A windowed play session mode in Keynote

Hi Guys,

The COVID 19 virus, Power Point and Keynote.

I know. It seems really strange to get those words together. But that’s what I need to ask.

Because of the COVID 19 virus our Universities will be closed from next Monday - the 16th — (this is Portugal, Europe).

Our theoretical classes will be online with the Zoom package and I have some Keynote slides to present. I am using Keynote for for quite some time now.

However, now I think I’ll need Power Point again because of he Keynote/Zoom pair.

In Keynote when one presses Play one gets the whole screen with the presentation. So I will be loosing all the Zoom little things I need for an interactive class.

With Power Point I can choose to play my slides (Show Type) in a mode called “Browsed by an individual (window)” that allows me to control the size of this window and so keeping space for The Participants; chat and so on in little windows belonging to Zoom.

My question: is there some kind of “Browsed by an individual (window)” mode in Keynote that I am missing and not capable of finding?

My request to Apple (I know that they don’t come here but maybe I am lucky): could you add such a possibility to Keynote in the "near futurre" :-)?

Thank you all

've found two solutions for Keynote presentations in Zoom - sounds like several folks have posted here about wanting to combine Keynote with Zoom. In the first, you can show your slides. In the second solution below, you can run your Keynote presentation inside Zoom.

1) If you have Keynote versions up through 10.0, you can't run Keynote in Zoom but you can show slides. The easiest solution I've found is to export my Keynote to PDF and, when doing so, selecting the "builds" option. Now I can show my entire presentation within Zoom by doing a share screen with the PDF. While this does lose the transitions and animations, you can show your full presentation, bullet by bullet in the sequence you've set up.

2) With version 10.1 of Keynote, Apple has now made it possible to run Keynote presentations within Zoom! Hooray! This runs the presentation in all its glory, with every beautiful slide transition, animation, and video - you're showing the full Keynote experience within Zoom.

Launch Keynote.
In Keynote's Play menu, select "Play Slideshow in Window."
- I resize the window to remove all the black areas around my presentation.
Now open up Zoom.
Select "Share Screen"
- Make sure to click the "Optimize Screen Share for Video Clip" if you have videos and animations in your Keynote 10.1 file, and then
Click the blue "Share" button.

Voila! You're in business.
