Create an account, upload your PowerPoint, and you're presenting in minutes. It processes in about a minute; then you make presenter links, share them with whoever's driving, and screenshare to your room or call. Your audience sees exactly what they would from PowerPoint.

Yep. NextSlide runs on PowerPoint files, and Keynote, Google Slides, and Canva all export to PowerPoint, so your presentation works too. Build it anywhere, present it here.

Nothing to install. It's all in the browser, on any device - just upload and share a link.

NextSlide can work with OBS, Wirecast, and vMix, with custom integrations to pull just the slides or notes. You can also advance the slides with other software or hardware, like a Stream Deck, via API.

See the integrations guide

Yes. You can grab API links per presentation to control the presentation via external software or hardware.

As many as you like. Share a presenter link with anyone and they can drive the slides right alongside you, no limit.

Nope! Just one account needed - create and share links with anyone who needs them, with no additional per-device costs.

Anyone logged in or holding a presenter link can advance the slides. Hand off as often as you want, no screen-sharing gymnastics.

Built for it. Send presenter links to your remote folks, plug a physical clicker into the in-room computer running NextSlide, and everyone drives the same presentation in sync.

Anywhere with internet. We've had presenters on the same talk advancing slides from different continents without a hitch.

Venue wifi is rough, we get it. Your whole presentation loads before you start, so the only thing crossing the network mid-event is a tiny advance signal. Almost no bandwidth needed.

You stay in control. Password-protect any presentation, and revoke a share link the moment you want to cut off access.

Not currently. Slides come through as crisp static images; animations, builds, and embedded video aren't supported yet, but we're working on it.

Run the whole thing free: the full flow with up to 10 slides and a watermark. When a real event comes up, an Event Pass ($15, one-time) or Pro ($129/yr) clears the cap and the watermark.

Yes. Open your NextSlide presenter link in Safari or any browser on your iPhone and tap the arrows to advance your slides. There's no app to install.

Yes. Any Android phone or tablet with a browser works the same way - open the link and tap to advance.

Yes. Upload your PowerPoint presentation to NextSlide and advance it from your phone, from anywhere with an internet connection.

Yes - export your Google Slides or Canva presentation to PowerPoint, upload it, and drive it from your phone like any other presentation.

Yes. An iPad makes a great handheld confidence monitor - showing the current slide, next slide, or your notes - while still letting you advance the presentation.

No. NextSlide runs entirely in the browser. There's nothing to install, and no dongle or Bluetooth pairing.

As far as you like. The signal travels over the internet rather than Bluetooth, so you can present from across the room, the building, or another country.

Yes. Share the presenter link with everyone presenting and they each drive the presentation from their own phone, with all screens staying in sync.

For most presenters, the best clicker is their own phone. A NextSlide link turns any phone into a clicker that works from anywhere, shows your speaker notes, and lets several presenters share control from wherever they are. A physical remote is one device, in one room, within range of its receiver - still fine if you only ever present in the room, next to your laptop.

For remote or multi-presenter events, yes - a phone works from anywhere and needs no dongle or batteries. For solo, in-room, offline presenting, a simple RF clicker is hard to beat for sheer simplicity.

With NextSlide, no - it runs in the browser. Bluetooth apps like PPTControl, and host-relay tools like Cliqer or Internet Clicker, need a desktop app - or, for Internet Clicker, a presentation plugin - running on the computer running your presentation.

A physical clicker is one remote per presenter, all in the room within range of the receiver, and a phone app like PPTControl connects one phone to one computer - neither lists a shared-control mode. Internet clickers like NextSlide let everyone with the link share control and advance the presentation in turn.

An internet clicker advances your slides over the internet instead of over Bluetooth or RF, so presenters can drive the presentation from anywhere. NextSlide goes a step further by hosting the presentation itself, so there's no presentation software to install or keep running on a host computer.

PPTControl is a Bluetooth remote: it pairs your phone or Apple Watch to a computer in the same room and needs its desktop app running alongside your presentation. NextSlide is hostless and internet-based - you upload your presentation, share a link, and anyone can drive it from anywhere, with nothing to install.

If you present solo, in the room, and want a free offline remote, PPTControl is excellent. If you need remote or multiple presenters, audience and confidence views, or no software on the presenting computer, NextSlide is the better fit.

No - NextSlide works over the internet, so there's no range limit and no pairing. The tradeoff is that NextSlide needs a connection, while PPTControl can run fully offline.

Both let multiple presenters control a presentation over the internet. The difference is architecture: Cliqer installs a desktop app that relays clicks to your presentation software running on a host computer, so animations play live. NextSlide hosts the presentation itself - nothing to install, no host machine - and converts slides to images.

If you need your deck to run in its original software - vMix, Prezi, or PowerPoint with its own effects - Cliqer's live-app approach is strong. If you'd rather skip installs and host machines, want built-in audience and confidence views, and prefer one-time or annual pricing over a subscription, NextSlide fits better.

Cliqer is a subscription or per-host license, billed in GBP. NextSlide is a one-time $15 Event Pass or $129/year, in USD, with no per-host licensing.

Internet Clicker runs a desktop client - or a presentation plugin - on the computer running your presentation, and lets remote presenters control it from a browser; it is built for virtual-event teams. NextSlide hosts the presentation in the cloud, so there's nothing to install on the presenting machine, and anyone with the link can drive it.

For broadcast-grade virtual-event production - cueing graphics operators, presenter messaging, custom layouts - Internet Clicker is purpose-built. For self-serve presenting with no install, built-in audience and confidence views, and simpler pricing, NextSlide is the lighter, faster option.

No. Internet Clicker needs its desktop client (Windows or macOS) or a PowerPoint / Google Slides plugin running on the host machine. NextSlide runs entirely in the browser - upload the presentation once and share a link.

Both let presenters control slides over the internet. OctoCue is a show-control system that relays clicks to PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides running on a show machine, with presenters using its dedicated iOS and Android apps. NextSlide hosts your presentation in the cloud - upload it, share a link, and anyone drives it from any browser, with nothing to install and no show machine to run.

For broadcast-grade show control - backup-machine sync, and custom buttons that send OSC, TCP or UDP commands to tools like vMix, OBS or Companion - OctoCue is purpose-built. For self-serve presenting with no app, no show machine, and built-in audience and confidence views, NextSlide is the simpler, faster option.

OctoCue calls its dedicated presenter app the best option, with a browser clicker as the alternative - and its custom buttons work only in that browser clicker. With NextSlide there's no app at all - presenters open a link in any browser and tap to advance.

Both give multiple presenters internet control of one presentation. SlidesClicker installs a Windows or Mac app on the computer running your slides and relays clicks to it. NextSlide hosts the presentation itself, so there's nothing to install and no host machine to keep running.

If you need your slides to run live in their original software on a host machine - for live animations or a specific app - SlidesClicker's install-and-relay approach fits. If you'd rather skip installs and host machines and present from any browser with built-in audience and confidence views, NextSlide is the lighter option.

No. SlidesClicker requires its Windows or Mac app on the presenting computer. NextSlide runs entirely in the browser - upload your presentation once and share a link.
