Professional presentation display system
NextNote transforms PowerPoint and Google Slides into a professional speaker support system for production teams in conference and broadcast environments, with custom presenter layouts, coloured cues, remote control, and dedicated next-slide output. It also adds media countdowns and build progress.
Why NextNote?
Presenters perform best when they can clearly see their script, notes, cues, and upcoming content. NextNote gives production teams the tools to deliver that confidence on stage.
| Existing Presenter View | With NextNote | |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible presenter view | ||
| Dedicated next slide view | ||
| Smooth autocue notes | ||
| Notes with highlights & colour text | ||
| Media countdown & build progress | ||
| Remote control |
Built-in presenter views use fixed layouts that don’t suit every speaker, operator, or confidence monitor.
NextNote gives you custom layouts with draggable dividers and dedicated output windows.
One speaker wants huge notes. Another wants more slide space. Changing everything manually slows down show flow and leads to inaccuracy.
Save and instantly recall layout memories for each presenter.
Standard speaker notes don't make cues like CLICK, BUILD, VT, or speaker directions stand out clearly.
Use cue markup such as {{Click}} to highlight or colour important directions.
Built-in notes views make long scripts difficult to follow and easy for presenters to lose their place.
Use a smooth teleprompter with speed control and a pointer marker.
Presentation software assumes the presenter or a graphics operator controls slides and flow.
Let a speaker's assistant, operator, or producer remotely click slides and scroll text.
Built-in next-slide previews are constrained by the standard presenter layout.
Output the next slide as a clean, full-frame display to be sent to a comfort monitor.
When a video plays, presenters and operators often don’t know how long is left.
NextNote shows media clip durations and remaining playback time.
When presenters can’t see how many build clicks remain, it’s easy to advance too far or lose confidence in what appears next.
NextNote shows the number of builds on a slide and what build you are currently on.
Existing presenter views can lag behind animations and transitions, leaving presenters unsure whether their click has registered.
NextNote updates its interface immediately a click or slide advance is received giving confidence to the presenter.
What it does
Position slides above, below, to the left, or to the right of speaker notes — or choose a notes-only view. Dividers are draggable so you can set exactly how much space each area gets.
Save up to 20 named speaker layout configurations and recall them instantly, all from the interface or via OSC. Perfect for multi-speaker events where each presenter needs a different setup.
Slide content and speaker notes are pushed the moment you advance. Don't wait for builds or animations to complete.
Smooth, speed-controlled scrolling of speaker notes with an adjustable pointer marker. All controlled from the operator interface or via OSC.
Open independent Presenter View, Next Slide, and Speaker Notes windows simultaneously — each can be dragged to a separate display and made full screen.
NextNote uses Bonjour for automatic network discovery. Display machines find the Helper instantly — no IP addresses, no manual configuration.
Use PowerPoint or Google Slides on macOS or Windows, with NextNote Display running on either platform anywhere on your local network.
Full OSC support lets operators control NextNote from a Stream Deck via Bitfocus Companion, or any OSC-capable control surface. Two-way feedback keeps Companion in sync.
Layout Memory
Save a complete snapshot of your operator layout — font size, divider position, dark mode, teleprompter settings — as a named memory slot. Recall it with a single click or an OSC command from your Stream Deck.
Up to 20 named slots. Each one can be triggered remotely, making handovers between speakers invisible to the audience.
Teleprompter Mode
Activate smooth auto-scrolling of speaker notes, with an adjustable pointer marker to show presenters exactly where to read.
Control from the operator interface, keyboard, or Stream Deck. Speed and direction can be changed on the fly without interrupting the presentation.
OSC & Bitfocus Companion
NextNote speaks OSC natively. Connect Bitfocus Companion and control everything — slide navigation, layout switching, teleprompter speed, memory recall — from a Stream Deck or any OSC controller.
Two-way feedback keeps button states, labels, and indicators in Companion perfectly in sync with what NextNote is doing.
