What are the templates designed for?

Official templates help you prepare interactive presentations for training, meetings, classes, and workshops. Community templates are created by users and shared to inspire others.

How do I host a session using a template?

Select a template, customize it by editing slides, themes, multimedia, and settings, then host it just like any other presentation.

Do I need to pay to use templates?

All templates are free to download and host, but some may exceed the free plan limits (5 quiz questions or 3 polls), which require a paid plan.
