How to navigate your presentation Simple
This guide is out of date. Chase this up on Discord
We now have Presentation mode - a different window state during presentations, instead of the Big Pink Button. There are more ways to navigate (e.g. left and right arrow keys or clicking anywhere.)

CueCam Presenter features a big pink “Play” button that you can use to start and navigate your presentation.

Before you start it looks like this: the-button

Here’s a very short presentation: short-presentation

When you first press the Start button, the Virtual Camera and Dashboard are revealed. This lets you adjust your Main Camera and audio settings if you need to. dash-reveal

The text of the pink button changes to preview the next card’s content and reveals the “Stop” button to the right. stop-on-right

Clicking the button takes us to the next card and shows any attached shares, triggers or slide content. next-card-thank-you

When you reach the last card, the pink bar changes to become the “End Presentation” button. last-card

Cards with bullet points

If you have a card with bullet points, the big pink button changes to reveal these bullets one at a time.

Here we have landed on a card with bullets and the pink button changes to show “Next Bullet: First thing”. bullet-points

Clicking the button reveals the first bullet and changes to show “Next Bullet: Second thing” second-bullet

When all bullets have been revealed, the button changes to show “Next Card” and will continue to the next card when clicked. last-bullet

Keyboard shortcuts

You can use the shortcuts ⌥⌘→ and ⌥⌘← to navigate your script a CueCam window is focused.

Stream Deck

With CueCam’s Stream Deck plugin installed, you can add the Next button. stream-deck

On a Stream Deck, the button will update while you are presenting.

Start: sd-start

Next Card: sd-next

Next Bullet Point: sd-next-bullet

End Presentation: sd-end

Here’s the recommended configuration for a Stream Deck Foot Pedal. stream-deck-pedal

Apple Shortcuts

CueCam Presenter works with Shortcuts. apple-shortcuts

Options are currently limited so feel free to ask for more on Discord.

How to request new features for CueCam Presenter

Deep Link

You can trigger the “Next” action with a deep link by calling the url cuecam://next from any other application.

You can test this by pasting it into Notes (and pressing space to make it into a link).

Click the link and CueCam will navigate to the next card. notes

Considerations

CueCam can only present one document at a time but the Next action is a global behaviour. This means that you may sometimes need to intervene to make sure the correct presentation will run, if multiple presentations are loaded, by clicking the “Start” button in the correct window.

If you trigger a “Jump To Doc” action then the End Presentation action will be replaced with a Jump Back action at the end of the jumped-to doc.

Understanding the teleprompter window Intermediate

CueCam’s teleprompter window is designed to be used with a connected teleprompter device like an Elgato Prompter, or a Glide Gear teleprompter with a Liliput monitor or iPad running Duet.

Once set up correctly, a teleprompter will appear to your Mac as an extra display. displays

You can reveal CueCam’s teleprompter window with the toolbar button. toolbar

The teleprompter window has various functions.

  1. Your camera preview
  2. Your teleprompter
  3. Audio level of your virtual mic (using LUFS)
  4. Presentation navigation and recording controls.
  5. Source selector (more on this below) anatomy

Drag it to the teleprompter’s display to continue. For best results, make it full-screen. prompter

Changing the position

You can drag the teleprompter to a different position if you need to. teleprompter-drag.gif

Changing the width and font size

Hovering over the teleprompter text gives you more controls. teleprompter-hover.gif

Below we see:

  1. Font size - click the big and small A buttons to change the text size.
  2. Max width - drag this bar left and right to change the maximum display width. resize

The teleprompter area will always take the minimum possible size based on the currently-displayed text.

Audio monitoring

Your audio meter should be in the green for a good -23 LUFS signal.

If you get too loud, you’ll see a warning in your teleprompter. audio-clipping.gif

Alternative sources

If you want to use this window for your remote video calls, you can select your Zoom, Teams or Meet window from the selector at the top. share-zoom

Alternatively you can use the “Transparent Window” option. The teleprompter window always stays on top of other windows so this way you can drag any other windows you need onto your teleprompter and keep the CueCan’s HUD on top of everything else. Here it is dragged on top of Ecamm Live’s Program window. transparent

It’s also possible to select a camera via Zoom’s “Advanced” options under screen sharing.

  1. Reveal CueCam’s “Program Window” program-window

  2. Share this window in Zoom zoom-program-window

This will have the added benefit of making text sharper, although your camera video frame rate may suffer.
