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.

We’ve added support for image cropping! Select an image and look for the crop symbol in the sidebar to try it out. Here’s a quick screen recording showing it in action: https://static.slid.es/support/crop-image.mp4
We added a couple of new image options at the same time, including the ability to disable the enforced aspect ratio and resize an image freely.
Please let us know if you run into any errors and we’ll make sure to fix them.

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.

Animation effects for elements
Have you planned to add animation effects to the elements? It's the only thing missing to make your software even more awesome than it is and compete with Keynote. Cheers
94 votesNow you can add animations to elements! There’s a few different preset intro animations to pick from and you can freely control the duration/delay.
This option is available in the sidebar when an element is highlighted: https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.slid.es/support/sidebar-animation.png

Select multiple images and then set border on all of them at once
When i use multi selection, border icon disapear. It will be faster for me to shift click on all the images and then select the border I want to apply
1 voteThis was enabled some time ago when we added support for bulk-editing all shared properties of the currently selected blocks.

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.

Add JSX syntax highlighting
I'm making a presentation on React and I'm using JSX syntax for code samples. The Javascript highlighter doesn't do a good job highlighting jsx.
4 votesSelecting the JavaScript language option works for JSX as well.

Change profile photo without gravatar
A common strategy for signing up for services online is to add an identifier in the email.
e.g: john+Identifier@email.com
For accounts registered in this way gravatar can not find the photo/email. Having a fallback to gravatar in order to upload the photo would be great.
20 votesWe have added the ability to upload profile pictures.
Gravatar—our previous third party solution for profile pictures—is now only used as a fallback if you haven’t uploaded a picture.

Deactivate single slides
Hi there.
Working on a presentation it would be great to set single slide visible / unvisible.For e.g. i show the presentation with slide for real people i don'Ät need to show a slide about myself with picture etc..
When publishing later the presentation for all users which see the presentation i could be able to activate the slide with my portfolio / vita / picture.
So i can stay in the same presentation and do not need to make a duplicate of the presentation with some more or less slides in it.
For e.g. adding a button on…
102 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 PDF exports.
Please let us know if you notice any errors.

easier to put in pictures
I want to be able to just copy and paste pictures in my presentation instead of screen shoting something and then having to download it from my drive.
1 voteHey. It’s already possible to copy and paste images directly from your clipboard. Here’s an example where I right click to copy and press CMD+V to paste in the Slides editor: http://static.slid.es.s3.amazonaws.com/social/slides-copy-paste-image.gif
Note that this only works if you haven’t already copied a block of content inside of the Slides editor. If you’ve already copied a block you can reload the editor. Those two conflict because we have our own copy-paste logic in the editor and can not tap into the operating system’s own logic.

Copy individual slide between decks
Making slides is usually a matter of copy-and-paste from an old deck into a new deck (at least in Powerpoint). Copying is either a selection of elements from a slide, or one or more complete slides.
However I found it impossible to do copy-and-paste between different decks at slides.com. It is possible to clone an existing one - but what if it is too late or I want to copy from multiple sources?
4 votesIt’s now possible to easily copy Slides from any of your other decks. If you’re a member of a Slides Team, you can browse and insert individual slides from other team members too.
More info about inserting slides from other decks can be found here: https://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/583992-how-do-i-copy-slides-between-decks

Page numbers on slides
Add the option to have page numbers at the bottom of each slide (separate from the progress bar setting).
People viewing a presentation could then refer to particular slides by number when they ask questions.
87 votesWe added support for page/slide numbers! It’s a per-presentation setting that you’ll need to turn on. Oh, and it works with PDF exports too!

Give us an option to not preload a slide
I have a large presentation file with many iframes to demo content within.
This causes the load of the presentation to lag whilst it spends ages preloading all of the content.
Either give us a global switch to not preload or perhaps a control within the 'iframe' option that allows us to determine if the content is preloaded or loaded when the slide comes into view.
1 voteJust confirmed this to be working. Iframes are only loaded for the three nearest slides. This is checked every time you navigate, if a new iframe appears within the 3-slide distance it will start loading.

Enhanced performance of GIF files
… Would be great if GIFs only played on page load rather than playing constantly. They often end up half way through when you get to that slide.
10 votesGIFs now start playing when their containing slide is shown. This ensures they’ll always start from the beginning.
This logic is applied to both on-slide and background images. However restarting GIFs used as background images does not work in Firefox.

Insert Video
Include movies in a presentation
41 votesWe’ve added support for video! You can either upload a video from your file system or point to an external video URL.
Let us know if you have any feedback.

Slide collections/folders for organizing and easier private sharing
It is hard to organize a lot of slides, and share many private slides. It would be great to be able to make a collection or folder of slides (per class, for example) and share that collection with one shareable link, rather than each individual slide.
Being able to sort would also be good (even if it's alphabetical).
61 votesHey! We’ve made it possible to organize decks using tags. Each tag has a unique URL so that you can share them. You can control which tag that’s shown by default when someone goes to your profile page too.

Custom autoplay timing for each slide
Should be able to define a custom timing for each slide.
Bring us the best of dead Sliderocket!21 votesYou can now customize the autoplay duration on a per-slide basis. This and a few other slide-specific options are available in the new “Slide Settings” menu. More info and examples here: https://slides.com/news/slide-settings/
