Remote controllers

We haven’t created Presenter with a specific setup or tools in mind, but we knew that many of you will use it with remote controllers. You can use any kind of devices compatible with your hardware to switch slides. We plan to release a companion app in the future to help those who don’t have that kind of device, or prefer using their phone as a controller.

Adapting your remote controller

Remote controller device generally uses → for the next slide. While this default setting is fine for the majority, some would like to modify it, for example by switching speaker notes instead of slides. You will be able to adjust this in our application in progress, but with a regular remote controller you will have to twist your device a bit either by:

Have an “iA Presenter” mode that uses → for next speaker note
Remap the keys of your remote controller (you can find online tutorials to remap devices, depending on the device you use)

The remote makes it scroll down the outline window instead of the next line.

This should be fixed by changing the settings in: Settings → Presentation → Navigation: Swap arrow keys In case this has no effect, it is always a good idea to check the documentation of the remote control itself, which might indicates different setups for different softwares.
