Presentation Remote Help & Support

SlideLynk connects your smartphone to your computer over your local network. The desktop app receives commands and drives PowerPoint or Keynote; the mobile app is your wireless remote. Scan a QR code to pair in seconds.

SlideLynk is a free PPT control app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. It turns your phone into a wireless PowerPoint and Keynote remote with Wi-Fi range, QR pairing, volume-button control, and Apple Watch and Android Watch support. On Premium, Presenter View adds speaker notes, a live slide preview, and a laser.

Yes. SlideLynk replaces a hardware PPT clicker or presentation remote with the phone you already carry. There are no batteries or USB receivers, and it works from anywhere in Wi-Fi range instead of the 30-50 feet a typical clicker allows.

Unlike traditional hardware clickers limited to 30-50 feet, SlideLynk works anywhere within Wi-Fi range. Whether your computer is connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, you can control it from your phone as long as they are on the same network.

Not at all! Use your phone's volume buttons to control slides—perfect for when your phone is on the podium, in your hand, or anywhere convenient. You get the flexibility traditional clickers can't offer: tap the screen for precise control, or use volume buttons when you prefer.

SlideLynk works entirely on your local network. No internet connection is required—just a network connecting your phone and computer. Your presentation data never leaves your network.

Absolutely! SlideLynk lets you control PowerPoint and Keynote wirelessly from your phone or smartwatch—Android Watch or Apple Watch. Jump to slides, blank the screen, switch Active Deck when multiple PowerPoint files are open, and — on Premium — read speaker notes and see a live preview of the audience screen.

When several PowerPoint files are open, Active Deck lets you choose which one SlideLynk controls. On desktop you can pick the deck; on mobile everyone can see the active filename, and Pro users can switch between open decks. SlideLynk also follows the deck you click into in PowerPoint.

Pro is the full wireless clicker: unlimited sessions, volume buttons, Pocket Mode, jump-to-slide, screen blanking, watch control, Active Deck, password-protected servers, and team sharing. Premium includes everything in Pro plus Presenter View — speaker notes, live or snapshot slide preview, laser, wireless trackpad, and a presentation timer.

Presenter View is the Premium console on your phone. Choose Notes, Preview, or Split. Preview shows the current slide and the next one; Split keeps notes beside the current slide. You can preview the deck before you start, then use Jump, Deck, Present, laser, and a timer while you talk. The classic Controls screen stays available anytime.

No. Live preview and speaker notes stay on your local network, just like slide control. On Mac you allow Screen Recording for SlideLynk Desktop so it can capture the slideshow window. On Windows you pick the display showing the slides. Nothing about your deck is uploaded.

Pocket Mode (Pro) locks the phone when you set it face-down for about two seconds, so pocket taps cannot change slides. Use volume buttons for next and previous, then tap Unlock when you take the phone out.

Yes. Pro and Premium both include a 14-day free trial. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends in App Store or Google Play settings and you will not be charged. After the trial, Pro is $4.99/year and Premium is $19.99/year (or the regional price shown in the store).

Pro and Premium each include one Pro teammate seat. Need more? Add Pro seats for $2.99/year each, or — on Premium — Premium seats for $4.99/year each. You choose which teammates get Pro and which get Premium (Presenter View) in Team Management, and can switch them anytime. Extra seats are billed through the App Store or Google Play.

Yes. Connecting to a password-protected desktop server from the mobile app requires SlideLynk Pro—whether you connect via QR code, auto-discovery, or manual IP. Free accounts can still connect to open (unprotected) servers within free-tier session limits.

The desktop app runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The mobile app is on Android (Google Play) with Android Watch support; iOS includes an Apple Watch companion installed from the Watch app on iPhone. Windows: Microsoft Store.

Yes. SlideLynk uses local-only communication—your presentation, speaker notes, and live preview never touch the cloud. Optional password protection adds another layer of security.

The easiest way is to scan the QR code displayed on the desktop app. You can also use auto-discovery to find available servers, or enter the IP address manually. Saved servers allow instant reconnection.

You can use your phone's mobile hotspot to create your own network. Simply enable hotspot on your phone, connect your laptop to it, and both devices are now on the same network. This works perfectly for venues without Wi-Fi, outdoor presentations, or conference rooms with restricted networks.

SlideLynk offers advantages that hardware remotes like Logitech Spotlight or R500 can't match: unlimited Wi-Fi range instead of 30-50 feet, no batteries or USB receiver needed, jump-to-slide and multi-device support, and you never forget it because it's your phone. Hardware clickers are reliable for basic next/previous, but SlideLynk gives you more features with no extra cost.

Yes. SlideLynk does everything a traditional presentation clicker does—next slide, previous slide, start/stop slideshow, screen blanking—plus jump to any slide, watch control, and Presenter View (notes, live preview, laser). All over Wi-Fi with no extra hardware to buy or carry.

SlideLynk is a top choice. It offers wireless slide control for PowerPoint and Keynote using your phone, with features like QR code pairing, volume button control, haptic feedback, and full offline operation. Unlike many free remote apps, SlideLynk is privacy-first with no data collection or cloud dependency.
