• The TetheRingo receiver, which can be downloaded for free from http://leelusoft.altervista.org/tetheringo-powerpoint-rc.html , this app runs on your Windows PC where the presentation runs.
Mandatory requirement:
Both, the mobile device and the Windows PC must be connected to the same wireless LAN so they can discover each other.
How to set it up:
Just follow the next steps:
• Download the TetheRingo receiver to your Windows PC, open the zip file into any folder and run it (no installation is needed).
• Open your local PowerPoint app and load a presentation (no need to start the show, just open a presentation).
• From Google Play Store, download and install TetheRingo RC on your Android device.
• Make sure both devices are connected to the same wireless LAN
