What is a Remote Presentation?
A remote presentation is a talk, slideshow, or demo delivered to an audience over the internet through video calls or screen sharing, rather than in person.
A remote presentation lets a speaker share content with a distributed audience using conferencing and screen-sharing tools. The presenter talks through slides, documents, or live apps while viewers watch from their own devices, often with chat or Q&A.
A remote presentation differs from a webinar mainly by scale and format: webinars are usually structured, registered events, while a remote presentation can be any online talk. It also differs from a recorded demo video, since a remote presentation is typically delivered live.
Presenting remotely makes it harder for viewers to see where you are pointing or what you are typing on a shared screen. Limelight is a macOS menu-bar overlay that works alongside any meeting app: the cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1) makes your pointer easy to follow, keystroke display (⌃⌥2) shows shortcuts you use, and freehand drawing (⌃⌥3) lets you annotate live. Limelight does not host the call or share your screen; it overlays clarity on top of whatever you present.
