Common questions about PresentSync

Can I use my phone as a slide remote or presentation clicker?

Yes. With PresentSync your phone becomes a slide remote: tap Prev or Next to change slides and swipe to move the cursor on your computer screen. You can also double-tap to highlight a spot and long-press to draw a line that fades after a few seconds.

How do I control PowerPoint or Google Slides from my phone?

Install the PresentSync phone app and the PresentSync desktop app on your Windows PC or Mac, approve the desktop sign-in by scanning its QR code, and start a meeting. Then start your slideshow on the computer and tap Next or Prev on your phone to change slides; swipe on the phone to move the cursor on your computer screen.

Which presentation software does PresentSync work with?

PresentSync sends the same slide keys as a keyboard, so it works with slideshow software that advances with the keyboard, such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote on a Mac, WPS Office and PDF presentations. The cursor and lines are drawn on the computer screen; it is not a laser pointer.

Do I need a Bluetooth or USB presentation clicker?

No. Your phone connects to your computer over the same local network (the same Wi-Fi or wired network), so there is no USB receiver to plug in and no Bluetooth pairing. Install the desktop app once, then change slides with the phone you already carry.

What do I need to use PresentSync?

You need the PresentSync phone app (Android or iOS), the PresentSync desktop app on a Windows computer or a Mac with macOS 13 or later, and a PresentSync account to host. The phone and the host computer must be on the same local network.

Does PresentSync work on a Mac?

Yes. The desktop app runs on macOS 13 or later as a Universal ZIP for Apple silicon and Intel, notarized by Apple. A Windows installer (Windows 10 64-bit or later) is also on the download page.

Does PresentSync work with an iPhone?

Yes. The PresentSync phone app is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, with the same controls: cursor, double-tap highlight, long-press drawing and Prev/Next slides. You can also subscribe in the iPhone app.

Can several people point at the same presentation?

Yes. Each participant signs in on their phone and scans the meeting QR code, and every participant has their own cursor color. Free and Personal allow up to 5 connected devices per meeting, Pro up to 10.

Is PresentSync free?

Yes, with limits. Your first hosted meeting starts a 7-day trial; after it ends you keep the free tier (5 devices, 1 meeting, 30 minutes of hosting per day). Personal ($5.99 a month or $49.99 a year) removes the daily time limit, and Pro ($11.99 a month or $99.99 a year) allows 10 devices and 2 meetings. Subscribe in the phone app through the App Store or Google Play; the prices are Google Play USD reference prices, and the store shows the final price.

Does PresentSync mirror my computer screen to my phone?

No. The phone works as a remote, not a second screen: swipe to move the cursor on your computer screen and tap the buttons to change slides. The presentation stays on your computer screen, or on the projector or display connected to it.

Do the phone and computer need the same Wi-Fi?

Yes. Meeting control requires the phone and the host computer to be on the same local network (same Wi-Fi or same LAN). If they do not connect, check that the computer’s firewall allows PresentSync and try turning off any VPN or proxy on the phone.
