Recommendation for future revision/update
1. Add option for other resolutions .. for example, I have PPTx in windowed slide show displayed on the left side of my screen in Portrait mode, with video taking up about 60%+ of screen on right side
so for me, an option for a little over 1080p tall (more than 1080pixels so I can cut off the apps bottom bar such that slide content takes up full 1080p height) in North American standard letter size [ or 8.5:11 format / ie 8.5"x11"]. And I'm guessing a similar option for A4 paper size?
- Yes, using PPTx for another purpose (not OBS) and then having to resize for OBS is tedious. I look forward to this option, if a flexible orientation and size setting is allowed
2. Agree that an option to map the slide change keys to something else less likely to conflict would be nice
For example, those arrow keys are used in OBS to change Scenes
what I really wanted was a way for OBS to automate sending a Slide Advance to PPTx. But Office 365 and changes to command line interface has made that rather difficult (compared to Office 2010 PowerPoints really simple command line interface syntax/option). In the absence of such, and in many scenarios, this will be a nice option.
and for those reading this thread, my experience is that a PPTx windowed slide show does NOT need to be an active window to do 'next slide'.
- For last year, my approach has been to put PowerPoint into Portrait orientation Windows Slide Show, and leave a small bottom portion visible on my screen. In my case, above PPTx I have my Stream provider's monitor console (preview of live stream, comments, technical details like # watching, etc), and OBS on the left side of my screen.
- I can place my mouse over the small visible portion of PPTx window and WITHOUT making PTPx the active window use the mouse's scroll wheel to advance or go back a slide. This is native WIn10 with no special mouse drivers done on both laptop and desktop
