Send Presentations to the Chromecast via Google Drive

Google Drive’s Presentation features may not be the most famous slideshow tool (the award goes to Powerpoint for that), but it’s free and pretty robust. Now it’s gotten slightly easier to use with Chromecast support.P

The feature’s has been tested quietly with a few users for a while, but it’s live for everyone now. From the web, you can click “Present” drop down and choose “Present on another device” which will include the option for any Chromecasts connected to the network. The only thing left to do is to convince your boss that connecting a $35 dongle to the conference room projector is easier than dragging in a laptop. Shouldn’t be that hard of a sell.
