## The big picture

EngageSlide turns a one-way presentation into a two-way conversation. You build slides in the **Presenter** app, put them on the big screen, and your audience responds live from their phones in the **Audience** app — no app store download required.

Presenter creates the slide → Click Present → Share code / QR → Audience enters code → Respond & submit → Real-time results

## Two apps, always in sync

- **Presenter** — where you build slides and run the live session (app.engageslide.com).
- **Audience** — where participants join with a code and respond (join.engageslide.com).

## What you can build

- **Quiz & game slides** — scored competitions with a leaderboard.
- **Interactive questions** — polls, word clouds, Q&A, scales, rankings and more.
- **Content slides** — text, instructions and countdowns to frame the session.
- **Integrations** — embed EngageSlide into PowerPoint, Google Slides, Teams or any web page.

> **New here?** — Start with **Create your first presentation**, then add a **Poll** — it is the fastest way to see the live loop in action.
