ZOOM meeting using Keynote

I can not figure out how to set the Keynote presentation so that only one slide at a time shows up when I "share the screen" in a ZOOM meeting. This must be as simple as it it when I use Powerpoint, but I just can not figure it out. I'd rather use the Mac product than Powerpoint, as Msoft apps seem to be unhappy with Mac OS 10.15.5.

I've found two solutions for Keynote presentations in Zoom - sounds like several folks have posted here about wanting to combine Keynote with Zoom. In the first, you can show your slides. In the second solution below, you can run your Keynote presentation inside Zoom.

1) If you have Keynote versions up through 10.0, you can't run Keynote in Zoom but you can show slides . If you want one slide to appear at a time, just export as a PDF without selecting the builds option. If you'd like to show each bullet separately, the easiest solution I've found is to export my Keynote to PDF and, when doing so, selecting the "builds" option. Now I can show my entire presentation within Zoom by doing a share screen with the PDF. While this does lose the transitions and animations, you can show your full presentation, bullet by bullet in the sequence you've set up.

2) With version 10.1 of Keynote, Apple has now made it possible to run Keynote presentations within Zoom ! Hooray! This runs the presentation in all its glory, with every beautiful slide transition, animation, and video - you're showing the full Keynote experience within Zoom.

Launch Keynote.
I resize the window to remove all the black areas around my presentation.
Now open up Zoom.
Make sure to click the "Optimize Screen Share for Video Clip" if you have videos and animations in your Keynote 10.1 file, and then
Click the blue "Share" button.

Voila! You're in business.

Screensharing a Powerpoint on Zoom Hi there, I need to do Zoom Presentation very soon. Keynote doesn't work so bought Office 365 to do Powerpoint but it doesn't work properly either. I want to share only to Powerpoint without my audience seeing my whole screen but can't. I have tried doing it with Presentation Mode and cropping to share only that part of the screen but none of my transitions work when i do it that way and I can't easily go back to me. Is buying a PC the only way round this? I have been told it is but thought I'd ask just in case. Already know a Tec person switch to PC because of this. Mac will lose a fair bit of business if this doesn't get sorted. The PC works like a dream on Zoom. I love my Mac and don't want to switch so hoping there is a way. Any suggestions? 2024 1

Yes, v10.1 adds a Play Slideshow in Window command which makes it super-easy to share slides in a Zoom session... but what about the slide navigator? What about my presenter notes? What about the Presenter View?

Can we somehow enable these features to show in a window as well?

Not yet - there is no setting to show those within Keynote 10.1 for you separately while you’re also showing a Keynote presentation in Zoom. But the iPhone tip I just posted will give you a simple and effective workaround that achieves that!

Keynote is unable to show other applications on a second display when Keynote is in Play

Thank you! It’s the second option that I needed. I’ll give it a shot this evening.

Sharing slides as a Virtual Background

While you can share PowerPoint presentations or share Keynote presentations in meetings, you can also share your presentation as a Virtual Background for an immersive sharing experience. Sharing your slides as a Virtual Background allows your participants to view your video imposed directly on the screen share. It also allows you to manage your presentation directly from within the Zoom meeting controls.

Note : Sound, transitions, or animations embedded in slides are not supported.

If the presenter records the meeting locally , the recording will also have the video embedded on top of the slides. If the host or another participant uses cloud recording , the recording will record the slides and video as a normal screen share recording.

This article covers:

How to share a presentation as your background

Change slides, change video size and position, remove your video from slides, prerequisites for using virtual background to share a presentation, presenter requirements.

Zoom desktop client for Windows or macOS: Global minimum version or higher
System meets the requirements for Virtual Background
PowerPoint or Keynote (macOS only) installed locally

Viewer requirements

Zoom desktop client for Windows, macOS, or Linux: Global minimum version or higher
Zoom mobile app for Android or iOS: Global minimum version or higher

Note : If a participant is joining from the Web client, a Zoom Room, or 3rd party endpoint, they will view the slides as a normal screen share, and the presenter's video will not be imposed over the slides.
