I am using my ipad for a presentation at church and would like to pause a video and restart without moving to next slide. Is it possible?

The only way to pause and play video on Keynote for iPad is to use a Bluetooth keyboard, there are no inbuilt controls in Keynote to do this.


Use the following keys on the keyboard:

  • K to pause video
  • K again to play video
  • J to rewind
  • L to fast forward
  • N to go to next slide
  • P go to previous slide


You can use an Apple Magic Keyboard from an iMac or any make of Bluetooth keyboard. We buy very cheap reliable keyboards in our local supermarket for £12 upwards.
