How to use the AhaSlides app

Hosting an AhaSlides presentation on Zoom

To host an AhaSlides presentation on Zoom, follow these steps:

  1. Open the AhaSlides app in your Zoom Apps, or start a new Zoom meeting and launch AhaSlides from your Zoom Apps.

  2. Select Host a presentation and log into your AhaSlides account.

Only the host needs an account; participants can join without one.

  1. Choose a presentation from your list or inside a folder and Allow screensharing.

  2. Select Allow to send invitations to all the meeting participants

Participants who join the meeting later will be automatically invited.

  1. Run your AhaSlides presentation as usual, and your audience will respond live within the Zoom meeting. Their responses will be collected and displayed on your shared screen.




Tip: Hosts can invite participants to use the AhaSlides app by clicking the arrow icon at the top of the app. This shares a link to the Zoom App Marketplace with all participants.

Participating an AhaSlides presentation on Zoom
