Kiosk App

Self-service presentation access in conference rooms — no technician needed

The Slidecrew Kiosk App transforms any conference room into a speaker-ready space — without requiring a technician in the room during sessions. Designed as a fully self-operated presentation station, it allows speakers to find and launch their own files easily, even in complex multi-session events.

Whether you’re running multiple breakouts or want to reduce on-site staff, the Kiosk App makes speaker access efficient, reliable, and entirely independent.

Advanced Presenter Tools

No matter the file type, every presentation benefits from these built-in features:
