Mobile devices can be used for presenting to Airtame. You can stream content stored on your phone or tablet, as well as files from Box, Drive or another app. This way, if your mobile device receives a notification, receives a call or runs out of battery, your audience will not notice. The Android app leaves you completely free to move around when you are presenting, showing you details about time and the next slide.
