Decklit FAQ – Security, Engagement & Green Streaming

When you share a presentation internally or externally through tools like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Dropbox, or by sending the file directly via email or any other traditional means, your original content remains exposed and can still be copied or duplicated, even if download or edit permissions are disabled. In those cases:

The full deck, along with hidden metadata, speaker notes, or revision history, becomes accessible
Tech-savvy users can extract slides, copy content, or save local versions
You lose control over how your intellectual property is handled

Decklit takes a different approach.

The original presentation never reaches your audience. Instead, your deck is transformed into static images that strip away hidden data, private notes, and editing options. Viewers can only see what you intend to share, for as long as you allow it.

Screenshots may still happen, as with any platform, but that is fundamentally different from handing over the full, editable file. With Decklit, your intellectual property stays protected, your raw files stay hidden, and your content stays under your control.

Decklit also gives you a smarter alternative to traditional screen sharing. You can present confidently without exposing your desktop, your documents, or any sensitive information that might accidentally pop up during a live session.

You decide. When you upload your deck you can decide if to make it available to your audience after your presentation or not. During the beta, your deck is available for up to 30 days, but you can remove it whenever you like. If you want to share your deck you can decide if to do it for a limited time after the presentation (24h, 48h, 72h) or for the whole time during which the deck will be available on the platform.

No — Decklit isn’t a video conferencing tool. It’s designed to enhance your presentations by turning your slides into secure, interactive experiences. You can use Decklit alongside platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams to add slide-specific Q&A, comments, and analytics while keeping full control of your content.

Using Decklit with these tools also helps drastically reduce unnecessary data usage compared to their native screen-sharing features, making your sessions lighter and more sustainable.

Pressing "End presentation" will immediately end the live streaming for everyone. Once stopped, the session cannot be resumed, and you’ll need to upload the deck again to create a new session and generate a new QR code.

If your content hasn’t changed, you can use the Duplicate feature to quickly create a new session without re-uploading the deck. You can also update the title and session time before starting the new live stream.

For the best experience, we recommend uploading your file as a PDF, which preserves the fonts, layout, and design exactly as intended. You can export your presentation as a PDF directly from PowerPoint by selecting File > Export > PDF. If you are using PowerPoint on Windows, you can also save your file as a PowerPoint Picture Presentation, which converts your slides into static images within the presentation to avoid formatting inconsistencies. Uploading a PDF remains the most reliable option for ensuring your presentation displays correctly on Decklit.
