Reports And Exports

For Hosts

Create And Edit A Presentation

The dashboard and editor are where hosts prepare the room experience.

Create a blank presentation or duplicate an existing one.

Use the smart builder to generate a session from audience, objective, tone, and output.

Start from templates such as Team Retro Battle, Classroom Review Game, or Town Hall Prioritization.

Edit slide questions, descriptions, options, timers, scoring, point budgets, and correct answers.

Launch in Live, Own Pace, Contest, or Power Game mode.

Host checklist

  1. Confirm the slide order.
  2. Preview the room code and join link.
  3. Pick the start mode from the dashboard.
  4. Begin presenting from the host screen.
  5. Export results when the session ends.
Presenter Screen

Professional Host Controls

The presenter view keeps the live room moving while still giving the host practical controls for late arrivals, navigation, and moderation.

QR Display Modes

Use Off, Left, Right, Big L, or Big R from the presenter toolbar. Small QR codes stay subtle; big sidebar QR codes help late participants join quickly.

Go To Any Slide

Use the Go to selector in the presenter footer to jump directly to a slide without repeated next or previous clicks.

Own Pace Mode

Choose Own Pace when participants should move through the session on their own device instead of following the host slide by slide.

Live Moderation

Keep Q&A open, tag questions, hide or pin items, and mark questions answered while the room is still responding.

Late participantsTurn on Big L or Big R for a larger QR sidebar, then return to a small QR when the room settles.
Long decksUse Go to slide for workshops, Q&A callbacks, and skipped sections.
Public screensThe small QR dock ignores pointer events, so it does not block presenter controls.
