notes

-n, --notes [slug]       open with speakers notes

This option generates the speaker view in addition of your presentation.

Per default, notes view is accessible through /notes.html, but you can change it with the slug argument.

slidesk -n hidden-path

speaker view

In the speaker view, you can view:

  • the current slide
  • the next slide
  • a timer
  • your notes
warning

When this option is active, you can't navigate directly in the presentation with keyboard. The speaker view controls the navigation.

Technically, communication between the "presentation" view and the "speaker" view takes place via a websocket.

This is done via a window.slidesk.io object available in the "presentation" and "speaker" pages.

Example of a call to the next slide:

window.slidesk.io.send(JSON.stringify({ action: "next" }));

This JavaScript object enables developers to add additional functionality through plugins.
