After giving Slides a good try, Raquel Piqueras shares a few things she has been missing — a simple timer, access to sharing settings from the open presentation, slide-level components, and hotkeys to streamline the work.

The last of the ten newly announced features — hide slides to skip them!

A behind-the-scenes look into the journey of launching Figma Slides. As Mihika noted, this talk could be considered the other half of her podcast with Lenny on building zero-to-one products from a few months ago.

Day 8. Improved language support in the Tone Dial.

Day 9 brings new slick transition controls to customize the duration, easing curve, delay, etc.

Day 7 drop makes it possible to add all the slides into the deck with no need to choose right away.

Day 6 of new releases with an addition of rulers to Slides.

Day 3: Add template text styles in the Design mode instead of jumping between modes.

Day 4: Click the right arrow to advance slides and play videos.

Day 2: Hit Shift‑D or toggle the right end of your toolbar to access your Design mode.

Figma Slides was launched two weeks ago, and now the team is shipping 10 improvements in 10 days. The first drop: view layers in the Design mode while in the grid view.

I don’t use Affinity apps day-to-day, but I bought a license a while ago (a glorious one-time fee!) and use it whenever I need to do something for print, convert a tricky vector from EPS, or edit a photo. It won’t replace Figma for me, but it filled a void that Adobe Creative Cloud left. They were acquired by Canva earlier this year and currently run a promotion offering a six-month free trial and 50% off all perpetual licenses ($82.99 for all apps on all platforms). Worth giving a try!

Vijay Verma shows how ​“Figma Slides” illustrations were made.

Daniel Destefanis and Soundharya Muthukrishnan: ​“Here’s a simple presentation template to share designs with your collaborators or clients and get alignment.”

Femke made a template for the presentation deck as an overview of your next design project.

Mihika shares the inspiration and the process of making one of the coolest Slides features.

I shared Lenny’s interview with Mihika a couple of months ago, but it’s worth recommending again now that it’s clear that this ​“0 to 1” product she talked about was Figma Slides.

Mihika Kapoor shares the story of taking Flides from the Maker Week pitch to reality. That team photo in the end is a poor gold. Also, see Keeyen’s demo tutorial from a year ago with an early prototype, where he pretends to be Zander Supafast.

“As a tradeoff for pixel-level control and the familiarity of their favorite toolkit in Figma, designers have gone without basic slide functionalities like speaker notes and slide transitions. Figma Slides not only addresses those core features, but amplifies design functionality, making it easier for both designers and non-designers to co-create in the same space.”

“In this video, we’ll take a tour around the Figma Slides editor so you can start creating your own presentations.”
