Question Can an presentation app on android be controlled by a presentation remote?

[Sanjit Keskar]

Let me assume i am using powerpoint for android on a tablet and using it make a presentation to my class.

Can i use a physical presentation remote to control the slideshow as in >> or << animations and slides (while walking around the class)?

Do you get such presentation remotes or does one have to control strictly with apps via bluetooth (could you name some - keeping in mind my tablet and phone are both android)?

Yup, they work! There's a lot of BT devices like that on Amazon or if you have a BT mouse or keyboard (they sell tiny ones, too!) that works as well. Also, there are remote apps that can work on your phone to control your tablet (just search for them on the Play Store) or from a smart watch (but the watch would have to be linked to the tablet, which is usually not the case; but if you present from your phone, then the watch could work!).

Oh! so they have to be Bluetooth? IR and RF remotes would not work?
