Hello! Just wanted to report my experience coming from a design interview held on Zoom. I had a different interview on Teams where I also used Slides, but didn’t experience the same issues.
- When I tried to present only the audience view while I remained on the presenter screen, the screen share would switch to my presenter screen, making them see my speaker notes. Even though I’ve specified the window to use, it’s somehow recognizing both my Figma windows as one screen
- I had to move to browser, but even then, everytime I moved to the next slide in presenter view, I had to refocus back to the audience window for it to update
- My live prototype desktop embed did not work during the presentation. I tested this on my own within the app, but when I had to switch to browser, my interactions did not work at all and I had to pull up the actual design file
- Adding speaker notes was working perfectly the other day with another deck, but while I was working on this deck, it would not let me add my own notes without first clicking on the “draft with AI” button; only then when it’s been filled with AI text can I edit it
I understand Figma Slides is still in beta, so wanted to report these bugs for improvement, and see if anyone else experienced something similar. I’ve loved it so far for personal use, but these bugs really introduced a lot of friction throughout my otherwise well-prepared interview presentation.
Thanks!
