Navigating playlists and presentation media

How to advance through your playlist and jump between presentation media

SlideDog only has a few keyboard shortcuts. In general you press "PgDn" or "Right Arrow" to go to the next slide or item in the playlist and "ESC" to unload the presentation files and exit the show. Remember that you can still use the file viewers keyboard shortcuts when you are playing the files in SlideDog.

Remember that you can still use the file viewers keyboard shortcuts when you are playing the files in SlideDog. For instance, PowerPoints keyboard shortcuts will also work in SlideDog.

You can use all types of wireless presenter remotes that map their keypresses to the "PgDn" and "PgUp" buttons (which almost all do by default), such as the Logitech Wireless Presenter. So, if your remote works with PowerPoint and Adobe Reader slide shows (viewed outside of SlideDog), it will work with SlideDog.

Our SlideDog companion app for iOS and Android allows you to remote control SlideDog. You can also control your PC running SlideDog directly from https://live.slidedog.com, if you can't or don't want to to download an app. The web version offers much of the same functionality as the iOS and Android apps.

Get the SlideDog app on Google Play and the Apple AppStore

Make sure to enable the Remote feature in the SlideDog application by clicking the mobile phone toggle button in the top-right corner of the SlideDog PC application.

Then enter the channel and secret pin/password on your phone or web browser (if using https://live.slidedog.com).
