How to Use Apple Keynote Live Video to Stream

Take advantage of Apple Keynote’s live video option and streaming options to reach and educate more people. The tutorial guide below offers a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

• Step 1: Create a Presentation

  
  Open Apple Keynote and choose whether to create a new document or work on an existing presentation. Your recent files are displayed on the Keynote homepage. You can start a new slideshow presentation by clicking on the + sign in the upper right corner.

• Step 2: Add a Live Video

  
  You can instantly add a live video to any slide by clicking on the Add Objects function or the plus (+) sign located on the main toolbar above. Click on Live Video from the dropdown menu.

• Step 3: Allow Access to the Camera

  
  When Apple Keynote shows a prompt asking permission to access your device’s camera, select OK. All Apple devices come with a built-in camera. So whether you are creating a presentation on your MacBook, iPad, or even iPhone, you can insert a live video as long as you have an updated version of Apple Keynote on your device.

• Step 4: Adjust the Live Video Settings

  
  Once you have inserted a live video to your presentation, you can make all kinds of adjustments to it using the formatting tool. Select the live video and click on the paintbrush tool in the main toolbar. Under Live Video, you can set the default camera, zoom in, zoom out, change the Mask or dimensions of the video, or adjust the corner radius according to your preferences.

• Step 5: Arrange the Video

  
  Next to the Live Video menu, you will find an Arrange button. Under this function, you can make further adjustments to your live video. Manually customize the size and position of your video, constrain its proportions, rotate or flip the video, or even lock the video itself.

• Step 6: Invite Viewers

  
  Lastly, if you wish to stream your live video or allow other people to view it in real-time, click on More in the main toolbar then hit the Use Keynote Live button. When a window prompt opens and informs you that your slideshow is ready, select Invite Viewers. Under More Options, you can add a password for more security, change the password, or copy and share the link to participants or audience members.
