Presentations not mobile firendly

hi, I'm creating presentations with gamma to make a screen recording on my laptop with my commentary. My audience is watching for over 50 % on smartphone screens on youtube. The Text and icon size is not mobile friendly. I can't get Gamma to create a presentation with big text and big Icons that is easy to read on mobile devices. Can you add an option here?

Hey Marcus Mokros, for what it's worth—I believe the font size should always be 16+ on mobile (a standard online font size) when you have medium fonts selected in page setup. Large should be larger.
I would make sure you're not using scale to fit so that fonts aren't scaled down.
You can also bump up the "base font size" in your custom theme, to make it up to 25% larger.

Hi Marcus Mokros, have you tried using the zoom controls while presenting?
If these don't suit your needs, could you share an example of what you've made and some additional description about what you'd like to change?

Hi Alison (Design @ Gamma) , thanks for your reply. The goal is to create a Powerpoint presentation that is optimized for audience watching from smartphones. I made the same script als presentation and social media post. there is too much and to small text and icons as presentation. The Social Medial post goes in the right direction. I think the problem is that everyboday creates and presents presentations from the Desktop computer and does not think about the audience on Youtube that need less and bigger fonts.

So it seems like you'd like:
- The layouts to have the image on the top and the content below it
- The text and icons bigger
For #1, you can try swapping the layout. For #2, you can try changing the font size in page setup and it should scale everything.
