Introduction
Live Deck is a live, two-way presentation player. The presenter drives the slides; the audience follows on their phones, answers quizzes, reacts and chats, without installing anything.
Unlike poll tools that sit beside the slides, the slides themselves are the live surface: the deck, the quiz and the presenter's gestures (ripple, focus, zoom) reach every phone in real time, and late or distracted attendees can browse back on their own.
How a talk works
- Write a deck. A deck is a JSON file at
decks/<id>/deck.json. The easiest way is to ask Claude with the bundled skill. You can also import slides you designed in PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, Canva or Figma. - Rehearse. Open
/preview/<id>to step through the deck alone. - Go live. Set a 4–8 digit PIN and open the console. The first slide shows a QR code; phones scan it and join with a first name or anonymously.
- Close. When you end the session you can download a summary. Then the data is deleted.
Two links
- Presenter link (private): the console, a projector screen and a phone remote. It carries a long random token and asks for your PIN.
- Audience link (public): shared as the QR on the first slide.
What the audience can do
| Feature | What happens |
|---|---|
| En vivo / Explorar | Follow the presenter in real time, or browse back through the slides already shown. |
| Quizzes | Live results or secret until reveal, an optional leaderboard, votes by tap or keyboard (A–F, 1–6). Anonymous attendees get a creative alias. |
| Pointer effects | Ripple, focus and zoom, mirrored on every screen. |
| Reactions and chat | Floating reactions among the audience; text and/or GIPHY sticker chat with moderation. The presenter opts in to see either. |
