About
Elevate your presentations and captivate your audience with our new Interludes feature! Effortlessly create dynamic slides to welcome guests or display during breaks with our user-friendly templates and real-time countdown timer. We offer a collection of aesthetic backgrounds to choose from, or you can get creative by uploading your own visuals and creating your own text.
Explore two types of Interludes:
Reception: Set the tone of your event perfectly by creating reception slides with inspiring images or motivational videos to welcome guests as they gather in the room.
Break: Enhance your meeting breaks with fun visuals and a dynamic countdown timer. Whether it's halfway through the event or a planned break time, these slides keep everyone informed about when the break ends and encourage a timely return to the meeting room.
