What is Keynote Live? Like GoToWebinar?

I was looking through the new iWork pages after today's keynote presentation, and under the features for the upcoming new version of Keynote was something called Keynote Live

I can't seem to find anything about this online. Am I missing something, or is this a new GoToWebinar-like competitor? If you have any information, I'd be grateful if you shared it. Thank you!

I used Keynote Live for my presentation to a very large audience in a large room. I was concerned that the AV Projector and screen would not be sufficient and I noticed most in the room (students and staff) had laptops. I used Keynote Live and then copied the long URL to bit.ly to get a short URL. I posted that short URL on the projector screen and within a couple of minutes everyone could see my Keynote slides as I was displaying. Very very useful. Great feature and will use this again and again. It helps to prepare with a short URL from bit.ly or tinyurl.com beforehand.

It allows you to broadcast your screen to a number of other screens. Sorry I don't recall where, but on Apple's site it said you can broadcast to 100 people on the internet and up to 35 people on a local network. It is easy to test for yourself.


You send out invitations via text, email or other methods. Your presentation is loaded to your iCloud account. You play the presentation from either macOS or iOS. Everyone sees the same screen you are looking at.


It is a great start. It is impressive that you can broadcast to so many people without a fee. There are some shortcomings. There is no VOIP so if you want to narrate to a remote location you'll need some other way to communicate in parallel. There is no "laser pointer" or annotation method.
