20 Features of slideAcross

Originally presented as a video series across 20 days

In May 2026, our Founder and CEO (Martin Tanner) presented a series called "20 Features in 20 Days". This was a series of videos, published to our social channels, to demonstrate the top 20 features of the slideAcross platform.

Today they serve as a great resource for new (and existing) slideAcross users to discover the features available to them when they start using slideAcross for their interactive, multilayered presentations.

Each of the videos is less than 2 minutes in length and includes walk throughs of the actual platform as well as commentary. Enjoy!

Episode 2 (presentation creation)

The 2nd in our series of videos looking at key slideAcross features. This video explores how slideAcross creates a presentation from an uploaded document (perhaps a sales proposal or teaching material).

Episode 3 (realtime slide generation)

We continue our series of short videos with a look at how slideAcross can generate slides in real time during a presentation. If your audience asks questions that you didn't expect, you can show them a rich, compliant slide with your answer.

Episode 4 (images)

Episode 4 looks at how images can be inserted into your presentation - either uploaded directly or using AI creation.

Episode 5 (design and branding)

Our fifth instalment of the "20 features in 20 days" series looks at how slideAcross enables your brand and design palette to be easily and seamlessly applied across your presentations - both your own creations and for every creator within your organisation.

Episode 6 (PowerPoint Import)

We appreciate that many of our users wish to bring their PowerPoint presentations into slideAcross. This video examines two ways that this is possible.

Episode 7 (Speech Recognition and Voice Control)

Episode 7 unpacks a real favourite feature of many of our users - speech recognition and voice control. See how slideAcross enables you to present and generate real-time slides hands free.

Episode 8 (Auto Background Creator)

This episode looks at a simple but powerful feature - auto background creation. This enables your slides to look beautiful, with shapes and patterns generated in a single click.

Episode 9 (Animations)

Regardless of your thoughts on slide animations (and whether you love them or loathe them) it is useful to know that slideAcross has the features to support a range of options. Episode 9 of "20 features in 20 days" shows how it works.

Episode 10 (AI Controls)

At slideAcross we know how essential AI governance and control is to any organisation. We use AI across many features in our platform and this video provides a very high level overview of the controls in place to ensure the output is compliant.

Episode 11 (Separate Audience and Presenter Views)

One of our most requested features: discover 6 reasons why our users love separate views for the presenter and audience when adapting their presentations in real time.

Episode 12 (Video)

Episode 12 of our "20 features in 20 days" video series looks at how the use of video in presentations can keep audiences engaged, through the delivery of different communication styles for content.

Episode 13 (Generating from a Text Prompt)

If you are looking for inspiration for your presentation, slideAcross will create slides from a simple text prompt. You can do this whilst editing, or live during your presentation. You can even create an entire presentation from a text prompt.

Episode 14 (Speech Recognition Configuration)

Episode 14 of our "20 features in 20 days" video series... and we are taking a deep dive into the speech recognition configuration options. Discover how you can fine tune the voice control to match your own preferences and style.

Episode 15 (Sharing and Different Licence Types)

In today's episode we explore how you can share your presentation with other users. This video takes a look at different user types (editors and viewer/commenters). It also explores our free tier and a feature to share the presentation using an access token.

Episode 16 (Creating slides from a web address)

Today's episode looks at how slides can be created from a URL or web address. You can either ask slideAcross to create a slide immediately, or you can add the web address (and linked sites) to a content library for later use. Alternatively, create an entire presentation from a website.

Episode 17 (Layering a Video Conference)

Episode 17 of our "20 features in 20 days" video series showcases a really useful feature. You can layer a video conference in your slide deck, which means you can seamlessly transition from your presentation to a platform demo by a sales engineer, a panel of invited guests or any other use case that you can imagine.

Episode 18 (Creating a new slide from existing slide content)

Today we look at a great feature that turns existing slide content into a new slide. Two really beneficial use cases... i) summarising long slide content into shorter bullets; and 2) articulating the key themes of an image or diagram.

Episode 19 (Using a slideAcross template for your presentation)

Sometimes we just need our presentations to look beautiful at the click of a button. This video explores the in-built templates and design collections within slideAcross - and how they can be immediately applied to your own presentations.

Episode 20 (Exporting from slideAcross)

It's the final episode of our "20 features in 20 days" video series. Today we look at exporting from slideAcross - either by printing, exporting to PDF or exporting to PowerPoint (from which you can upload into tools like Google Slides or Keynote). This topic brings us full circle back to the principle of multilayered presentations - and why they are so powerful.
