One of the key pieces of functionality of Slides competitors (like Canva or Google Slides) is the ability to share a slide deck with anyone, even those outside of the Figma account.

Here’s my use-case:

  • Made a slide deck in Figma Slides
  • Want to share it with my whole company and with external stakeholders (e.g. our Board)
  • These people don’t have Figma accounts
  • I can do this very easily in Canva or Google Slides
  • But it seems I have to manually invite everyone into the file in Figma slides

Other use case: I’m a consultant and want to use Figma Slides’ collaborative features with a client, but they can’t see the slides unless they have Figma accounts.


Would be great if I can use Slides in design review too. When presenting the slides to the client, I could show them the annotations too, and filter it by category. For example, I would show first my feedback then my questions or clarifications


Wanted to write about this specific topic and saw this thread.

 

I have a similar usecase. I want to use Figma Slides for designing branded slides - and I love that Figma Slides has a nice way of working with video, but when I go and want to share the slides for e.g. Colleagues, clients and partners (let's say: just to view) they still need to sign in to either Figma or their Google Account to see the presentation and go into fullscreen and all that.

 

This is a serious reason to which I am now considering to use Adobe Express (or other) instead.


@Lennart Ellegaard Users do not need to be signed up, or logged in to Figma to view files - sounds like a sharing and permissions configuration issue.
