Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Pro to use privacy controls?

Private links, password protection, and download controls are Pro features. You can create a free account and upload your presentations, then upgrade when you need these options.

Who can open a private link?

Anyone who has the link can view the presentation, including someone it is forwarded to. A private link does not require a password.

How is a private link different from password protection?

A private link gives access to anyone who has the address. Password protection also requires the viewer to enter a password. Learn about password protection.

What does disabling downloads do?

It removes the option to download your presentation through Speaker Deck. Viewers can still see your slides, and it does not prevent screenshots.

Can I change privacy settings after uploading?

Yes. Open your presentation’s edit page to update its visibility and download settings. Changes cannot take back copies someone has already downloaded.
