So, you've started making presentations in Mentimeter? Great to hear it! When you are ready to present, click on the blue “Present” button in the top right corner of the editor and you will be taken to the Presentation view.
What you see
When you click “Present” and start presenting, you will see a few things:
The voting instructions at the top
Your question in the upper-left corner or center
The navigation arrows in the lower-left corner
The number of votes in the lower-right corner (zero, since we have no votes yet!)
The number of reactions in the low-right corner, if they have been turned on for your slides
The Presentation menu to open the settings in the lower-left corner (note: the Presentation menu will only appear once you hover over this area).
For now, you will not see any results. But as soon as your audience starts to vote on the presentation, the results will automatically appear in this view.
How to move between slides
To go to the next slide in the presentation, use your keyboard’s arrow-keys or the arrows in the lower-left corner. When you go to the next slide, the new slide will also be shown in the participants’ voting devices. To let your audience move on to the following questions without you needing to show them, you can change the presentation mode.
When you have received votes
As soon as your audience has voted on your presentation, the results will automatically appear in the Presentation view.
Keyboard shortcuts
From the Presentation view, you can also bring up a menu of keyboard shortcuts for quick adjustments and presentation features:
The Presentation menu
If you hover with your pointer in the lower-left corner of the presentation view, a presentation menu will appear.
Here you will find all the settings and functions that you can set and use during the presentation. In the menu you have shortcuts for hiding the results, closing voting, starting a countdown, and more useful features:
Toggle fullscreen
Start countdown
Enable chat

Show or hide voting instructions
You'll notice that there are other functions elsewhere on the screen. You can

Exit Presentation view (top-left corner)
Reset the results, show history and trends and more (along the left side of the screen)
The Present dropdown menu
Next to the Present button in the top right corner, you will find a small arrow which you can click to reveal a dropdown menu with the following option:

Next to the Share button you can also see a small button with a logo representing an eye. This button opens Preview mode where you can see what the presentation will look like for both you and your audience.
