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.
To add media to your blank slide, choose the slide media type at the top of the mmhmm stage. Choose from Media Library, Share Screen, Upload File, Add Text, Search GIPHY, or More to access more slide media options.
Any slide media you add will be stored in the Media Library and can be reused.
Open the mmhmm Studio app on your Mac.
Click New Slide above the slide tray and select the slide content type you want to add.
Types of media
You can add different types of media in mmhmm such as text, GIFs, videos, screenshares, and more.

- Screen share slides must be added from the New Slide menu. They can’t be dragged and dropped into the slide tray like image and video files.
- If the window you choose is minimized, you must display it on your desktop before it shows up in your slide tray correctly.
- If your audience says your screen share looks blurry, your video conferencing tool has lowered your bandwidth automatically in response to the network speed. To fix this, share the Broadcast window instead.
