Presentation Mode

Once you have created your demos, you can manually trigger the steps from the Demo Time panel view, trigger them from the command palette with the Demo Time: Start command, or enter presentation mode to use a presenter/clicker to navigate through your demos.

Toggle Presentation Mode

To enter presentation mode, you can click on the “projector” icon in the Demo Time panel view or use the Demo Time: Start Presentation Mode command from the command palette.

When you enter presentation mode, if you have multiple demo sections, you can select the one you would like to start with.

Once you are in presentation mode, you can use your right arrow key or right presenter/clicker button to navigate through the steps of your demos.

Tip

If you want, you can override the default keybindings for the presenter/clicker buttons by updating the demoTime.start and demo-time.previous commands in the keybindings settings (use the Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts command).

Enable to go back action

If you would like to enable the ability to go back to the previous step, you can enable this by updating the demoTime.previousEnabled setting to true.

.vscode/settings.json

{
  "demoTime.previousEnabled": true
}

When you enabled this setting, you can use your left arrow key or left presenter/clicker button to navigate back to the previous step.

Caution

The ability to go back is disabled by default because some demos may involve changes to content in previous steps. Re-running these steps could cause conflicts or errors.
