Alright, your gamma looks good. Now let's talk about actually presenting it.
You've got a few different ways to present, and a bunch of tools that make you look way more polished than you might actually feel. Let me show you.
Present Mode Basics
When you click Present, you get two options: Full screen or In tab.
Let me go full screen.
See how clean this is? No toolbars, no clutter—just your content. And look at the bottom—there's a thin progress bar that shows you exactly where you are in the deck. Super subtle, but really helpful.
Presenter View — The Secret Weapon
Okay, this is one of my favorite features. Presenter view shows you your speaker notes privately, while your audience only sees the slides.
So I can see exactly what I want to say, my talking points, reminders—whatever I put in my notes—but the audience just sees the polished presentation. It's like having a teleprompter.
And there's a timer here [point] that shows how long you've been presenting. Super useful if you're trying to stay under a specific time limit.
Adding Speaker Notes
Let me show you how to add notes.
This panel is where you add your notes. I can write out full sentences, bullet points, whatever helps me remember what to say. You can also generate speaker notes using AI — just click the Generate button.
You can make this panel bigger or smaller depending on how much detail you need. And there's this arrow at the bottom [show] that lets you jump to the next card and add notes there without leaving this view.
Super efficient if you're prepping a whole deck.
Spotlight Mode — Reveal Content Progressively
Alright, back to presenting.
This is Spotlight mode. Instead of showing the whole card at once, Spotlight reveals one content block at a time. Everything else stays blurred out until you're ready to show it.
See how it guides attention? Your audience isn't reading ahead—they're focused on exactly what you're talking about in that moment.
This is huge for keeping people engaged, especially in virtual presentations where it's easy to zone out.
You can also single-click any content block to spotlight it immediately. So if someone asks a question about something earlier on the card, you can jump right to it.
Quick Edit During Presentations
Now, let's say you're mid-presentation and you realize you made a typo, or you want to change something on the fly.
Boom. Quick edit mode.
I can fix the typo, adjust the wording, whatever—and then just click Done and keep presenting. The change is live immediately.
No need to exit your presentation, go back to edit mode, and start over. You just... fix it and keep going.
Follow Links — Present to Remote Audiences
One more thing. If you're presenting to people remotely—like over Zoom or in a hybrid meeting—you can share a follow link.
This generates a link that you send to your audience. When they open it, they can follow along on their own screens, and when you advance slides, their view updates automatically.
They can also click your avatar to sync back up if they get ahead or behind. It's like everyone has their own copy of your deck, but you're still controlling the flow.
This is amazing for remote presentations where screen sharing can get laggy or people can't see details clearly.
