Hello dgarlasu,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

The feature you are looking for, called Keynote Remote, can only be used between either multiple iOS devices, or with a Mac. The article below explains more about Keynote Remote.

HI Alex,

Here are my comments:

1. Definitely the Remote feature works. It is true that when I've bought Apple TV a few days ago I've wished to use its remote for the purpose. Instead I've learned that iPhone should be used as a remote, which works and it's fine.

2. The nice add-on of interactive graphics (watermark, red dot) are only usable if you mirror Keynote on the iOS device to Apple TV.

3. The conclusion is that when using all three devices: iPad, iPhone and Apple TV, I can make a real nice interactive presentations.

Thanks,

dgarlasu
