#Iphone keynote update#

Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t provide an option to frame screen captures in device images-you’d think they’d have those image files laying around at Apple HQ!-so it will be up to the rest of us to find or create those images. That said… if you want it to look good, you’ll want to place an image of an iPhone or iPad above it, with a transparent screen space, so the device image can look like it’s being presented from a device and not a floating rectangle.

(In a weird quirk, M1 Macs won’t be able to use the video-feed feature until they update to macOS Monterey, which is not yet available in a final version.)Īnd of course, anyone who needs to demonstrate something happening on an Apple device will be glad that they can finally integrate live screen captures right into their slide deck. Combine this with Keynote’s ability to record a presentation, and you can craft a dynamic presentation that integrates your image when it makes sense.

This means you can present via a Keynote deck and include yourself in the presentation when necessary, and leave yourself out the rest of the time, letting you be the director of your own presentation if you’re screen-sharing with others. They’re croppable and can be layered above or below other objects on a slide. Video objects can be added to individual slides as regular objects, which means they can appear and disappear across slides and be a part of transitions between slides. Your mileage may vary, but my favorite updates are in Keynote, which has added support for live video on slides-from cameras or (on the Mac) from device screen captures. On Tuesday Apple released version 11.2 of its iWork app suite, featuring new versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. You’ll need to bring your own device frames, though.

Keynote will let you place live camera (left) and device screen capture (right, Mac only) on slides as standard objects. IWork comes alive with Keynote live-video features
