SlideCue
The slide trigger and position, from the master to everyone. A small app, the same on every machine, that runs minimized: you just choose the role — master, slave or notes. The master reads the real PowerPoint and sends the others the trigger and the position (slide and animation click); the others follow with their own PowerPoint (or with SlideCue's PDF viewer: full screen on the external display and “Now” and “Next” on the internal one), the presentations folder stays identical on all of them, and the notes machines open with the monitors already set up. The physical cue light is the one connected to the master: no light appears on screen here.
Tool PackThe “Presentation Pack” icon opens a panel with Cue Timer, SlideCue, Cue4All and ShowPresenter (the ones that are installed). It comes in this installer (since v1.7.1). See the pack.
New nameCue Light is now called SlideCue (the old name sounded like a light). If you have Cue Light 1.7.x, install this version over it — or press “New version · update” in the window — and you keep everything: role, settings, presentations folder and Windows startup; the old shortcuts and program are replaced automatically. Machines on 1.7.x and 1.8 talk to each other, so you can update one at a time.

v1.13.1 · 12 Nov 2026 · Windows 10/11 · new: “Stage Monitor” role (speaker's notes, NOW/NEXT, timer and messages on one screen, with a control panel on the main screen when you have 2 screens; layouts saved per event); network without hassle (firewall rules per role, only Private and Domain networks, and a Network diagnostic); a steadier link (a lost master is noticed in ~2.5 s and the machine re-syncs by itself); 1.13.0: new: the app speaks English (PT | EN buttons at the top of the window, or your Windows language if you do not choose; Portuguese stays as it was); 1.12.0: new: it also does what Vigia de Slides used to do: an “On-screen Timer” section (the control room's time on top of everything, without stealing focus), with position, size, margin and screen chosen in the control room and falling back to the main screen; “Import from Vigia”; if Vigia is running, SlideCue stays silent; 1.11.1: new: “Notify the Cue Timer control room” box (control room IP, “Import from Vigia”): when the slide changes, the machine notifies the control room in all three roles, without a second read of PowerPoint; it comes off by default (on the Mac, Vigia de Slides carries on); 1.11.0: new: on the master you choose the network (the IP) where the server starts, from a list of adapters, and the choice is remembered; the master shows the address in use and warns if the IP disappears (cable or USB); the slave and the notes machines look for the master on all networks; 1.10.2: new: when you close the presentation on the master, it sends the close order and the slaves and notes machines close by themselves (an Esc only warns); closing by order no longer asks “save?”; 1.10.1: fixed: the slave and the notes machines no longer close the presentation by themselves (if the master ends, they only warn; they close on order), new option “Close the machines when the master ends” off by default, and advancing never goes past the last slide; 1.10.0: new: the window is a page that adjusts to the text (nothing cut off) and can be resized; “EXTERNAL advance” per machine (USB cue or command: the app doesn't touch the slides on that machine); the “closed without an order” warning says whether it was on the last slide or midway; before: “Notes control” button (see and adjust, on your monitor, the Presenter View that is on the external screen); before: slide sync switch (turns on/off the others following when you move a slide on the master, to use an external cue); before: the master warns when a slave closes the presentation without an order; before: the slave stops closing by itself (it never goes past the last click of the slide); before: more resilient with Companion (closing no longer makes the slaves reopen, opening a heavy file no longer makes them close, opening A and then B leaves only B, the same button twice in a row counts as one); before: with a video playing, the slaves no longer close by themselves; a slave that starts while the master is already presenting always joins in; after updating, it reconnects by itself with the machine's role; the slave advances step by step so animations and click-triggered videos play; buttons in Companion to open and close the presentations in the folder, with slide x of y and the time left on the videos; installs over the old version and keeps everything

Installation: extract the zip (it contains an
Instalar_Modulo_Companion.bat next to the module folder) and run that .bat — it copies everything to a fixed place by itself and tells you exactly which path to put in the Companion launcher's "Developer Modules Path" (Developer tab, "Enable Developer Modules"). Restart Companion and add the "SlideCue" connection in Connections: the address of the PC where SlideCue is the master and port 4646 (in that PC's firewall, allow TCP port 4646). The presentation buttons, slide x/y and video time are in Presets, ready to drag.
What's new by version
Each version has its own address: slidecue.html#v1.13.1
v1.13.1 · 12 Nov 2026 · WindowsNew: the “Stage Monitor” role for the stage manager. One screen with the speaker's notes, NOW and NEXT (title and thumbnail) from the master's PowerPoint, the timer and the control room's messages. With 2 screens the stage screen stays clean on the external monitor and a control panel on the main screen drives everything live: text size, notes scrolling, messages and layouts saved per event. Also: the installer sets up the firewall rules per role (Private and Domain networks only) and the app has a Network diagnostic; a lost master is noticed in about 2.5 s and the machine reconnects and re-syncs by itself. Installs over the old version and keeps everything.
v1.13.0 · 10 Nov 2026 · WindowsNew: SlideCue now speaks English. PT | EN buttons at the top of the window (or your Windows language if you do not choose); everything the app writes switches to English and Portuguese stays as it was. Installs over the old version and keeps everything. Still only in Portuguese: the technical PowerPoint and Windows messages, the PDF viewer and the app’s log (agente.log).
v1.5.0 · 10 Nov 2026 · Companion moduleLanguage option (English / Português) in the module settings (“Language / Idioma”, Português by default). Buttons you have already configured in Companion do not change: only the texts the module shows change.
What's included
Three roles, one appMaster, slave or notes — the same installer on every machine, and the role is chosen in the window. It runs minimized, in the tray, and can start with Windows.
Trigger and positionThe master reads the real PowerPoint and sends everyone the trigger (start at the same time, stop, or a free cue) and the position: the slide and the animation click. The others put their PowerPoint exactly there.
Same folder everywhereWhat you save in the master's presentations folder reaches the other machines, and the master always warns when it touches anything. It never swaps a file that is being presented.
Buttons in CompanionThe master sniffs out the folder and the module makes one button per presentation: one tap opens it on all machines, another closes it. It shows slide x of y and the time left on the slide's video.
Notes with the right monitorsWhen PowerPoint opens, the presentation goes to one monitor and the Presenter View (the notes) to another — or swapped, on machines whose screens are the other way round.
