Allow launching a gamma in presenter mode with a URL
Laurent Duperval
I would love to launch a gamma in presenter view using a URL. The same way I can use a URL to launch one. Instead of using a URL that says
mode=doc
or mode=present
, I would like to have one that says mode=console
or mode=presenter
(or something like that) which would launch it in presenter mode.

Hi Laurent Duperval, thanks for sharing. How would this help you over and above just clicking the menu item?

Nik Payne (Gamma design) I'm doing a training with multiple modules, and each module is a self-contained gamma. But when I'm doing the training live, I want to jump directly from one gamma to the other without having to close the gamma and look for the next module.
I can put a button at the end of one gamma with the link to go to the next one, and it'll start presenting. But then when I get to certain pages where I have notes that I want to use to copy and paste, I don't have access to them unless I close the gamma, go to the presenter mode, and restart it.
If there was a way to have a link that starts the gamma in presentation mode, or if the presentation console could detect which gamma is being presented and adjust itself to control that gamma, it would make things more lively. And it would avoid me having to move around the interface to find the next module when I want to present.

Nik Payne (Gamma design) I just realized what you meant about the menu. I found out yesterday that there is a dropdown to open presenter mode. So that works. Not as seamless as I was thinking but not as clumsy as what I wrote 👆🏾.
