Question

Figma Slides – share a plain 'Audience' link, without the ability to open in Figma, view slide notes, or add comments

I’m wondering if this is a bug.

Sharing a ‘Presentation link’ gives the recipient a view-only view of the working Figma file along with notes. Makes sense if there are other presenters and they need to see the notes too.

Sharing an ‘Audience link’ gives the recipient a view-only view of the slides. However, it also allows them – who will very often be a client – to click a button at the top to open a view-only version of the Figma file along with all of the presentation notes.

Unfortunately, it’s currently not fit for purpose to share a link with clients, as there’s no way to send it purely for viewing without all the additional UI options to open in Figma and view notes etc.}

Ideally, there needs to be a sharable ‘Audience’ view of the slides where all that can be seen is the slides – no extras, no ‘sign in’, no ‘add comments’ (ideally this can be switched on OR off), and definitely no ‘open in Figma Slides’. Just a view of the slides, and that’s it.

Figma, get on it and fix this.

Give me the ability to remove the UI, especially the ability for the recipient to open the deck in Figma slides.

It’s fixed! When in presentation view you can now share and get the audience link. You may also be able to get this view from the other Share link entry points.

It’s not fixed. Anyone with the link can open the presentation in an unlogged in version of Figma slides and see the presenter notes.

Good clarification! My need is met in that I can now send an audience link and embed a presentation without the thumbnails showing. (Also on mobile I don’t think you can get to that UI to login.) But if you want to completely prevent accessing the slides view then you’re right more work is needed!
