During the presentation, simply tap on the image to start the video.
You can at any time preview your presentation by pressing play. Once it is finished, you can share it by email and on social networks. You can also embed it on your website or blog. Haiku Deck also allows you to‘Export your creation in PowerPoint, Keynote or PDF format. A real happiness.
