Using your phone as a clicker with Live Mode

Article by David Marin
Last update: Jan 15, 2025

With Live Mode, you can control the slides directly from your mobile device when presenting. To do this you will need:

  1. A mobile device logged into your Slidebean account (the Remote).
  2. A desktop or tablet connected that might be connected to a TV or Projector (the Display).
  3. An internet connection on both devices (they do not need to be on the same Wi-Fi).

Here's how to do it:  

  1. Access your Slidebean account on your mobile device, and load the presentation.
  2. Load the same presentation URL on the desktop or tablet. It's not necessary for you to be logged into this device unless the presentation privacy settings require so.  
  3. Enable Live Mode on your mobile device. Make sure that you set it to Turn on and let anyone broadcast, otherwise your slides may fall out of sync.

After following these steps, when you swipe your slides on your mobile device, they will automatically sync with the desktop/tablet that you are using as a Display.
