You can let your audience send live reactions during your presentation, so participants can respond in the moment without interrupting the flow.

How to Enable Reactions

1

Open Settings

While editing your presentation, click Settings.
2

Open Advanced

Click Advanced.
3

Choose your reactions

Choose which reactions your audience can send during the presentation by checking the boxes under them: Like, Love, Haha, Wow, and Sad.
You can offer as few or as many as you like — participants only see the reactions you check. Once enabled, your audience can tap them on their devices, and they appear live during your presentation.

How to Turn Reactions Off

There is no single on/off switch, so you turn the feature off by unchecking all reactions. With none checked, no reaction bar appears on your participants’ screens.
1

Open the presentation you want to change

In your dashboard, open the presentation in the editor.
2

Go to Settings

Click Settings in the editor.
3

Click Advanced

This is where the reaction options live.
4

Find the Reactions section

You will see the five reactions, each with its own checkbox below it.
5

Uncheck all reactions

Uncheck every reaction, one by one, until none are left checked. Reactions are now off for this presentation.
Reactions are set per presentation, so unchecking them here turns them off for this presentation only — your other presentations keep their own settings.
