Communication happens directly, without external servers

Connection Methods:

Method 1: QR Code (recommended)

Launch PresentClic Desktop and open presentation
QR code appears on screen
Scan QR code with phone (built-in camera or app)
Automatic redirect to web remote

Method 2: Manual Entry

Launch PresentClic Desktop - note IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100:3000)
On phone, open browser
Enter IP address in address bar
Web remote loads automatically

LAN Mode Advantages:

Maximum security - data doesn't leave local network
No internet requirements
Minimal latency
Perfect for corporate conferences

Global Mode (Online)

Access from anywhere in the world via PresentClic servers with end-to-end encryption.

How it works:

PresentClic connects to PresentClic servers via internet
You receive a unique session code (e.g., ABC-123)
Mobile devices connect via presentclic.com/{code}
Communication through servers with E2E encryption

Connection:

Launch PresentClic Desktop in Global mode
Copy session code (e.g., ABC-123)
On phone, go to presentclic.com
Enter session code or scan QR code
Remote loads automatically

Security: All Global mode communications are end-to-end encrypted. PresentClic servers act only as relay and have no access to presentation content.

Enter vMix IP address
Usually: localhost:8088 (if vMix runs on same computer)
Test connection
Click "Test Connection" - status should show "Connected"
Map inputs

Troubleshooting

1. PowerPoint/Keynote not detected

Windows:

Run PresentClic as Administrator (right-click → "Run as administrator")
Check PowerPoint version (2016 or later required)
Ensure PowerPoint is running before PresentClic
Install latest Microsoft Office updates

macOS:

Grant PresentClic Accessibility permissions:
System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility
Grant Automation permissions for Keynote:
System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Automation
Check Keynote version (latest recommended)
Restart Keynote and PresentClic

2. Cannot connect to remote

LAN Mode:

Ensure phone and computer are on same WiFi network
Check firewall settings - allow PresentClic network access
Some corporate networks block peer-to-peer communication - contact IT
Try disabling VPN on computer or phone

Global Mode:

Check internet connection on both devices
Verify session code is correct (case-sensitive)
Wait 10-15 seconds - server connection may take a moment
Check if firewall blocks port 443 (HTTPS)

3. Lag or delays

WiFi signal strength: Move closer to router or use 5GHz network (faster than 2.4GHz)
Close unnecessary apps: Especially those using internet/network
Reduce slide preview quality: In PresentClic settings → Quality: Medium or Low
Check network load: Other devices may consume bandwidth (streaming, downloads)
LAN instead of Global: LAN has lower latency (no intermediate servers)

4. Google Slides extension issues

Refresh page: Ctrl+R (Windows) or Cmd+R (Mac) in browser
Reinstall extension:
1. Remove extension from browser
2. Restart browser
3. Reinstall from extensions folder
Check PresentClic Desktop is running: Extension requires running app
Port 3001: Ensure nothing blocks port 3001 (used by extension)

5. vMix not connecting (Windows only)

Check vMix is running: Launch vMix before PresentClic
Verify IP address:
- Same computer: localhost:8088 or 127.0.0.1:8088
- Different computer: {computer_IP}:8088 (e.g., 192.168.1.50:8088)
Test vMix API manually:
Open in browser: http://localhost:8088/api
You should see XML response with vMix information
Enable Web Controller in vMix:
vMix Settings → Web Controller → Enable
