Available Helpers Bar

The Available Helpers bar lists PowerPoint and Google Slides Helpers discovered on the local network. Each Helper appears as a card showing its machine name and current state. Click a card to select it and display its presentation content.

Use Add Helper to manually add a Helper by IP address if automatic discovery is unavailable. Disconnect stops using the selected Helper and cancels any active retry. It does not permanently remove a Bonjour-discovered Helper.

Presentation Details Panel

The right-hand panel shows the presentation name and current slide position. Additional information, such as builds or media timing, is shown when available.
