1. Open both apps
- Open PPTControl on your phone and PPTControl Desktop on your computer.
- Turn Bluetooth on on both devices and keep them nearby.
- Allow Bluetooth or Nearby devices access when asked.
Android 11 or earlier: also allow Location and turn the phone’s Location setting on. PPTControl does not collect your location. Google explains why Bluetooth needs Location permission →
2. Select the computer in PPTControl
- In the Connect tab, tap your computer’s name.
- Approve the request on the computer, if shown. On Mac, click Yes near the menu-bar icon. On Windows, look in the center of the screen.
Do not pair in the system’s Bluetooth settings. If you already paired there, remove only that phone–computer pairing on both devices, then reconnect inside PPTControl.

3. Try a slide change
Start the slideshow on your computer and tap the right arrow on your phone.
- Speaker notes: can work over Bluetooth with Pro and a supported presentation app.
- Slide images: need a local network. Bluetooth alone cannot send them.
