Present to Meet & Zoom

Share a clean audience view into a video call — just the slide, your laser, and your ink — while your notes, up-next, and timer stay private on your screen.

Why not just share the present view#

Presenter view is a cockpit: it shows your speaker notes and the next slide. If you screen-share that window, the whole room sees your notes. So Quodra gives you a separate, chrome-free audience window to share instead.

How it works#

1. Start presenting (Present in the editor).
2. Press the last button in the presenter's tool row — Present to Meet / Zoom — opens a clean audience window to screen-share. A second window opens, titled Quodra — Audience, and shows Connecting to the presenter… for the moment it takes to receive the deck.
3. A banner appears across the top of your cockpit: Audience window is live — in Meet or Zoom pick Share › Window › “Quodra — Audience.” Your notes and up-next stay here.
4. Share that window in your call, using the steps below.
5. When you're done, press Stop in the banner. The audience window says Presentation ended. and closes.

In Google Meet#

1. In the meeting, choose Present now, then A window.
2. Pick Quodra — Audience from the window list.
3. Move the audience window to a second screen if you have one, and keep the cockpit on the screen in front of you.

In Zoom#

1. Click Share Screen.
2. Stay on the Basic tab and select the Quodra — Audience window — not Screen.
3. Click Share.

What the room sees#

Blackout travels too: press B and the audience window goes black while you keep the console.

The two windows are the same app on the same machine, so they stay in sync instantly — move to the next slide, wave the laser, or draw, and the audience window follows. They talk over a browser channel rather than the network, so nothing about this depends on your connection quality.

Because the document itself is live, a parameter you drag or a cell you run updates in front of the room too: the results are written back into the document, and the document is what the audience window renders. The audience window itself never computes and never touches the network — it draws exactly what you send it.

When it doesn't look right#

• No audience window appeared. It opens as a new browser window, so a pop-up blocker can stop it. Allow pop-ups for Quodra and press the button again. Pressing it a second time when the window already exists just brings that window to the front.
• **The window says Connecting to the presenter… and stays there.** It is waiting for the cockpit to answer. Make sure the presenter view is still open in the same browser on the same machine — the two windows have no other way to reach each other.
• You shared the wrong window. Stop sharing in Meet or Zoom and pick Quodra — Audience again. Nothing in Quodra needs restarting; the audience window kept running.
• The room sees your notes. You shared your whole screen, or the cockpit window. Switch the share to the single window named Quodra — Audience.
• The audience is a slide behind. Check the banner is still showing. If you closed the audience window, the banner's Stop clears the state — press the cast button again to open a fresh one, and it will be sent the whole deck on connect.
• The slide looks cropped. The audience window scales the slide to fit whatever size it is; resize the window rather than zooming the page.

Coming next#

Deeper, in-meeting integration — Quodra running inside the Zoom and Meet client and pushing the deck onto the call's main stage — is in progress. The clean audience window above is the way to present into a call today, in any meeting tool.
