About

Presentation Assistant

Transform your web presentations with powerful visual tools to keep your audience focused.

Description

Presentation Assistant is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your web-based presentations, online teaching, and screen sharing sessions. It provides two powerful visual tools: a customizable pointer highlight that follows your cursor and a region selector that dims everything except the area you want to emphasize.

Why install Presentation Assistant?

- Focus Audience Attention: Highlight specific regions on any webpage to keep your viewers focused on what matters
- Professional Presentations: Make your screen shares more engaging with a visible, customizable pointer
- Flexible & Customizable: Adjust pointer and overlay colors, opacity levels, and choose from light or dark themes
- Simple to Use: Intuitive keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls make it effortless to use during live presentations
- Works Everywhere: Compatible with any website, making it perfect for tutorials, webinars, online teaching, code reviews, and demos

How to use:

1. Enable the Extension: Click the Presentation Assistant icon in your toolbar and toggle the extension ON
2. Show the Pointer: Check "Show pointer" to display a visible highlight that follows your cursor (great for presentations!)
3. Select a Region: Hold `Alt` (`Option` on Mac) and drag to create a highlighted region - everything outside will be dimmed
4. Customize: Adjust pointer and overlay colors and opacity to match your presentation style, or use the preset themes - Light Theme for light webpages and Dark Theme for dark webpages (optimized with better overlay colors to enhance focus on highlighted regions). You can also adjust the corner radius to customize the roundness of the highlighted region, transforming it from sharp corners to smooth curves or even a perfect circle.
5. Resize or Move: Click and drag the highlighted region to move it, or use the handles to resize
6. Clear Selection: Double-click anywhere to remove the highlighted region
