Introduction
Sidekick allows presenters to seamlessly control their own slides, without having to rely on someone else to know when you advance to the next slide.
Streamlining Slide Transitions in Sidekick
1. Setting Up for Presentation
Open your presentation in Sidekick and prepare it for display.
2. Using Your Own Device for Control
Open Google Chrome on your smartphone or tablet.
Navigate to https://app.sidekick.tv.
Select your ongoing presentation from the Dashboard.
3. Live Slide Control
Once in the presentation mode on your device, you’ll see the current slide and navigation arrows.
You can advance or reverse slides in real time, syncing perfectly with your presentation.
Real-Time Syncing with Secondary Controller
If someone else is advancing the slides from another device or computer, this change will be reflected on your device immediately.
This ensures that you are always aware of the slide being displayed, even if you are unable to see your audience’s screen.
Flexibility in Slide Management
You can choose to be the primary slide controller or allow someone else to control the presentation while using your device as a backup.
If a slide isn’t advanced at the right time, you can discreetly correct it without drawing attention or causing embarrassment.
