Limelight
Dim the screen around what you are presenting
A cluttered screen pulls attention away from your point. Limelight dims everything except the region you are presenting, so all eyes land on what matters.
When you present, your audience sees your whole busy screen at once: toolbars, tabs, notifications, the works. The one thing you want them to look at competes with everything else, and your message gets diluted.
Limelight runs from your menu bar and offers a region spotlight that darkens everything outside a chosen area. Press ⌃⌥4 to turn on the region spotlight and dim the rest of the screen, leaving only the part you are presenting lit up. It works on top of any app, in the room or on a shared call, since the dimming is part of your screen.
Great for presenters, teachers, and demoers who want to focus attention on one chart, panel, or section on a Mac. Region spotlight is a Pro feature.
