This support article from Apple describes how to get the Apple software portions of this workflow configured. This sounds complicated, but once you have everything setup it’s actually pretty straightforward. To “drive” / advance a presentation with an Apple Watch, you have to use Keynote software on a MacOS laptop/desktop, have the iOS app for Keynote open on an iPhone AND ‘linked’ to the laptop, AND have your Apple Watch open to the Keynote app. I like presenting with that kind of confidence, and eliminating the chances of video playback latency / delays. While Internet speeds have increased and the option to tether with 4G/LTE cellular data is much better in lots of places, it’s still the “most reliable” procedure to have all the videos for a presentation downloaded and directly included in your presentation slides. The most reliable option was to download the YouTube videos I wanted to share in advance, and embed them in a Keynote presentation. For years when I was a fulltime educational technology presenter and consultant, I preferred using Keynote and embedded movies because at that time (pre-2015) fast Internet access including YouTube being unblocked on school content filters could be “sketchy” in many places. I also like how I can make videos start immediately or after a mouse/device click in Keynote. A solution to this is to download YouTube videos you’re sharing with a free website like, and then embed those videos directly into Keynote software on a desktop or laptop computer. I often use my iPad at school to AirPlay mirror my screen to a projector or television during class, but sometimes we have latency / delay in our network playback for YouTube videos and when you’re watching “A roll” / headshot video of someone speaking, this can be distracting and irritating. (I have all my Digital Literacy / Media Literacy focused slideshows for school shared on the homepage of my lesson website, btw.) Google Slides also lets users download slideshows in PowerPoint format, which can be opened in either MS PowerPoint or Apple’s Keynote software. Google Slides have fewer comparable features than Microsoft PowerPoint or Apple’s Keynote software, but they are readily sharable and also play well on any device. I love developing my presentation slides for classes, workshops, and keynote addresses using Google Slides. “ Presenting inKeynote with Apple Watch” ( CC BY 2.0) by Wesley Fryer
