Keynote
Create professional, cutting-edge presentations with Keynote. Start with one of the more than 30 predesigned themes and make it your own by adding text, 3D objects, and changing the color scheme. With Activity Stream, it’s easier than ever to collaborate on a Keynote presentation and keep track of every change along the way.
Organize visually. Use the slide navigator on the left to quickly add, rearrange, or delete slides. Click a slide to see it in the main window, drag a slide to change its order, or select a slide and press Delete to remove it.
Collaborate in Messages. You can send an invitation to collaborate in Messages, and everyone on the thread is automatically added to the Keynote presentation. Click the Share button in the menu bar, make sure Collaborate is selected, then click Messages. Choose the name of the group you want to add as participants.
Work together in real time. With Activity Stream, a detailed list in the sidebar allows you to see edits and comments made by collaborators on a Keynote presentation. It’s easy to follow each change, as well as who has been added to the Keynote presentation or any other file management changes.
Practice makes perfect. To rehearse your presentation, choose Play > Rehearse Slideshow. You see each slide along with your notes—and a clock to keep you on track.
Present in any situation. Present in person using an external display and use your Mac to view upcoming slides, presenter notes, a clock, and a timer. During a videoconference, host a slideshow with other presenters, and control it as you would when presenting alone. Create an interactive presentation that the viewer controls; control your presentation remotely using your iPhone, iPad, or even your Apple Watch; and more.
Share your presentation. If your manager wants to review your presentation or you want to share it with others on a conference call, choose Share > Send a Copy to send a copy by Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or even social media.
Draw them in. Get their attention by animating an object on a slide. Select the object, click Animate in the toolbar, click Action in the sidebar, then click Add an Effect.
Tip: You can include a video in your presentation. Click where you want it to be, then click the Media button in the toolbar. Click “Photos or Videos,” then find the movie you want and drag it to your slide.
Use the Touch Bar on your 13-inch MacBook Pro. Tap the arrow buttons to move up or down through your slides. Tap to zoom or skip a slide, or tap to group or ungroup slides. In presentation mode, you see thumbnails of your slides in the Touch Bar.
