SquadDeck

SquadDeck — Google Slides in Squad

Brief your squad like a pro without ever leaving the game. SquadDeck puts a working presentation screen in Squad. Paste a Google Slides link and your slides show up on an in-game screen. Then walk around, face your audience and click through your deck with the keyboard or a USB presentation clicker.

Mission briefings, recruit training, clan events, tournament rules, server introductions: present them where the action is, not on a Discord stream nobody watches.

✔ Features

• Google Slides support – paste the link to any Google Slides deck and it loads straight onto the screen.
• Presenter mode – once you start presenting, the panel closes and you keep full control of your character. Walk, turn, point, and change slides at the same time.
• USB clicker support – PgUp/PgDn work, so most wireless presentation clickers work out of the box.
• Several screen types – a large billboard, a monitor and a lecture board, for a briefing tent, a classroom or a full-size outdoor briefing.
• Live slide counter – a small corner hint shows which slide you're on and the controls.
• Built-in instructions – an empty screen explains how to use it, so anyone can get started.
• Any keyboard layout – only layout-independent keys, so it works the same on QWERTY and AZERTY.
• No conflicts with Zeus – the keys are chosen so they don't clash with SquidBots Zeus.

❓ FAQ

Does it work with PowerPoint or PDF? Only Google Slides. Got a PowerPoint? Upload it to Google Drive, open it with Google Slides, and share the link.

My slides don't load? Check that the deck is shared as "Anyone with the link". Private decks can't be loaded.

Do slides update when I edit the deck? Load the link again to fetch the latest version.
