Add slides and media to your presentation or conversation

Enhance your presentation or conversation in mmhmm with slides and media. You can also apply slide settings from one slide to another to achieve the same layout and presenter settings.

Add slides

In your web browser, go to ooo.mmhmm.app/talk or open the mmhmm app on your computer.

In the slide tray at the bottom, click Add Slide. This will create a new, blank slide where you can add content and media, change your slide background, and access presenter controls. By default, your new slide will be added to the mmhmm Scratchpad, which is the default presentation in mmhmm.
