PresentSyncHow it works
- The host runs the PresentSync desktop app on the Windows PC or Mac that shows the presentation and starts a meeting.
- Each person installs the PresentSync phone app, signs in and scans the meeting QR code. Phones must be on the same Wi-Fi as the computer.
- Everyone gets their own pointer color. Swipe to point, double-tap to highlight, long-press to draw a line that fades after a few seconds.
Where it helps
- Classrooms and training: students or trainees point at the answer on the projector from their seats.
- Design, data and code reviews: each reviewer points at the part they are talking about, in their own color.
- Panels and Q&A: several speakers share one deck without handing over a clicker.
- Team meetings on a TV or LED screen, where a laser dot is hard to see.

Do the other people need to pay?
No. Joining a meeting and controlling the presentation are free; a plan is only for hosting.
