Advancing PowerPoint slides remotely is an efficient way to deliver a seamless presentation without being glued to your laptop or computer. There are several methods to achieve this:
1. Use a Wireless Presenter Remote
The first and most common method is using a wireless presenter remote. These devices are specifically designed for this purpose and often come with additional features such as a built-in laser pointer. To use one, you simply need to connect the remote to your computer via USB or Bluetooth, depending on the model, and it should be ready to control your PowerPoint presentation.
2. Use PowerPoint’s Built-in Presenter View
PowerPoint’s Presenter View is another great tool for controlling your slides remotely. It offers a view of your PowerPoint presentation with current slide, next slide, speaker notes, and a timer on your computer, while the audience only sees your presentation on the big screen. To use this feature, you need to have two monitors or a projector connected to your computer. Once the setup is correct, simply go to the Slide Show tab in PowerPoint and select “Presenter View.”
3. Use Mobile Apps
There are also mobile apps available that allow you to control your PowerPoint slides remotely. For instance, PowerPoint has its own official remote control app known as Office Remote. After downloading the app on your mobile device, follow the instructions to connect it to your computer. Once connected, you can navigate through your slides, view your speaker notes, and control an on-screen laser pointer.
Remember, the best method for you depends on your specific needs and the resources available to you. Experiment with different methods to find the one that suits you best.
