Presentation Mode Example

Here’s an example of how to set up your Mac for presentation mode at the start of a demo:

{
  "title": "Start Presentation Mode",
  "description": "Set up Mac for presenting",
  "steps": [
    {
      "action": "macos.enableFocusMode"
    },
    {
      "action": "macos.hideMenubar"
    },
    {
      "action": "setPresentationView"
    }
  ]
}

And to restore your Mac after the presentation:

{
  "title": "End Presentation Mode",
  "description": "Restore Mac settings",
  "steps": [
    {
      "action": "macos.disableFocusMode"
    },
    {
      "action": "macos.showMenubar"
    },
    {
      "action": "unsetPresentationView"
    }
  ]
}
