Use Remote for Slides - a useful Chrome extension

Have you ever noticed the 'Present with Remote' button when you work in Google Slides? Well, I discovered today that the Remote for Slides Chrome extension works with that on your phone when you present using Googl Slides.  I have just installed the extension from the Chrome Web store.



What is Remote for Slides?

" Remote for Slides is a Chrome Extension and a Progressive Web App that allows you to control Google Slides and Ludus on any device, remotely, without the need for any extra hardware."

How do I use Remote for Slides with Google Slides?

Open a presentation in Google Slides.
On the top right, click the " Present with Remote" button.
Wait until the presentation fully loaded.
Click on the "Show ID & Start Remote" button to view the 6-digits code..
Open s.limhenry.xyz on another device and enter the code on the page.
You are ready to go!
