Set up & use Wear OS

1. Connect your Android phone

Install or update PPTControl on the Android phone paired with your watch. Connect the phone to your presentation computer and test a slide change.

Wear OS uses your phone’s connection. It does not connect directly to the computer or work through an iPhone.

2. Install PPTControl on the watch

Open Google Play on your Wear OS watch, search for PPTControl, and install it. Open PPTControl on both the phone and watch and keep them nearby.

Wear OS 3 or later is required. Check Google Play for the current requirements.

3. Control your presentation

1. Use Previous and Next to change slides.
2. Swipe up to reach More, then choose Notes or Slides.
3. Browse the slides, then tap a slide to show it on the computer. Scrolling alone does not change the audience’s slide.

Notes and the slide browser require PPTControl Pro on your Android phone and a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation. Slide images also need the phone and computer on the same local network.

4. If the watch does not connect

Open PPTControl on the paired phone and check that a slide button works there. Keep the phone and watch nearby, open the watch app again, and update both apps if needed.
