Interrupt me and ask questions or clarifications.

I’m here to talk with you now, not to these slides.

Control tips

My preferred (FOSS) flavor of slidedecks, revealjs, has intuitive but none the less unconventional PowerPoint presentation controls:

  • Slides dynamically resize to use the entirety of the browser window, but you can still fullscreen with F.
    • This slide has a red border indicating the content extent.
  • Slide navigation is mode dependent. If there are vertical slides, press space, N, or the down arrow key, not the right arrow to advance slides
  • Press M to open to the menu, Press O for the slide deck overview, Press B to black out the presentation screen, Press S for a speaker view.
  • You can use the chalkboard to freemouse/touchpad draw.
  • Slides should render as designed1 but you can press Alt/Opt + click on the slide to zoom in. Increase text size with Alt/Opt + +, Alt/Opt + - to decrease, and Alt/Opt + 0 reset to the default scale.
  • Press C to declare victory and head home.2
