Controlling Slides Shared by Another Participant
A presenter in a meeting or webinar can give slide control to other participants, so that others can control the progression of slides for the presenter or when they are presenting their portion of the presentation. This avoids the need to ask the presenter to change the slide when they are ready, interrupting the flow of the meeting and presentation. Slide control can be given to multiple participants in a meeting, or multiple panelists in a webinar. Available in Microsoft PowerPoint, Office 365 PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote. Begin sharing your slides in normal mode. Then, change your Slide Show Share Type settings to share in full screen presentation mode. Now, share your slides in presentation Mode.
Enable the setting in your account; go to Settings > Meeting > In Meeting (Basic) > Slide Control
Assign Slide Control

- Begin sharing a Keynote, PowerPoint, or Google Slides presentation.
- On the sharing toolbar, click Slide Control.
Note: This option will only be available when you are in presentation mode. - Select one or more participants you wish to give slide control.
The slide control button will update with number of participants with slide control next to the icon.
After you’ve assigned slide control to a participant, they will retain slide control as long as you continue sharing. The slide controls will disappear if you exit presentation mode, but they will re-appear when you begin presenting again. You can revoke an individual’s access by clicking their name in the list, or revoke all access by clicking the Stop Slide Control button or stopping sharing completely.
Using Slide Control
When you’ve been given access to slide control and the presenter enters presentation mode, a banner notification will appear, informing you of the new access. The slide controls will appear just below the banner, in the bottom-left corner of the presentation view.

This can be useful for a real-time comparison of documents or other materials by participants. To make full use of this feature, enable the dual monitors option in the Zoom client settings.

Depending on their setup, participants will see the following:
- Participants using dual monitors can see the two most recently shared screens on each monitor.
