A Text slide lets you add written content to a Menti Live presentation. On a Text slide, you can choose from seven font sizes (Title, Heading 1–3 and Body 1–3) and a Quote style, add bulleted and numbered lists at any font size, and arrange text in up to three columns. Text slides and all of these formatting options are available on all plans.

To add a Text slide to a Menti Live presentation:

When you click into the text on a Text slide, a formatting menu appears. The formatting menu on a Text slide has two rows:

Each column on a Text slide can contain up to 800 characters. The character count at the end of the bottom row shows how many characters the column contains. The ring around the character count fills up as you approach the 800-character limit. When a column reaches 800 characters, you cannot type any more text into that column. To add more text, shorten the existing text or add another column.

A Text slide has seven font sizes. From largest to smallest, they are:

To change the font size on a Text slide:

Each line of text on a Text slide can use a different font size. For example, you can use Title for the slide's main message and Body 2 for supporting points.

You can also apply heading sizes as you type. At the start of a line, type # for Heading 1, ## for Heading 2 or ### for Heading 3.

The Quote style on a Text slide displays text in a shaded box with quotation marks, so a quote stands out from the rest of the slide. To add a quote to a Text slide, click the line of text, then click the quote button (the quotation mark icon) in the formatting menu. You can also select Quote from the font size dropdown.

To change the text style on a Text slide, select the text, then click the B button in the formatting menu and choose an option. Each text style also has a keyboard shortcut:

Bulleted and numbered lists on a Text slide work with every font size, from Title to Body 3. You can also mix bulleted and numbered items in the same list.

To add a list to a Text slide:

To change a single list item between bulleted and numbered, click that item and select the other list type.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts on a Text slide:

Bulleted and numbered lists on a Text slide can appear all at once or one item at a time. To reveal list items one at a time, enable the Animate list items toggle in the sidebar.

Animate list items applies to lists only. Other text on the Text slide, such as headings and paragraphs, appears straight away.

When you present a Text slide with Animate list items enabled, the Next slide button changes to Next bullet. Each time you click Next bullet, the next list item appears. When all list items are visible, the button changes back to Next slide.

To align text on a Text slide, click the alignment button in the formatting menu. The alignment menu has two rows:

To change the text color on a Text slide, select the text, then click the color circle at the start of the bottom row of the formatting menu.

To add a link on a Text slide:

A Text slide can have up to three columns. Each column has its own text, so you can use different font sizes and lists in each column. Each column can contain up to 800 characters, so a Text slide with three columns can contain up to 2,400 characters in total.

To add a column to a Text slide, click the + button to the right of the text field.

To reorder columns on a Text slide:

The Reorder menu only shows the arrows for directions the column can move in. For example, the first column only shows a right arrow.

To add a text block to a Menti Form:

Text blocks in Menti Form have a smaller set of formatting options than Text slides in Menti Live. When you click into a text block in a Menti Form, a formatting menu appears with these options:

The following Text slide options are not available in Menti Form text blocks:
