Present anything.
Controlled by everything.
SlideStage is a web-based presentation control system built for live events, kiosk displays, and broadcast production. Drive slides, videos, and live web pages from a browser, a script, a touch panel, a Stream Deck via Bitfocus, or any device that can make an HTTP request.
Everything you need to go live
From a simple image deck to a multi-screen broadcast setup — SlideStage handles it all.
Chapters & Sort Keys
Organise slides into chapters with numeric sort keys (01, 02a, 02b…). Drag-and-drop reordering keeps your deck tidy.
Dual-Screen Presenter
Open the Player fullscreen on the display and the Presenter view on your laptop — notes, next-slide preview, and a live timer.
Real-Time Sync
WebSocket-powered sync means every connected screen updates instantly when you advance a slide — no polling, no lag.
Built-In Timers
Presentation, per-slide, and per-video countdown timers. Start, pause, reset, and set duration — all controllable via the API.
Webpage Slides
Embed live websites as slides — dashboards, live feeds, or any URL. Automatic warning for sites that block embedding.
YouTube & Video
Drop a YouTube URL or upload a video file. Poster frame thumbnails are auto-extracted, and missing ones can be regenerated.
PDF & PPTX Import
Import PDF or PowerPoint files — each page becomes a slide. Google Slides exports are supported too. Place imports mid-deck with chapter control.
Connection API
Every session exposes a REST API — advance, go back, jump to any slide, control the timer. No auth required for quick integration.
Bitfocus Connection
A native Bitfocus Connection module lets Stream Deck operators control slides, timers, and blank screen — with live variable feedback.
Presenter Notes
Per-slide and per-chapter notes visible only on the Presenter screen. Configurable font size for easy reading on any device.
Image Slides
Upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF images. Next and previous slides are preloaded so transitions are instant.
Stage & Notes Screens
Dedicated Stage Display and Notes-only screens for multi-monitor setups. Font size persists between sessions.
Stream Deck control,
out of the box.
Install the SlideStage Bitfocus Connection module and your Stream Deck becomes a full presentation controller. Navigate slides, toggle blank screen, control chapter timers, and display live slide info directly on button labels.
- Next / Prev / Goto slide actions
- Blank screen toggle with visual feedback
- Chapter timer: start, pause, reset, set duration
- 11 live variables including next_slide_name
- Pre-built preset buttons for instant setup
PDF / PPTX / Google Slides
Drag-drop or browse
Insert after chapter
Place mid-deck, not just at the end
Live progress bar
Page-by-page SSE streaming
Regenerate thumbnails
Re-extract poster frames from existing videos
Import any presentation format.
Upload a PDF, PPTX, or paste a Google Slides URL. SlideStage converts each page to a high-resolution image slide and streams progress back in real time.
Choose exactly where in your deck the imported chapter lands — not just at the end. Video slides get automatic poster frame extraction, and older uploads can have their thumbnail regenerated without re-uploading.
Built for every venue
SlideStage is used in conference halls, broadcast studios, retail kiosks, and NOC rooms.
Kiosk Displays
Drive unattended lobby screens, digital signage, or museum exhibits. A hardware controller or scheduled script can cycle slides automatically.
Live Events
Conference talks, award shows, and product launches. The Presenter view keeps the speaker in sync while the audience sees the Player.
Broadcast & Production
Trigger lower-thirds, sponsor slides, or replay clips from a vision mixer or broadcast panel via the Connection API.
Live Dashboards
Cycle through live web dashboards, analytics pages, or status boards on a NOC screen — controlled remotely from any device.
