Google Slides users now have a dead-simple way to control presentations remotely (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/2763168#present), provided there’s a Chromecast or Apple TV handy.</p><p>
With Chromecast (or any Android TV set-top box), users can now beam their presentations to the big screen from the Google Slides app for iOS and Android. As long as the phone and the Chromecast are on the same Wi-Fi network, a “Cast” icon will appear at the top of the Slides app when viewing a presentation.</p><p>
Apple TV users can also control presentations using AirPlay. Users must swipe up on the iPhone to show the quick settings menu, hit the AirPlay button, then turn on screen mirroring. After loading the presentation and hitting the play button, it’ll appear on the television, properly formatted to fit the TV screen.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2934927/google-slides-adds-remote-phone-controls-with-chromecast-and-airplay.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
