Stage
Speaker spot
Decide slide by slide where and how large the speaker stands — and whether at all. The calculation makes a suggestion, the author approves.
A cosa serve#
A calculated spot varies between “covers the key figure” and “postage-stamp-sized at the edge”. That is why the calculation remains a suggestion; what applies is decided by the author per slide.
Come funziona#
Percorso di clicCourseSpeakers & InteractionPlacing
- 1In the workshop open “Speakers & Interaction” → “Placing”.
- 2“Where does the speaker stand on this slide?” — choose a template: bubble top right, bottom right, bottom left; half figure right or left; in a frame on the right; large right, left or in the centre; without speaker (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 “Where does the speaker stand on this slide?”: the templates from the bubble to “without speaker”, below them style and shape. - 3Under “Details” change style (bubble, half figure, large) and shape (circle, rounded, rectangle, cut out).
- 4Drag the speaker freely and change its size; logo and elements can also be moved for this slide.
- 5“Approve & next” — after the last slide “Approve & done” leads to publishing.

The suggestion and its reasoning#
For every slide the workshop calculates a spot from the slide's elements — for graphics from what is actually drawn — and gives the reason in one sentence:
- “The slide has its own placeholder for the speaker.”
- “Little content on this slide — the speaker may stand large next to it.”
- “Free space for a bubble of … % width — the slide stays whole.”
- “The slide is full — the content moves to the left, the speaker stands next to it and covers nothing.”
Slides without their own decision use this suggestion. That is a finished state: with hundreds of slides nobody has to set each one individually.
Styles and shapes#
- Bubble — small round speaker, the slide stays whole.
- Half figure — cut out next to the content; the slide moves to the side. Also “in a frame”: half figure in a rounded box with background.
- Large — over the full height on the right, left or in front of the slide in the centre (for titles and transitions).
- Without speaker — on this slide only the voice.
- Shapes: circle, rounded, rectangle, cut out; plus a crop of the figure.
Phone and tablet#
There is a separate layout for small screens. A handle shrinks the slide (down to 35 percent) so that the speaker has room next to it; the setting is saved separately.
Suggerimenti#
- Guide lines and snapping can be switched off individually (off = move freely). Four small markers on the axes of the bubble show its centre.
- Your own guide lines are created where the bubble currently stands and belong to the slide deck — so the speaker always stands in the same place across many slides and sessions.
- The dashed image area shows where the speaker is visible in the video.
- Arrow keys move finely; the box may go beyond the edge, the crop trims it as in the player.
