Give Presentations via AirPlay
The more business-focused among you may be looking at this photo-streaming technology as a
useful route to giving presentations in an office or when visiting clients. You'd be right.
If your presentation is made up of photos and screenshots, making an album of these images is
an easy way to create a quick presentation that you then stream from the Photos app to an Apple TV
or through a video-out cable that connects your iOS device to a projector or TV. (Apple sells such
cables with VGA and HDMI adapters.) Either way, you choose the output device via the AirPlay fea-
ture on your iOS device.
If you want to give traditional PowerPoint presentations, get the $10 Keynote app from Apple.
It's a great tool for creating professional slideshows — complete with transitions and animations —
on your iOS device, plus it opens Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple Keynote presentations created on a
computer.
Using the joys of AirPlay mirroring, you are not only able to stream slides from your computer or
iOS device to an Apple TV, but you can also control the slideshow and access additional controls and
information from your iOS device's screen or from an additional display attached to your computer.
Keynote provides a separate display for presenter notes that allows the presenter to view several ele-
ments including a timer and notes for each slide.
The free Keynote Remote app (shown in Figure 5-18) runs on any iOS device (though it's de-
signed for the iPhone and iPod Touch) and remote-controls Keynote on a Mac or other iOS device.
For example, if your presentation is on your iPad or Mac and you want to walk around the stage dur-
ing your presentation, you would use Keynote Remote on your iPhone or iPod Touch to move
through the slides and even read the presenter notes. Note that you need a Wi-Fi connection or
Bluetooth connection between the iOS device running Keynote Remote and the iOS device or Mac
that is running the presentation.
