Can anyone recommend a realtime remote presentation solution? That is, something that updates the slides for the viewers as well, to use instead of sharing a screen with slides.

Good question. Would also be interested in this, as something to accompany [insert video conferencing tool of choice] to make use of dual monitors sensibly. What's your use case out of interest?

  It would be very useful for schools. I have to grade quite a few presentations and many students have crappy internet so a lot of the times the slides appear smudgy and I have to go over them manually after the presentations. Having the slides automatically synced during presentation would require way less bandwidth than screen sharing and thus result in a better experience for both parties.

  I used this to present my weekly updates to clients and offered a url for them to follow along. I still screenshared for those who couldn’t be bothered. Would be nice to stream audio directly with the presentation to facilitate things like investor calls without requiring a full conferencing solution

I made something like this for my wife with clojure and clojurescript. Basically it used websockets to broadcast a url to the clients and the client displayed the image at the url with some css decoration. She was doing phone conferencing for audio at the time. Worked really well for its purpose and was super simple. She has since moved to zoom and just does plain screen shares now.

I work for Beautiful.ai - we have this, but currently behind a feature flag. We'll be releasing what you described soon - the reason it isn't fully released yet is that you still need some kind of conference call link, and having two links gets a bit awkward for viewers. We're also working on a way to record video with synchronized slide advancement for an asynchronous "meeting" with the same intended effect. Let me know if you want to chat or check it out.

Apple Keynote does this now I believe via the iCloud web site. Not FOSS but useful

Take a look at BigBluebutton [0]. It allows presentation sharing in a nice way and is generally built for sessions with 50 or less users. You have to self host it though but they have a nice install.sh script. [0] https://bigbluebutton.org https://bigbluebutton.org

We have a few customers beta testing liven.io right now, which does exactly this. Primarily we're working with venues to coordinate presentations / livestreams across multiple screens (think main pres on one screen, event agenda on another, speaker timer on another, etc.), then broadcasting that out for a remote or hybrid event. It's all browser based and runs on websockets - if that sounds interesting feel free to reach out and you can try it out!

The reveal.js Multiplex plugin lets you do this, though it requires some manual setup to get the server running. https://github.com/reveal/multiplex https://github.com/reveal/multiplex The official reveal.js platform at slides.com also support remote presenting, streamed to any number of viewers.
