Update LESS version for Custom CSS
Newer features like Properties as Variables (http://lesscss.org/features/#variables-feature-properties-as-variables-new-) throw a syntax error in the custom CSS editor.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion. We’ve updated to LESS 3.8.1 now so all newer features should work. Let us know if you run into any issues because of the update.

Better iframe error messaging
Improve error messaging when embedding iframes into a deck.
Right now, if I embed an iframe that causes it to not load via setting a bad X-Frame-Options value it shows the same message if the iframe fails to load because of a mixed content error (e.g. trying to embed an HTTP page inside a frame on an HTTPS page)
Would be great if I this could be improved. Spent 15 frustrating minutes messing about with X-Frame-Options before I realised it was mixed content and the message was too generic!
1 voteThanks for reporting this Joe!
We already had an error message in place for mixed content but it was being replaced by the X-Frame-Options message. We’ve changed it so that the mixed content error takes precedence.
Let me know if you have any more comments on how that works.

Make Buttons and Text optional in Presentation mode - e.g. enabled full screen button, disabled share button and by author line
Status quo: There are 3 styles to choose when embedding the iframe.
1. Dark style with by author line, share and full screen button
2. All the same but in Light
3. Hidden. All Elements are hiddenWhy is it useful to make the elements (by author line, share and full screen button) optional?
E.g. our use case is to embed the slides on our page as teaching material.
Of course it's really useful for the students to make the slides bigger --> full screen, but as there is already our logo on our web page we don't want the…6 votesHey! We’ve added two new embed options that let you hide the byline and share button. Try generating your embed code again with both of those options turned on and you should only see the fullscreen button in the footer.
Thanks for the feedback!

Bug: Subscript and superscripts (sub/sup HTML tags) should make text smaller
Using HTML editor on developer mode I add some sub and sup HTML tags, for example to add an exponent. The text is moved up/down but with the same font size. Maybe this Wikipedia text is helpful: "the superscript is about 60% of the original characters, raised by about 44% above the baseline".
1 voteThanks for the feedback! We’ve made sub/super slightly smaller now. We use the same relative size as Chrome (“font-size: smaller;”).

Copy to clipboard from code snippets
I show code snippets a lot, and it would be convenient for the audience to be able to have a copy-to-clipboard option. Yes, they can drag and select, but for larger code samples, that's awkward.
1 voteThis has been added 🚀
If you hover over a code block anywhere outside of the editor, a blue Copy button will appear in the top right corner.

Support reveal's lazy loading feature
https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#lazy-loading
I use a lot of images and iframes, so this is essential. It ought to be the default (and maybe it is).
1 voteWe use reveal.js’ lazy-loading with the default viewDistance setting (3) for all Slides presentations. I don’t think it makes sense to expose viewDistance as a setting since it’s not something most people need to think about.

Zoom on workspace
Sometimes when working on small details it would be nice to be able to zoom on the workspace. Of course I can zoom with the browser, but this also increase the size of the sidebar, which can be quite annoying depending on the zoom level.
44 votesYou can now zoom into the Slides editor! Available via keyboard shortcuts (+/-/0), trackpad pinch gestures and mouse wheel (hold shift).

Hide some slides in presentation mode
As a speaker I want to be able to hide some slides from being shown in live mode (during presentation).
38 votesHey! We have added support for hiding individual slides now. The quickest way to hide the current slide is to press CMD+H (CTRL+H on Windows). Alternatively, you can open the arrange mode (ESC) and click the eye symbol the slides you want to hide.
Deactivated slides are only visible inside of the editor. They are removed from all other presentation views, including live present page.
Please let us know if you notice any errors!

Sync video in live mode
The new video functionality is great! In order to use non-autostart videos in the speaker view mode, it would be good if starting the video in speaker view would also trigger a start in the live view. If cumbersome to arrange with controls, it is enough to have an option "play on click".
3 votesThis has been added! Playing, pausing or seeking a non-autoplaying video will now sync to all live viewers.

Turn off slide motion animation
Turn off the animation between slides. It would be really nice to turn off the slide animation for some presentations.
4 votesThis is already possible. If you open the “Style” panel in the left sidebar of the editor, there is a section where you can change the slide transition. One of the slide transition options is ‘none’ which removes all of the sliding transitions.

add the ability to include alternative text descriptions for images added to slides
One of the options in the add images page should be a text field for adding alt text. This option would map to the alt attribute of the image being added. If left blank, the alt attribute for that image would be empty. Adding this option and subsequent attribute would make the presentation more accessible, and allow the deck to meet spec for HTML.
11 votesWe now support adding alt text for images! Look for the “T” symbol when an image block is selected. (This was actually added in October 2018 but we missed closing the suggestion, sorry!)

Group Objects
Grouping multiple objects would make it easier to manage complex slides. Also adding the option of applying settings on multiple objects like font size / color/ class
267 votesWe now support grouping! The quickest way to create a group is to select multiple blocks and press CMD+G/CTRL+G. Alternatively, you can right-click and select “Group” from the context menu. Groups can be nested within one another too.

If you have a Pro account you can export to PDF and include that in an email. http://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/496994-export-to-pdf-pro
We don’t support exporting to PPT but in terms of email portability PDF should be even better.

Inline math equations.
You would be able to specify inline math using
$symbol, (just like in IPython notebook markdown). I'm really tired of putting spaces in my paragraphs to make room for symbols.67 votesWe’ve added support for inline math! It previews right within the editor, as soon as you finish editing the text.
