Showslide

About

Lectures talk at students. Showslide talks with them.

We built Showslide after noticing something every lecturer knows but rarely says out loud: students aren't ignoring their phones, they're just waiting for a reason to use them well.

So we stopped fighting the screen and made it part of the lecture.

One Link or QR code and your lectures are live on every device in the room with reactions flowing in real time.

Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

Key Features

  • Live slides on every device in the hall
  • Highlight text live, in sync on every screen
  • Built-in analytics for attendance
  • Scan to join, no account or app install
  • Raise your hand and react with like or dislike, right on the slide
  • Embedded & branded presentations

Use Cases

  • Professors open their slides as usual, share a QR code at the start of class, and that's it
  • Students scan the QR code when they walk in
  • The slides appear on their phone or laptop, live and in sync
  • They can react, question and engage without waiting to be called on or feeling put on the spot

Who it is for

Showslide is for every lecture that deserves more than silence and scrolling.

  • For professors, to turn a one-way presentation into a live, responsive session.
  • For students, to follow the slides and react, no awkward hand-raising.
  • For administrators, it's frictionless adoption.
  • Universities looking to make lectures more engaging.

We're opening Showslide to universities and we'd love yours to be next. 🎓 A small cohort of partner universities is getting free early access to Showslide right now and we're looking for the ones who believe lectures can be better. Just a QR code and your slides are live on every device in the room, reactions are happening and the lecture hall feels like a conversation. No app. No install. No IT headache. If you're a professor who's tired of talking at students, a student who wants to actually participate, or an administrator looking for something your university will use, this is for you. Apply for early access 👇 🔗 showslide.com/universities Questions or war stories from the lecture hall? Drop them in the comments.

Thank you! 👋 It started with a simple observation: nobody actually likes sitting through presentations and we do it because that's just how it's done: someone talks, slides flip, people nod, half the room is on their phone anyway. People aren't built to sit and passively listen, They're built for interaction. So we asked: what if the presentation came to them instead? Click the link or scan a QR code, open it on your phone and you're following along live. The presenter highlights something, you see it on your screen, someone reacts, the whole room feels it. It's not a slideshow anymore, it's a shared experience happening in real time, on everyone's device. We're on a mission to move the world from static to interactive-first presentations and bring the human back into the room.
