Starting From a Sample

Try a finished deck, then use it

The hotels, restaurants, small business and Iceland pages now have a See it running section with a live sample deck, a slide-by-slide list and a Use this slideshow button. The new /for/gyms page has one too.

The deck arrives in your workspace

Pressing Use this slideshow puts the deck in your workspace. Signed-in users can also copy a starter deck from the Slideshows page while it is empty, and a new workspace that has just paired its first TV can put a sample on that screen straight from the pairing page.

Live slides come connected

A copied sample brings its own templates and live data sources, so weather, earthquake, alert and northern lights slides show data instead of staying empty. The slideshow page lists once which slides were connected and which still need a source. On a plan without dynamic slides, the live slides are copied hidden and the page links to the plans.

A welcome slideshow on your first TV

When you install the InfoSlides TV app, scan its QR code and sign up, the TV now shows a two-slide welcome slideshow in your language. It starts playing on its own once it is ready.

What this means for you: a new screen has something on it from the start, and you can change a finished example instead of starting from a blank slideshow.

Want these on your screens? Upload a PowerPoint, pair a screen, and it plays. Free plan, no card required.
