The AhaSlides app for Zoom lets you seamlessly integrate interactive presentations into your Zoom meetings and webinars. Participants can respond directly from within Zoom, with no need to visit a separate link or enter an access code.
Presenter and participants must use the Zoom Workplace or Zoom Webinar desktop app on PC or laptop. The Zoom mobile app is not supported for this integration. Only the host (presenter) needs an AhaSlides account — participants join as guests.

How Participants Join

Participants have three ways to open the AhaSlides panel during the meeting:
  • From an invite — click Open in the invitation notification they receive when the host starts the presentation.
  • Automatically — click Apps in the Zoom meeting, find and add the AhaSlides app; it connects automatically when the host starts.
  • By entering a code — click Apps, add the AhaSlides app, select Join as a Participant, and enter the access code.
Once connected, participants submit their answers in the AhaSlides panel within the Zoom meeting — no browser switch needed.
