Shared Google Slides Control
A tool to enable remote shared control of Google Slides presentations.
The whole code is on https://github.com/LostInBrittany/share-google-slides-control
Overview
Shared Google Slides Control addresses a common pain point in remote presentations with multiple speakers: the challenge of slide deck control. Traditionally, only one speaker can manage the slide transitions, which can disrupt the flow of the presentation.
This project empowers presenters by allowing them to share control of a Google Slides deck with other speakers seamlessly.
How It Works
The solution involves a Greasemonkey userscript on the presenter's side that connects to a remote server via WebSocket. This setup facilitates the following features:
- QR Code and Link Generation: The userscript generates a QR code or a link that can be shared with co-presenters.
- Remote Control Interface: Co-presenters can use the provided link to access a user interface that allows them to control the slide deck in real-time.
Features
- Seamless Integration: Easily integrate with your existing Google Slides presentations.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Multiple presenters can control slide transitions without interruptions.
- Secure Connections: Utilizes WebSocket connections to ensure real-time, secure control sharing.
Installation
- Install Greasemonkey: Ensure you have the Greasemonkey extension installed in your browser.
- Add the Userscript: Add the provided Greasemonkey userscript to your browser.
- Run the Script: Open your Google Slides presentation, and the script will automatically display a QR code and link for sharing control.
Usage
- Presenter Setup: The main presenter installs the userscript and initiates the presentation.
- Share Control: The presenter shares the generated QR code or link with co-presenters.
- Co-presenters Control: Co-presenters access the control interface through the shared link and can control slide transitions in real-time.
