Build Presentations with Pitch

TL,DR. This note introduces how we use  Pitch  to create (stunning) presentations.

Presentations. We create presentations for many use cases — to tell a  customer story ,  wireframe pages , or speak for a  masterclass . In short, we create TONS of them.

We use  Pitch  to build stunning presentations. Compared to its alternatives, Keynote, PowerPoint, or G Slides, Pitch is blazingly fast, more collaborative, and more fun to use.

Getting started

You can access Pitch from any device.  There's an app for that .

It's available  for macOS  and    Windows , and it's currently in beta    for iOS  and  Android . It's great to view presentations, comment, and react while on the go.

To get started,  create your account  with your work email @dynamicscreen.com

How we use Pitch

Workspace folders

Every team has its folder — from Customer Success to Marketing, Product, Sales, and Tech. Also, there's one folder for all-hands. You can access them all from the left panel.
fmfmerian Pro Tip: ⚡️ It's blazingly fast to use Pitch. Open the quick menu with Cmd+K and start typing to explore the workspace. Remember: you can always go back to the dashboard with G. Below is a list of super helpful  keyboard shortcuts⁠ .
