# Shared Google Slides Control
A tool to enable remote shared control of Google Slides presentations.
## Overview
Shared Google Slides Control addresses a common pain point in remote presentations with multiple speakers: the challenge of slide deck control. Traditionally, only one speaker can manage the slide transitions, which can disrupt the flow of the presentation.
This project empowers presenters by allowing them to share control of a Google Slides deck with other speakers seamlessly.
## How It Works
The solution involves either a Chrome Extension or a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey Userscript on the presenter's side that connects to a remote server via WebSocket. This setup facilitates the following features:
- **QR Code and Link Generation**: The userscript generates a QR code or a link that can be shared with co-presenters.
- **Remote Control Interface**: Co-presenters can use the provided link to access a user interface that allows them to control the slide deck in real-time.

## Features
- **Seamless Integration**: Easily integrate with your existing Google Slides presentations.
- **Real-Time Collaboration**: Multiple presenters can control slide transitions without interruptions.
- **Secure Connections**: Utilizes WebSocket connections to ensure real-time, secure control sharing.
## Usage
If you simply want to use this project to share your slides, I have deployed an instance of the server on [Clever Cloud](https://clever-cloud.com), and you can use it as is.
In order to use it you will need to follow this steps:
1. **Presenter Setup**: The main presenter installs the userscript or the extension and initiates the presentation.
2. **Share Control**: The presenter shares the generated QR code or link with co-presenters.
3. **Co-presenters Control**: Co-presenters access the control interface through the shared link and can control slide transitions in real-time.
### Installing the Userscript
1. **Install Userscripts plugin in your browser**: the most populars are [Tampermonkey](https://tampermonkey.net/) and [Greasemonkey](http://www.greasespot.net/).
2. **Add the Userscript**: directly from [GitHub](./userscript/shared-google-slides-control.user.js), or from the [GreasyFork page](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/500807-share-google-slides-controls).
3. **Run the Script**: Open your Google Slides presentation, and the script will automatically display a QR code and link for sharing control.
### Installing the extension
The Chrome Extension isn't in the store yet, you need to manually load it in unpacked format from the `chrome-extension` folder, [as described in Chrome Extensions documentation](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/get-started/tutorial/hello-world#load-unpacked).
## Deploying the server elsewhere
You can deploy the server in any host accepting NodeJS. You will need to change the Userscript and the Chrome Extension as they point to the [Clever Cloud](https://clever-cloud.com) instance of the server.
