Live Sessions by Projector - A new way to present from anywhere, no screen sharing

Hey everybody! I’m super excited to introduce something major and new from Projector today, aimed at giving you all a better way to present visuals to a distributed audience. We’re calling it Live Sessions, and it offers you a new way to host and guide an immersive, shared, synchronized viewing experience without having to share your screen. We’ve received a bunch of feedback that screen-sharing presentations and other multimedia materials over Zoom has been making people sad. And that’s been making us especially sad, because we want people to be proud to share the things they create in Projector. Since Projector is already a collaborative _editing_ platform, we thought: why not build a better shared _viewing_ experience? Why are we sharing our screens — making our graphics look fuzzy and our videos choppy — when we could have everyone open a higher-quality, synchronized view in the comfort of their own devices? Along that line of thinking, Live Sessions was born. *How it works and why it’s cool* 1. You can create a Live Session from any visuals you create in Projector 2. Everyone in your audience opens the Session on their own device. Videos are HD and fast, transitions animate smoothly, links are clickable 3. You (as the host) get to control what your audience sees — when you move to the next slide, they move with you 4. Your audience can navigate to earlier slides on their own time. If they want to revisit something you’d said earlier, they can, and they can always sync back live. They just can’t skip ahead of the host — we don’t support spoilers! 5. Live Sessions come with video support for the host and voice chat for everyone else, but you can also choose to turn that off and use your session to accompany a Zoom meeting or a phone call *Live demo later today* Our team is hosting a live demo and Q&A session today at 1pm Pacific Time, where you can get a feel for the Live Sessions experience firsthand. If you’re interested, we’d love to have you. Just use this link to let us know if you’re planning to attend: https://4ytfijpjk9o.typeform.com... If you can’t make the demo session, no worries. All the info you need to get started is at https://projector.com/live-sessions. We’ve also designed a fresh batch of new presentation templates to celebrate our Live Sessions launch. Check ‘em out at https://projector.com/templates! Thanks, everyone! -Trevor

?makers This is so amazing. I'm done with those muffled up screens 😭 Loved the template gallery. Beautiful and covers almost all the major use cases. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations on the launch! I love emojis reactions and clickable links. Amazing!

Great product! Good luck!

I had the privilege to be a part of the early users of Live Session before their first kick-off. I am using Projector since their very first version. I saw the evolution of their UI backend to be amazing for the relevance of UX. Live Sessions is a promising solution to bring a unique experience presentation tool on the table. Congrats for launching on PH!

Great idea! With only video for the host and voice for the audience, it'll make the video quality much better and faster. Congrats on the new launch!

Wow this product is simply awesome. ?makers congrats on making such a useful tool

Cool Product, congrats on launching it on PH :)

'bout time that someone killed "I'm gonna share my screen, can you see it?"

My client was looking for a solution, I just came to Product hunt and found this, what a masterpiece

Live Sessions are really cool and I've never seen anything else like it! I'm excited for the live demo :)

No more cleaning up my tabs and desktop for guests! This really is so exciting. My creative team can always tell that we lose buy in from stakeholders when graphics quality is lost during screen sharing presentations—this is a game changer!

This looks interesting! Will check it out, congrats to the team!

This looks amazing, well done. Congrats on the launch!

will check it out

Live Sessions is my screen sharing savior! It's seamless, super hi-quality, and makes presenting an engaging experience (shocker). Really loving everything coming down the Projector pipeline.

My favorite parts of Live Sessions: the clickable links in the presentation and *not* having to use video. Such game changers!

For what it's worth this thing is fantastic. I'm always embarrassed to share design work over zoom because obviously but live sessions makes it look good and feel professional. It's very easy so yes, yes, yes to Projector!

Hey Congrats on the launch.. this is an awesome tool. Highly useful😍😍.

🔥THE PRESENTATION GAME HAS CHANGED🔥 I wish Live Sessions existed for my time as a university student and teaching assistant. Projector provides a simple yet impactful way to present powerful ideas. I've been blown away by Projector in the past, and this new release takes things to the next level. Clear videos, beautiful graphics, and smooth presentations that *actually* work... what more could I ask for? Great work, Projector! I'm so excited to see where this company goes next. 🎉
