Add a prototype to a slide Interact with prototypes Click through prototypes as a presenter Allow audience members to click through prototypes

Before you Start

Who can use this feature

Available on any plan

Anyone with can edit access to a slide deck and at least can view access to the prototype file can add prototypes to slides

To interact with prototypes while viewing a presentation, audience members must be logged in to their Figma account, have at least can view access to the slide deck, and have at least can view access to the prototype file.

You can add clickable prototypes from Figma Design to your slide deck. Use prototypes to give your audience a realistic demos, facilitate user research sessions, or get alignment on product decisions.

There are a few things to keep in mind when adding a prototype:

  • Anyone with can edit access to a slide deck and at least can view access to the prototype can add a prototype into a slide. Learn more about setting file permissions.
  • Audience members must be logged in to their Figma account, have at least can view access to the slide deck, and have at least can view access to the prototype file to be able to interact with the prototype. Learn more about preparing slide decks for your audience.
  • If the prototype file is password protected, it cannot be added to a slide.
  • You can resize prototypes on slides but you cannot modify the aspect ratio.

Add a prototype to a slide

To add a prototype to a slide:

  1. Click Live interactions in the toolbar.
  2. Select Prototype.
  3. Choose from your recent prototypes or insert a prototype link from Figma Design.
  4. Configure your prototype:
    • If you linked to a page with more than one prototype flow, use the Flow setting in the right sidebar to select which flow should be added to the slide
    • If you link to a prototype with a device frame, you can disable the frame by toggling the Device frame setting in the right sidebar.

Note: You cannot change the device frame type in Figma Slides. To use a different device frame, update the prototype file in Figma Design and add your prototype to the slide again.

Interact with prototypes

When presenting a slide deck that includes clickable prototypes, presenters can click through the prototype themselves, or allow audience members to click through the prototype themselves.

Click through prototypes as a presenter

You can click through prototypes in the presenter view window. If you’re sharing your screen using a video conferencing tool, audience members will be able to see your progress as you interact with prototype hotspots.

Allow audience members to click through prototypes

You can enable your audience to click through prototypes while viewing a presentation. This is great for letting stakeholders explore prototypes at their own pace. 

To interact with prototypes while viewing a presentation, audience members must be logged in to their Figma accounts, have at least can view access to a slide deck, and have at least can view access to the prototype file.  

Audience members without access to the prototype will be prompted to request access or switch to a different account if they attempt to interact with the prototype while viewing the presentation. To prevent this, grant your audience members access to the prototype before starting your presentation.
