Share control during a presentation

« To Share a presentation: Overview

In a Riverside studio, two participants can control a shared presentation at the same time. This way, you can speak about the content being presented while someone else advances the slides from their computer.

Step by step

1. Using a computer, log in to your Riverside account and join a studio.
   Or join a Studio as an invited producer or guest.
2. At the bottom of the screen, click Share to upload a presentation.
3. Click the presentation's thumbnail.
   The presentation's first slide expands to be the largest frame in the studio.
4. In the top-right corner of the presentation frame, click the + plus icon.
5. Click Give control.
6. On the Switch controller menu, click a participant to add them as the other slide controller.
   

   NOTE:
   Participants must join from a desktop browser to receive control.

7. To change who else has control, click the three dots menu […], choose  Switch controller, then select another participant.
   

Good to know

• The presentation stops if both the person who uploaded it and the current slide controller leave the call.
• If someone is sharing their screen, rather than a presentation deck file as above, they are the only person who can control it.
• Presenter control can only be shared with participants joining from a computer browser, not from the Mac app or mobile.
