It would be awesome to be able to control the participant screen beforehand.

Here are some features I would disable if participant screen settings were available:

I would disable slide visibility on participant screens.
Students tend to look down at their screens during class, and it’s hard for us to tell whether they’re watching YouTube or actually viewing the slides.

I would disable the ‘Sign in to save this presentation’ option.
I’m not comfortable with students saving my intellectual property without my consent.

I would disable the ‘Attended’ feature.
I don’t want students to browse through my experimental slides or content prepared for future classes.

Thank you.

Hi, thank you for using AhaSlides!

Regarding your concerns:

  1. I would disable slide visibility on participant screens: For most slide types, participants will need to use their device to submit their answers, then look up to the presenter’s screen. To help us better understand your needs, could you share a bit more about how you’d ideally like this to work?

  2. I would disable the ‘Sign in to save this presentation’ option: you can disable this by unchecking the option “Show the Account tab on audience’s device”

  3. **I would disable the ‘Attended’ feature: **You can do this by unchecking the option above, and this option: **"**Allow audience to review the slides"
