Present mode for assets in Showpad

Effortlessly present slide decks, files, and Collections in the Showpad Web App, with convenient access to your speaker notes and presentation controls. The presenter window ensures you stay organized and deliver pitches confidently. When you enter present mode, your controls and notes open in a separate browser window, allowing you to share your Showpad content in one tab during virtual meetings while keeping your notes private in another. Present through an engaging Experience, or a tailored Collection in one go.

Note: You can also view some Microsoft PPTX in a native Microsoft viewer within Showpad and personalize the content. Learn more about sharing natively and personalizing presentations here.
