Using Impress Remote control
Impress Remote is a mobile application developed by the community for Android and iOS systems
that allows you to control a live presentation with a mobile device such as a phone or tablet.
The connection between your mobile device and the computer running your presentation is made
through a Bluetooth pairing or a local network connection between the two.
Getting Impress Remote
To get the software, access your mobile device application store, either Google Play Store for
Android devices or Apple Store for IOs devices. Search for “Impress Remote” and select the one
that is from The Document Foundation and install it in your device.
Connecting the mobile device to the computer
Activate Bluetooth on both devices, then pair the devices. (Refer to the manuals for your mobile
device and computer operating system for instructions on enabling, setting up a Bluetooth
identifier, and pairing.)
Once the pairing is established, your mobile device is ready to control your presentation.
Enabling remote control in Impress
An Impress slide show with remote control is not enabled by default. To enable it, go to Tools >
Options > LibreOffice Impress > General and select Enable Remote Control checkbox in the
Presentation area of the dialog (Figure 164).
