Class Overview

A presentation is a special kind of dialog whose purpose is to present content on a secondary display. A Presentation is associated with the target Display at creation time and configures its context and resource configuration according to the display's metrics.

Notably, the Context of a presentation is different from the context of its containing Activity . It is important to inflate the layout of a presentation and load other resources using the presentation's own context to ensure that assets of the correct size and density for the target display are loaded.

A presentation is automatically canceled (see cancel() ) when the display to which it is attached is removed. An activity should take care of pausing and resuming whatever content is playing within the presentation whenever the activity itself is paused or resumed.

Choosing a presentation display

Before showing a Presentation it's important to choose the Display on which it will appear. Choosing a presentation display is sometimes difficult because there may be multiple displays attached. Rather than trying to guess which display is best, an application should let the system choose a suitable presentation display.

There are two main ways to choose a Display .

Using the media router to choose a presentation display

The easiest way to choose a presentation display is to use the MediaRouter API. The media router service keeps track of which audio and video routes are available on the system. The media router sends notifications whenever routes are selected or unselected or when the preferred presentation display of a route changes. So an application can simply watch for these notifications and show or dismiss a presentation on the preferred presentation display automatically.

The preferred presentation display is the display that the media router recommends that the application should use if it wants to show content on the secondary display. Sometimes there may not be a preferred presentation display in which case the application should show its content locally without using a presentation.

Here's how to use the media router to create and show a presentation on the preferred presentation display using getPresentationDisplay() .

The following sample code from ApiDemos demonstrates how to use the media router to automatically switch between showing content in the main activity and showing the content in a presentation when a presentation display is available.

Using the display manager to choose a presentation display

Another way to choose a presentation display is to use the DisplayManager API directly. The display manager service provides functions to enumerate and describe all displays that are attached to the system including displays that may be used for presentations.

The display manager keeps track of all displays in the system. However, not all displays are appropriate for showing presentations. For example, if an activity attempted to show a presentation on the main display it might obscure its own content (it's like opening a dialog on top of your activity).

Here's how to identify suitable displays for showing presentations using getDisplays(String) and the DISPLAY_CATEGORY_PRESENTATION category.

The following sample code from ApiDemos demonstrates how to use the display manager to enumerate displays and show content on multiple presentation displays simultaneously.

  • for information on about live video routes and how to obtain the preferred presentation display for the current media route.
  • for information on how to enumerate displays and receive notifications when displays are added or removed.

Called by the system when the Display to which the presentation is attached has been removed. The system automatically calls cancel() to dismiss the presentation after sending this event.

A presentation is automatically canceled (see Dialog#cancel() ) when the display to which it is attached is removed.

An activity should take care of pausing and resuming whatever content is playing within the presentation whenever the activity itself is paused or resumed.

Not to be left behind, Apple launched its own presentation app called Keynote. As is pretty common with most Apple apps, Keynote is only available for iOS and macOS platform.

How to Make Your Presentation More Interactive With Google Slides' Presenter View

Want to make sure your presentation goes smoothly? Here's how Google Slides' Presenter view can help you in presenting more effectively.

When making a presentation, it would be helpful to have notes and other information readily available on the screen. However, if you add notes to your slideshow directly, your audience will see it.

So, how can you add notes that only you can see on Google Slides? Let’s explore the Speaker Notes feature in the browser and mobile apps.

1. How to Add Speaker Notes in Google Slides

Adding notes to each slide will help you have a smoother presentation. This feature ensures that you don’t have to use an external app, sticky notes, or a physical notebook, thus reducing distractions. But how do you add notes when you’re creating a presentation in Google Slides ? Find out below.

Using Google Slides for the Web

When using the browser version on your PC, you can add notes by clicking on the Click to add speaker notes subwindow at the bottom of the screen. After clicking on it, you’re free to type and add notes for that slide. Once you’re done, you only need to click away, and your notes are automatically saved.

When you move to another slide, you’ll notice that the speaker notes field is empty. You can click on this again to fill it with notes for this specific slide.

Using the Google Slides iOS and Android App

Adding speaker notes on the app version is a bit more complicated. First, open the Slides app and the presentation you want to work on. Tap on the slide you want to add notes to, then choose Edit slide .

Once the slide loads into the edit view, tap on the menu in the upper-right corner, then choose Show speaker notes . You’ll then see a Tap to add speaker notes subwindow appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it, and it will fill your screen. You are then free to type the notes you need.

Once you’ve finished adding your notes, tap on the Check Mark on the upper-left corner of the screen. You will return to the edit view with your notes shown at the bottom. To add notes to other slides, you need to swipe to the slide you want to edit, then repeat the process noted above.

2. Viewing Speaker Notes While Presenting

When you’re launching your presentation, you have to launch it under Presenter view to see the notes you added earlier. Here’s how you can open your presentation in the said view.

Opening Presenter View on Your Browser

When you’re ready to show your presentation, don’t click on the Slideshow button. Instead, click on the down-pointing arrow beside it to show a dropdown menu, then choose Presenter view .

Once the slideshow starts, you’ll see your presentation appear on the main tab; then, you’ll see a Presenter view window open. In the small window, you should see your notes appear under the Speaker Notes tab on the right side. You can also control your slideshow by clicking on the Next and Previous slide previews on the left side of the Presenter view window .

Opening Presenter View on the Mobile App

If you’re using the mobile app, you can only see your notes if you present at a Google Meet meeting. To do so, tap on the Play icon at the top menu. In the options that appear, choose Present to a meeting . You then have to input the Meeting ID of the Google Meet you’re presenting to. Once you have typed the correct code, tap on Done .

You’ll then join the Google Meet room in presentation mode. Your slide will appear as the main window, but you’ll see your notes on the lower part of your mobile device’s screen.

3. Asking Your Audience

One way you can interact with your audience is to answer their questions. However, this isn’t easy if you’re presenting to a large crowd. You may not be able to get to all the participants, or some might be too intimidated to ask a question publicly. So, to help you interact with your audience, you can launch Audience Tools .

How to Ask for Questions With the Browser

In the presenter view, click on the Audience Tools tab. Under it, you’ll see a Start New button. Click on it, and this flag will appear on top of your presentation:​​​​​

Ask a question at slides.app.goo.gl/[code] .

All your audience needs to do is type the link on their browser, and they’ll be redirected to a new tab where they can type their questions. There, they can type in their questions and submit them to you. They can even ask anonymous questions by clicking on the Ask anonymously check box .

When your audience sends their questions, you’ll receive them under the Audience Tools tab. If you find a particular question interesting, you can click on the Present button under the question, so you can flash it on your presentation. You’ll also see audience reactions to the question, with the number of positive or negative reactions the audience has to it.

If you want to move on and want to stop receiving questions, click on the On slider to switch it off.

How to Ask for Questions With a Mobile App

When you’re in the presenter view, tap on the Audience Q&A icon. It’s in the upper-right corner of your screen, the one before the right-most speaker notes icon. You must then tap Start New in the next view.

Once you’ve turned on Audience Q&A, your audience will see the Ask a question flag on top of your presentation. They then need to type that address on a browser to see the questions page.

You will see the questions they typed on your mobile device, and you can then tap on it to flash it on your presentation. If you want to move to the next slide, you must press the back button in the upper-left corner of the screen. Once you’re done answering questions, you can slide the toggle at the upper-right corner of the Audience Q&A view.

4. Draw on the Screen in Your Google Slides

One other nifty feature of Google Slides is that it allows you to draw on the presentation screen. However, you can only do it from a tablet, like an iPad. To use this feature, you must again launch your presentation under Present to a meeting .

Once you’re in the presenter view, tap on the pen icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, beside the Q&A icon. After it’s activated, you’re free to scribble on the active slide. However, once you change slides, all your on-screen annotations will disappear. To turn off the feature, you just need to tap on the pen icon again.

Create an Interactive Presentation With Google Slides

Google Slides provides many features that let you have an interactive presentation. You can become an effective speaker and pass your knowledge to others more efficiently with these tools. And if you’re having difficulty creating a design, why not check out these sources for Google Slides themes.

Hide system bars for immersive mode

Some content is best experienced in fullscreen without any indicators on the status bar or the navigation bar. Some examples are videos, games, image galleries, books, and presentation slides. This is referred to as immersive mode . This page shows how you can engage users more deeply with content in fullscreen.

Immersive mode helps users avoid accidental exits during a game and delivers an immersive experience for enjoying images, videos, and books. However, be mindful of how often users jump in and out of apps to check notifications, to conduct impromptu searches, or to take other actions. Because immersive mode causes users to lose easy access to system navigation, use immersive mode only when the benefit to the user experience goes beyond simply using extra screen space.

Use WindowInsetsControllerCompat.hide() to hide the system bars and WindowInsetsControllerCompat.show() to bring them back.

The following snippet shows an example of configuring a button to hide and show the system bars.

Optionally, you can specify the type of system bars to hide and determine their behavior when a user interacts with them.

Specify which system bars to hide

To specify the type of system bars to hide, pass one of the following parameters to WindowInsetsControllerCompat.hide() .

Use WindowInsetsCompat.Type.systemBars() to hide both system bars.

Use WindowInsetsCompat.Type.statusBars() to hide only the status bar.

Use WindowInsetsCompat.Type.navigationBars() to hide only the navigation bar.

Specify behavior of hidden system bars

Use WindowInsetsControllerCompat.setSystemBarsBehavior() to specify how hidden system bars behave when the user interacts with them.

Use WindowInsetsControllerCompat.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_BARS_BY_TOUCH to reveal hidden system bars on any user interactions on the corresponding display.

Use WindowInsetsControllerCompat.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_BARS_BY_SWIPE to reveal hidden system bars on any system gestures, such as swiping from the edge of the screen where the bar is hidden from.

Use WindowInsetsControllerCompat.BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE to temporarily reveal hidden system bars with system gestures, such as swiping from the edge of the screen where the bar is hidden from. These transient system bars overlay your app’s content, might have some degree of transparency, and are automatically hidden after a short timeout.

Picture-in-picture mode is finally coming to Google TV, but there’s a catch

Published on May 22, 2024

  • Google TV is finally adding support for picture-in-picture mode, which puts app content in a tiny window overlaying the screen, in Android 14 for TV.
  • Picture-in-picture mode has been supported on phones since Android 8.0 was released nearly seven years ago.
  • However, picture-in-picture on Google TV won’t be enabled for media content.

Most smartphone screens aren’t big enough to comfortably show two full apps side-by-side simultaneously, which can be a problem when you’re trying to do some work while watching an educational video or livestream. That’s where picture-in-picture (PiP) mode comes in. PiP was introduced in Android 8.0 and lets you watch a video in a tiny window overlaid on top of other apps. Though PiP has been part of the Android platform for nearly seven years now, it hasn’t been supported on some flavors of Android, particularly Google TV. That’s set to change with the upcoming Android 14 for TV update, though.

Google TV, if you aren’t aware, is based on Android TV OS, a version of AOSP designed for televisions. Since Android TV OS is based on AOSP, it has many of the same features. However, some base Android features are removed from Android TV or rather aren’t required to be included. Picture-in-picture is one example of an Android feature that isn’t required to be enabled on Android TV OS devices. Although a few Android TV devices, like the 2019 NVIDIA Shield TV Pro and the 2020 Sony X900H, support PiP, many of the best Android TV boxes don’t.

Android TV devices tend to have low amounts of RAM, which is a problem for multitasking features like PiP. As a result, Android TV makers usually just disable PiP in their software builds because it might not work well. While the decision to enable PiP on Android TV OS devices is left up to OEMs, they don’t even have the option to enable it on Google TV devices. That’s because, according to Google , PiP support was “not supported at all on Google TV prior to Android 13.” With the upcoming update to Android 14 for TV, however, Google TV devices will finally support picture-in-picture mode, though there are a few caveats.

Google TV picture in picture mode

The first caveat is that PiP mode might not be available on every Google TV device running Android 14 for TV. The reason for this is the same reason why the feature isn’t widely available on Android TV devices: memory. Google says that PiP is enabled “on select devices that meet [their] hardware compatibility criteria,” though they didn’t elaborate on what that criteria is. Developers of Android TV apps will need to query a package manager flag to see whether PiP support is enabled on a particular device.

The second caveat is that Google won’t allow media content to be shown in a picture-in-picture window, a major departure from how the feature is used on mobile devices. This means you won’t be able to, say, keep a YouTube video open while browsing for another video to play. So what will you be able to do with PiP on Google TV? Here are the four categories of content Google will approve for picture-in-picture mode on TV:

  • Communications use cases, such as video or voice calls.
  • Smart home integrations, such as connected doorbells or baby monitors.
  • Health use cases, such as fitness tracking or health monitoring.
  • Ticker use cases, such as live sports scores or news and stock tickers.

Apps for Android TV have to explicitly declare the categories that correspond to their intended usage of PiP mode. This declaration has to be added to the apps’ manifest files, giving Google an easy way to audit them.

While it’s a bit of a bummer that Google is restricting what apps can use PiP for on Android TV, it makes some sense. Google wants PiP activities to enhance or complement the experience of another fullscreen activity. Apps that want to support PiP mode on Android TV have to adhere to some basic TV app quality guidelines , a lot of which make sense. The guidelines include restrictions on apps not being allowed to display promo materials or ads using PiP windows, not being allowed to use excessive resources or take over audio focus when in PiP mode, and not being able to automatically enter PiP mode without explicit action from the user, among other things.

Because of the inconsistent availability of PiP on Android TV thus far, many apps built for the platform don’t even bother to support the mode. Hopefully, with the introduction of PiP as an officially supported Android TV platform feature, more apps will add support for it. Had Google not decided to skip Android 13 for TV last year, we could’ve had this feature a full year earlier, but it’s better late than never. Developers who are interested in adding PiP support in their Android TV apps should take a look at Google’s documentation, as there are a couple of PiP-related features (like the keep-clear APIs and the ability to set a title and subtitle) that are specific to TVs.

Hi Eli, Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Office Community.

As per the description the screen orientation is changing when you are trying to operate your mobile. It may be the issue with Auto- rotate option in your mobile. 

I suggest you to un-check the Auto-rotate option and verify the result.

1. Open your device settings.

2. Scroll to display.

3. Un-check Auto-rotate screen.

Try the suggestions and let me know the status of the issue for better assistance.

Thanks for your feedback.

Dear Shushma, 

This is NOT the issue.  The problem is with the PPT software for Android. 

When you rotate the phone to portrait mode (I NEED TO PUT IT IN PORTRAIT MODE!!!) the Power Point mode changes AUTOMATICALLY to Presenter Notes. 

I want the presentation to stay in Standard View Mode and disable the Presenter View Mode. 

PLEASE help ASAP on this. 

Thanks
