Getting Started

Create slides first in Slides mode before presenting. Once you have at least one slide, press F5 or use the Start Presentation button in the Slides panel.

Presentation View

Presentation hides all editing panels and toolbars, leaving only your canvas content and a bottom toolbar. All editing keyboard shortcuts are blocked — only navigation keys work.

Bottom Toolbar

  • Previous / Next — navigate between slides
  • Slide counter — shows current slide number out of total. Click to open a dropdown for jumping to any slide.
  • Pan — hand tool for panning the canvas during presentation
  • Pointer — laser-style pointer that draws a fading trail on the canvas, visible to collaborators
  • Pointer color — choose the laser pointer color from a palette (only available when Pointer is active)
  • Hide toolbar — collapse the toolbar for a clean view. A small button in the corner lets you show it again.
  • Exit — end the presentation

Camera Transitions

When navigating between slides, the camera smoothly moves, zooms, and rotates to frame the next slide. Each slide can have its own transition duration (default 2 seconds). The camera fits the slide to the viewport automatically.

Laser Pointer

In Pointer mode, your cursor draws a fading trail on the canvas. The trail is synced to collaborators in real time, making it useful for pointing at specific elements during a live presentation. The trail fades after a few seconds.
