🌱 🎥 zoetic

Markdown presentations using your webcam

Usage

Setup

In order to use Zoetic, you need to clone the Zoetic repository:

git clone git@github.com:kantord/zoetic.git

cd into the newly created folder

cd zoetic

Make sure to install dependencies before you try to run your slides:

yarn install

Edit your slides

Place your slides inside decks/. See decks/hello.mdx for an example. You can use Markdown in order to format your slides. In order to create multiple slides in one deck, you can use --- in order to separate the slides, for example:

# First slide

---

Second slide

Want to use React components in your slides, or other more advanced features? Consult the mdx-deck documentation.

Test and present your slides

In order to run your slides, use yarn zoetic. For example, if your slides are in decks/hello.mdx, then run

yarn zoetic hello.mdx

If you want to use zoetic in order to present on an online meeting, you have to use screen sharing. Open zoetic before joining your call and make sure your camera is turned on and zoetic has access to it. Then join your call without enabling your camera in the call.

Once you join your call, share just the zoetic window in the call. If you want to participate in the call without the slides before starting your presentation, you can simple include an empty slide.
