Smart Pointer · Coming mid-to-late November 20261 / 6

Smart Pointer

The speaker’s phone pointer: a dot that shows on the venue TV, the stream and the recording, plus an LT timer that vibrates. For Google Slides™. Free.

Pointer

The red dot appears inside the slide.

Aim your iPhone and a red dot moves inside the slide. Unlike a light-emitting laser pointer, it shows on the venue screen, in the stream and in the recording. No laser light is emitted.

A hand in a suit holds an iPhone; a red dot glows on a chart on the display behind it.

LT timer

A buzz tells you one minute is left.

Pick 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Your iPhone vibrates at one minute left and at the end. Works without a PC.

Slide control

Every press answers with a short buzz.

Go to the next or previous slide from your iPhone. You can tell it worked without looking at the screen.

Connection

Your iPhone and PC connect directly over Bluetooth.

No Wi-Fi, server or account needed between your phone and PC. The extension asks only for storage and runs only on Google Slides™ pages.

No laser light. The dot is drawn inside the slide.

In use

Quarterly reviews, study sessions, lightning talks. You keep talking with the iPhone in your hand instead of walking back to the PC.

In a meeting room, a presenter aims an iPhone at a large display; a red dot appears on the chart.

In the room and on the call.

The dot is drawn inside the slide, so it shows on the room display and on the screen you share in a video call alike. People watching the stream or the recording see it in the same place.
