The clicker you
already own.
Turn your phone into a Google Slides remote in 30 seconds. Swipe to advance, read speaker notes, walk the room — no dongle to forget, no batteries to swap.
The dongle problem
Picture this: thirty minutes before your talk, you unzip your bag and realise the dongle is on your desk at home.
A 2.4GHz USB clicker runs $20-$130 and is useless the moment it's not in your pocket. The venue laptop won't pair to your Bluetooth one. The loaner from the AV desk had its batteries die in 2019.
Your phone is already in your hand. It already has internet. It already knows the layout of your speaker notes because it's logged into your Google account. The only thing missing is a button labeled "next slide."
vs. hardware clickers
Phone wins on everything except the laser pointer.

Common Questions
No. The remote connects over the internet — your phone can be on cellular, the laptop on the venue wifi, doesn't matter. As long as both have a connection, the pairing works.
Both. The remote is a mobile web page that runs in Safari, Chrome, or any other browser. Nothing to install on the phone side.
The slide already on screen stays on screen — Copresent doesn't crash your deck. Once your connection is back, the remote resumes from the current slide. For total-offline situations, a $20 hardware clicker is still the safest choice.
The Google Slides app needs you signed into the same Google account on both devices, can't share control with co-presenters, and won't show speaker notes for a deck you didn't open yourself. Copresent works for any deck open in Chrome — even one your colleague is presenting from.
Only one: laser pointers. If you need to point at the screen physically, hardware still wins. For everything else — speaker notes, multi-presenter, no batteries, no dongle to lose — the phone is strictly better.
