Highlight on slides as you present

If you’re using Keynote Remote to control a presentation from an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you can draw on your device and have your drawing appear on the Mac that’s playing your presentation. This feature is useful, for example, if you want to emphasize a particular bullet point on your slide—you can circle the bullet point for your audience.

You can draw with one of seven different colors, or use the laser pointer.
