This is fantastic. Offered a really simplified way for volunteers at my church to run the livestream. However, normal key commands for powerpoint no longer work. In presenter view I have to double click to advance the slide. I really would like to have right and left arrow for advancing slides at least. Is there a way to fix this?

We have been using this PowerPoint macro in conjunction with the OBS script "Control Visca-over-IP based cameras" 2.1 for approximately 2 yrs. with great success. When using presenter mode, we only need to double click one time at the beginning to advance the slides. Thereafter we use the keyboard arrows. I don't know if you are aware that PowerPoint macros turn off the numeric keypad. Therefore any keyboard hotkeys which were setup using the keypad will not work. There is a VB code to turn the numeric keypad back on, but I was never able to make it work when I attempted to add it into the macro. We simply only use the keyboard numbers.
