using a Mac consider sharing your presentation using Microsoft Teams. See  Tip: Show PowerPoint slides in a meeting  for more information.

In newer PowerPoint versions, you may deliver your presentation from PowerPoint by using the Office Presentation Service, a free, public service that allows others to follow along in their web browser. No setup is required. Use your free Microsoft account to get started.

In PowerPoint, close any open presentations that you don’t want to share.

Present online

Click Slide Show > Present Online > Office Presentation Service .

Select the Enable remote viewers to download the presentation check box if you want to allow your audience to download a copy of the presentation file.

Send in email

When you are ready to start your presentation, click Start Presentation .

To end your online presentation, press Esc to get out of Slide Show View, and then on the Present Online tab, click End Online Presentation .

To confirm that you want to end the presentation, click End Online Presentation .

Presentations are evolving, making desktop-based presentation software feel like it’s stuck in the last century. On the other hand, we’re seeing an uptick in free and freemium online presentation software that allows you to create presentations on your phone, build them out of different media formats, or turn them into fun, approachable cartoons. 

There are a lot of options out there, so we reviewed them all to help you find the software that will make you look like a rockstar with your remote control device (without costing an arm and a leg).

Let’s dive in!

The Best 100% Free Online Presentation Software

1. the best online presentation tool for the google ecosystem: google slides.

Google Slides is a widely used free online presentation software that functions as part of the Google Workspace suite of productivity tools and can be accessed through a browser. It offers a range of features to craft professional-looking slideshows for various purposes, such as business presentations, academic projects, training materials, or personal slideshows.

It’s a good option – whether you’re lone-wolfing your prez or working with a team (the collaboration features are great).

Google Slides Features

• Converts PowerPoint Files to Google Slides and vice versa.
• Smart Compose AI feature for creating presentations faster. 
• Real-time collaboration (including chatting, comments, and reviews).

2. The Best Free Online Presentation Software for the Apple Pickers: Keynote

If you want to stay within the iOS, i.e., iWork suite, you should check out Apple’s Keynote presentation tool. In addition to being 100% free, it offers pretty sleek templates and key presentation features. Even though it’s free, it can hold up its own against its paid competitors, making it an excellent choice for both personal and professional presentations.

Apple Keynote Presentation Features

• Templates, effects, animations, graphics, charts, support for YT and Vimeo videos, and Apple Pencil scribbles.
• Real-time collaboration.
• Remote control and presenter view.

Desktop + Mobile (iOS & Android) + Web (requires iCloud account).

Keynote Pricing 

Keynote is free.

3. PowerPoint, but Online: Microsoft Sway

We’ll be honest: Microsoft Sway doesn’t have PowerPoint’s feature stack. However, you’ll like Sway if you need to create a simple presentation heavier on the visuals than the technical aspects. It offers cool interactive elements and automated layout and design suggestions. 

You may not look like a pro graphic designer right away, but give it time. 😉

P.S. Did you know you could also use PowerPoint online ? It might be worth checking out if you just can’t part with it!

Microsoft Sway Core Features

• Templates, interactive and dynamic presentation elements, such as navigation buttons and embedded web content.
• Collaboration features.
• Automatic layout and design suggestions.

Microsoft Sway OS

Desktop and web.

Microsoft Sway is available if you already have a Microsoft 365 subscription (starting from $6.99/month). You can also use it for free with limited features. 

The Best Freemium Presentation Software in 2023

1. everyone’s sweetheart: canva has one of the fanciest freemium online presentation tools.

Canva , our beloved. No matter if you’re whipping up a quick graphic for your Instagram or creating a flyer, Canva’s library of thousands of templates has got your back. And if you need a presentation, guess what? 

You’re covered, too!

Canva Presentation Features

Canva Pricing

Canva offers a free plan that has 99% of your daily presentation needs covered. Paid plans start from $12.99/mo/user.

2. SlideDog: The Best Online Multimedia Freemium Presentation Software

  If you want next-generation presentations, check out SlideDog . It allows you to combine media from multiple sources , including PowerPoint, videos, images, and even live web pages, and pack it all into one seamless presentation that will keep your audience more captivated than they’d be with a standard slideshow. 

The biggest perk is the simplest: everything shows up in your presentation the way it looked to begin with, with no file type or compatibility issues. Then, add an extra dose of interactivity with polls, feedback, and more!

SlideDog Features

• Drag your various files into SlideDog, assemble them in your preferred order, and hit “Play”!
• Support for PPT, PDF, Prezi, and more.
• Remote control, live sharing & presenter view.
• Interactive elements: feedback, polls, and audience chat. [Paid feature.]

SlideDog OS

Slidedog pricing.

3. Slides.com - Great for Devs (and Everyone Else)

Slides focuses on appearance more than storytelling, so if you’re the kind of person who normally uses three PowerPoint slides but gets annoyed at how dull they look, this presentation tool might just be ‘it’ for you.

If you upgrade to one of the paid plans, you’ll unlock more features, including AI-assisted presentation creation and the ability to upload videos.

Slides Free & Paid Features

• Templates, animations, media library, and integration with Unsplash and GIPHY.
• Remote control & presenter view. 
• Use code blocks and Developer Mode for custom features. [Paid feature.]

4. Powtoon’s Explainer-Video Online Presentation Software

Powtoon is designed to create animated presentations and videos. It’s more focused on ‘explainer’ presentations and videos, which is a fresh approach compared to other online presentation tools. 

If you’re interested in turning your presentations into short films with voiceovers and animations, check it out!

However, keep in mind that, on the free plan, you won’t be able to download your presentations – just export them to YouTube or share them via Twitter and Facebook. 

Powtoon Features

• Professional templates and assets. [Paid feature.]

5. How Free Is Emaze’s Presentation Tool?

Emaze is a feature-rich presentation tool that offers a wide range of templates, customization options, animation effects, and collaboration features. However, many of the features won’t be available on the free plan, making it feel a little lackluster if you’ve been testing the likes of Google Slides and Keynote.

Emaze Features

• Templates, quizzes (up to 3 on the free plan), widgets, maps, graphs and charts, and more.
• Custom effects. [Paid feature.]
• Collaboration features. [Free, but improves significantly with paid plans.]

Emaze is web-based.

Emaze Pricing

Emaze has a freemium option, and the paid plans start from $5/mo for students.

6. The Prince Among Freemium Presentation Software: ZohoShow

ZohoShow is designed to be user-friendly and packed with features that’ll make your presentations stand out. And the best part? It’s both pretty and free! 

After our very own SlideDog , ZohoShow is one of our favorite freemium online presentation tools. 

ZohoShow Features

• Templates, themes, and design elements.
• Interactive elements, including charts, tables, and multimedia content.
• Remote control & beaming.

ZohoShow OS

Web app, Android, iOS. 

ZohoShow Pricing

When it comes to freemium software that helps you build online presentations, Visme is a good choice. Even though its free version is limited, it still provides the core functionality to build seamless and beautiful presentations. 

Visme Features

• Templates, images, graphics, multimedia, and other assets. [Free plan only includes some of the assets – not the full library.]
• Animations, transitions, and interactive elements. [Paid feature.]
• Collaboration.
• Presenter view & remote control.

Visme Presentation Software OS

Desktop, web, and mobile.

Visme Pricing

Visme’s free plan comes with limited templates and graphics, as well as limited collaboration features. Still, it has a generous cap of max 50 slides, and you get access to the easy-to-use editor, so you should be good! 

Once you’re ready, you can upgrade to one of the paid plans, starting from $12.25/mo.

8. Pitch.com Free Version Review

Pitch is as simple as it gets without sacrificing the aesthetic of building an engaging presentation. Made primarily for startups, it now helps students, businesses, and everyone else who needs to create something stunning for the next time they’re on stage. 

Pitch’s free plan is also very generous when compared to others. You’ll be able to build unlimited presentations, invite unlimited members, use voiceover recordings, and get custom templates and fonts. 

Pitch.com’s Free Features

• Custom templates and fonts, integration with sites like Unsplash and GIPHY for your multimedia needs, and their own template gallery.
• Integration with Google Workspace, ChartMogul, YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, and others.
• Team collaboration.
• Offline access.

9. Mentimeter for Fun Online Presentations

Mentimeter specializes in interactive online presentations, and the best part is that you’ll get plenty of those interactive elements in the free plan, as well. 

While the colorful palette may make you think it’s best suited to schools, Mentimeter presentations do a good job of spicing up any garden variety meeting, so you might want to test them during your next all-hands.

Mentimeter Features

• 34 slide types on the free plan (unlimited on paid), Q&A feature, word clouds, quick layouts, and more.
• Paid plans also offer team collaboration, custom themes and colors, Excel exports, quick forms, Q&A moderation, and more.

Mentimeter OS

Mentimeter pricing.

Mentimeter has a great free version for online presentations, while the paid plans start from €11.99/presenter/month.

10. Adobe Express Presentation Maker for Online Presentations on the Go

Much like any other Adobe product, Express Presentations are beautiful and powerful under the hood. And even on the free plan, you’ll get plenty of features to spice up your next appearance in front of the team, class, or prospects.

If you’re in a rush, I’m a big fan of the “ Remix ” feature, where you take an existing template or presentation and put your own twist on it without having to start from scratch. 

What Does Adobe Express Free Offer?

• Basic editing and photo effects, 2k+ fonts, free stock photo collection, templates, and graphic assets.
• Storage: 2GB.
• Web app and mobile app.
• Remix feature for quick template customization.

The paid plan, on the other hand, gives you a bit of an upgrade with more storage, shinier effects, and better access to Adobe Stock’s vast gallery. 

Web app, Android, iOS.

Adobe Express Presentation Pricing

Adobe Express has a free plan, and the Adobe Premium plan is $9.99/month.

11. FlowVella

FlowVella ’s freemium plan is one of those “try it before you buy it” plans, meaning you can create up to 4 public presentations. If that’s enough, and you rarely create presentations, give it a go!

The presentations will be watermarked, and you’ll only be able to create up to 10 slides, but it’s still a good taste test for the interactive features.

FlowVella Features

• Interactive elements like navigation, buttons, galleries, and more.
• Multimedia support (images, PDFs, videos, etc.).
• Kiosk mode for digital display and signage.

FlowVella OS

Native mobile app for iOS, desktop, and web.

FlowVella Pricing

FlowVella has a limited free plan, and the paid plans start from $10/mo.

Wrapping It Up

Unfortunately, we can’t list just about any tool under the sky for this article. However, if you haven’t found a good fit among the eleven we mentioned above, you may want to check out:

• PicMaker – Free presentations for students, professionals, and more. 
• Piktochart – Drag & drop presentations with a neat free plan.
• Renderforest – A much bigger suite of tools for videography and design, but plenty of support for (free) presentations.
