Figma Launches New Presentation Tool: Figma Slides 256

Figma has launched a new presentation creation tool called Figma Slides, which allows multiple users to collaborate on the same presentation in real time. Team members can edit, comment, and communicate simultaneously. It offers many ready-made professional templates that you can freely mix and match as needed to create new templates. With Figma Slides, design and prototyping in Figma Design are seamlessly integrated. Users can directly insert and showcase interactive prototypes within the presentation, and collect audience feedback in real time, making presentations more interactive and vivid.

Figma Slides' presentation mode supports presenter notes and real-time interaction. You can share the presentation link to let the audience engage without manually switching slides. The tool is currently in beta and is available to anyone with a Figma account.
