Bring PowerPoint slides into Shows and mirror them
Coordinate a deck, private notes, and the audience screen.
A prepared presentation, Shows Media Library, and an audience display connection.
Document preview supports PDF, PowerPoint, and Keynote. A Deck cue is a multi-page PDF: GO moves through pages and then continues to the next cue; Back returns to the preceding page.

Each presentation build is represented by an intentional PDF page.

All steps, in writing
Media
Export PowerPoint or Keynote to PDF with one build per page when you want cue-by-cue playback. Import the PDF into Shows → Media Library and review its page order.
Expected: Each presentation build is represented by an intentional PDF page.
Cue type
Create a Deck cue and select the imported PDF. A general document preview can open presentation files, but the Deck cue expects the PDF workflow.
Expected: The cue points to the correct multi-page deck.
Presenter notes
Add the private note or teleprompter content needed for the cue. Rehearse the glasses regions for cue, clock, slides, notes, and captions.
Expected: The performer sees useful private context without sending it to the audience.
Connect audience display
Open Shows → Mirror and pair the audience viewer using its pairing code. Confirm the audience output and projector/display route during pre-show.
Expected: The audience screen shows the intended program output.
GO
Press GO to advance a deck page and Back to return. On the last page, the next GO continues to the next cue. Check fit, fill, or stretch behavior for the media.
Expected: The slide order and framing match your rehearsal.
Panic
Rehearse stopping output and recovery before the show. Recheck the active cue, audio route, and mirror after an interruption.
Expected: You know how to restore a deliberate state for both wearer and audience.
If something differs
- For dependable page control, use a PDF Deck cue rather than relying on document-preview paging.
- Private glasses output and audience output are separate views; inspect both.
- Fit preserves the whole image; Fill crops, and Stretch can distort aspect ratio.
