Questions

Direct answers first, details after.

• Can I share a Keynote as a link?

  Yes. Export the Keynote to HTML, upload the ZIP, get a URL that plays the real deck on any device. Free links last 3 days; Pro links never expire.

• How to send a presentation without an attachment

  Attachments bounce, get flattened, or land in spam. Send a link instead: the Keynote plays in the browser on any device. Limits: 200 MB free, 500 MB Pro.

• Does Keynote's HTML export keep music and video?

  Yes, embedded audio and video survive the export, per Apple. On a phone, Linkdeck plays video inline and holds audio until the first tap.

• Why does my Keynote look different on Windows?

  Because it was converted. PowerPoint substitutes fonts, drops Keynote-only animations and redraws effects. The fix: do not convert, send a link instead.

• How long does a Linkdeck link last?

  Free decks expire 3 days after upload (24 hours if you did not sign in). Pro decks stay up while you subscribe. What happens at expiry and how to extend.

• Do viewers need an Apple ID to open a shared Keynote?

  With iCloud, only if you restrict the link to invited people. With a Linkdeck link, never: any browser on any device, no account, no app.

• Can I share a Keynote with someone who doesn't have Keynote?

  Yes, four ways: iCloud view link, PDF, movie export, or HTML export hosted as a link. Only the last keeps builds, audio and hyperlinks clickable.

• Can I see who viewed my Keynote?

  Not in Keynote or iCloud. A hosted link can count opens, show country, device and time per slide, and collect an email before viewing. What is possible.

• Why won't my Keynote send by email?

  Most email stops at 20–25 MB, and a Keynote with video is far past it. What the limits are, what Mail Drop does, and how to send the deck as a link.

• Can I share a Keynote with someone on a Chromebook?

  Not as a .key file: there is no Keynote for ChromeOS. What works in Chrome instead (iCloud or a hosted HTML export) and which keeps the deck playing.
