SeatView documentation

Short, practical guides. Most speakers are set up in under five minutes.

Getting started

Create a session from the presenter dashboard. Drop in a PDF or upload your slides exported as PDF — formatting stays exactly how you designed it.

Project the join screen on stage. Attendees scan the QR code and land in the live view in around a second. No app, no account.

Click through with your trackpad, keyboard, or a paired Bluetooth clicker. Every connected phone follows along automatically.

Presenter setup

Open /presenter on your laptop. Sign in, then pick or create a session. The dashboard shows your current slide, speaker notes, the next slide, and a live attendee count.

Pair your clicker over Bluetooth from the toolbar. Most Logitech, Kensington, and Apple keyboards work out of the box.

If you lose Wi-Fi, the local cache keeps your slides moving. Once you reconnect, attendees catch up automatically.

Attendee experience

Attendees scan the on-stage QR code. The live view opens in their default browser — no app, no login.

Tap any line to highlight it. Tap the pencil icon to add a private note. Pinch to zoom on dense slides.

When the talk ends, the deck is emailed back with their highlights and notes baked in. They can also download it on the spot.

Exporting personal PDFs

Personal PDFs are generated when you end the session. Each attendee gets a copy of the deck with their notes and highlights inline.

On Event Pro and Enterprise, PDFs carry your event branding, sponsor logos, and a custom footer.

Bulk-download the entire room as a ZIP from the post-event report.

Troubleshooting

Attendee phone won't load: check the conference Wi-Fi captive portal. SeatView opens at sv.live, which is whitelisted in most venues.

Slides not advancing for the room: confirm the green Live pill is active in the presenter toolbar. If not, click Resume.

Clicker not paired: re-pair from Bluetooth settings, then click Reconnect in the SeatView toolbar.
