Projector

Hey everybody! I’m super excited to introduce something major and new from Projector today, aimed at giving you all a better way to present visuals to a distributed audience. We’re calling it Live Sessions, and it offers you a new way to host and guide an immersive, shared, synchronized viewing experience without having to share your screen. We’ve received a bunch of feedback that screen-sharing presentations and other multimedia materials over Zoom has been making people sad. And that’s been making us especially sad, because we want people to be proud to share the things they create in Projector. Since Projector is already a collaborative _editing_ platform, we thought: why not build a better shared _viewing_ experience? Why are we sharing our screens — making our graphics look fuzzy and our videos choppy — when we could have everyone open a higher-quality, synchronized view in the comfort of their own devices? Along that line of thinking, Live Sessions was born. *How it works and why it’s cool* 1. You can create a Live Session from any visuals you create in Projector 2. Everyone in your audience opens the Session on their own device. Videos are HD and fast, transitions animate smoothly, links are clickable 3. You (as the host) get to control what your audience sees — when you move to the next slide, they move with you 4. Your audience can navigate to earlier slides on their own time. If they want to revisit something you’d said earlier, they can, and they can always sync back live. They just can’t skip ahead of the host — we don’t support spoilers! 5. Live Sessions come with video support for the host and voice chat for everyone else, but you can also choose to turn that off and use your session to accompany a Zoom meeting or a phone call *Live demo later today* Our team is hosting a live demo and Q&A session today at 1pm Pacific Time, where you can get a feel for the Live Sessions experience firsthand. If you’re interested, we’d love to have you. Just use this link to let us know if you’re planning to attend: https://4ytfijpjk9o.typeform.com... If you can’t make the demo session, no worries. All the info you need to get started is at https://projector.com/live-sessions. We’ve also designed a fresh batch of new presentation templates to celebrate our Live Sessions launch. Check ‘em out at https://projector.com/templates! Thanks, everyone! -Trevor

?makers This is so amazing. I'm done with those muffled up screens 😭 Loved the template gallery. Beautiful and covers almost all the major use cases. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on the launch! I love emojis reactions and clickable links. Amazing!
