    Keynote has a built-in feature that lets you share your presentation live. [1]
    • Keynote Live is limited in that it won't play audio or let you do live audio narration. If you want to narrate the presentation live, you'll want to use Keynote Live with an audio conferencing tool like Zoom, Microsoft Teams , or Google Meet .

    This creates an invitation link for your presentation.

    You can invite people to view your presentation by sending them the link. Choose Mail to compose email message containing the link that you can address to whomever you wish. You can also use iMessage by selecting Message , AirDrop it to people nearby, or any of the other app options.
    • If you want to share the invitation link in your video conferencing software or a live chat, choose Copy Link to copy the link to your clipboard, and then paste it into the conversation.

Then, when you're ready to share your presentation, click the green-and-white rectangle with a triangle in the toolbar and select Play on Keynote Live to start sharing. You can click the green-and-white rectangle and triangle icon to start sharing again.
    • If you want to invite more people after starting the presentation, press the Esc key to stop playback, click the Keynote Live button in the toolbar (the computer monitor with two curved lines), select Invite Viewers , and choose your viewers.

  3. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/4\/42\/Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/4\/42\/Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-10.jpg\/aid12528728-v4-728px-Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":347,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":549,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    If you're using a Mac, skip this step.

    A link to your Keynote presentation is now saved to your clipboard.
    • The link begins with "https://www.icloud.com/keynote" and ends with "#yourfilename" .
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-14.jpg\/aid12528728-v4-728px-Share-Keynote-Presentations-Online-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":344,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":544,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Now that you have a link to your presentation, you can paste it into your website's code. The steps to do this vary by website, but most website builders have an "Embed" option that you can use. Here are a few examples of how to embed the presentation on popular sites:
    • Medium: No extra code is needed. To embed the link, simply paste it onto its own line and press Enter or Return . [2] Medium will display the embedded presentation once you publish your story.
    • Wordpress: Using the Block Editor, create a new "Embed" block (the first embedding option), paste the Keynote link into the field, and click "Embed." If you're not using the Block Editor, you can embed the presentation by placing the URL on its own line. [3]
    • Embed.ly: If you're using another type of website or site builder, check out Embed.ly , which will help you create embed codes for a variety of sites and services.
