Using Keynote Live

-
Click the Keynote Live button. It's the computer icon with two curved lines at its side, and you'll find it in the toolbar at the top of Keynote. A confirmation message will appear.Advertisement

Click Continue on the pop-up window. This creates an invitation link for your presentation.
