I cannot share a keynote presentation in zoom advance screen sharing. I have no issues sharing a PowerPoint presentation. Is there a fix for this?

Got it. Can you confirm that you're able to open it in Keynote?

Also, are you able to re-save it with a simple generic name, such as 'test.key' and see if that works?

Can you confirm the issue is peristent for all Keynote files on your machine?

So .... the final result is this:

It was mandatory to create the .key as new file with the local application or export it from icloud as keynote file and not only move the original file created with the icloud keynote version from keynote file directory to another file directory. 🙂

Is your question on 'advance slide sharing' about Slide Control?

Please confirm, so we can help investigate further.

If so, please note the caveat:

When using Keynote, the presentation must be played in fullscreen view, as Play Slideshow in Window is not supported.

Hey bstrelko, yes, at the moment to use Advanced - Slides as Virtual Backgroud, the file cannot be imported .... 😞

It's possible that

a.) the previous file was corrupt or

b.) there were special characters, too many characters, or some character-specific issues with the filename that created issues

Glad you're up and running, though!

Thank you so much to open my mind and this workaround works so F.. great!!!
