Super práctico y fácil de usar. Eso sí, la conexión a wifi tiene que ser estable. En ambientes chicos se conectó bien pero en aulas muy grandes no lograba agarrar señal (aún estando conectados ambos dispositivos a la misma red).

I love how simple and smooth this is! No need to download any app! All you have to do is just download the extension on your browser, open your Google Slides file (maybe you have to refresh it if it's already open) scan the QR code and your good to go! And the spotlight feature is so cool! Very helpful!

Working again with the latest updated! Connection is much smoother. Spotlight function works great and runs the same as if the logitech spotlight wireless presenter but without the hole in your wallet. Would be great if there was a option to resize the spotlight but even then its great
