How To Mirror Flip PowerPoint Slides

Mirror flipping PowerPoint slides is easy…IF you know how. In this guide, I’m going to take you through several simple techniques to mirror flip your slides without manually editing each one.

This guide will make it super simple to deliver your speech or presentation in PowerPoint using a teleprompter or beamsplitter glass.

List Of Techniques

  1. Flip Your PowerPoint slides using a converter box. Simply plug your laptop or iPad (with adapter) into a HDMI MirrorBox and it will flip your signal automatically.
  2. Use a Samsung TV and enter the service menu to turn on mirror flipping. Make sure you’re using a Samsung model 5300 or above. To enter the service menu, turn off your TV and press the following buttons on a standard remote: Mute + 182 + power to turn it back on. When it loads, you’ll see the service menu–just change the H Flip option. Turn your TV back off and on again, and it will be in mirror mode. The most popular Samsung models that support this are the N5300 (1080p) and Q50R (ultra thin, 4k).
  3. A lot of people ask, “if I plug my laptop or tablet into the screen can it mirror film it?” Yes, provided it’s specifically a Samsung TV (model N5300 or above). You can also plug Android and iPad tablets into a TV screen through the USB-C or lightning port using an HDMI to USB-C cord.
  4. Ironically, it’s easier to flip PowerPoint on a Mac or MacBook laptop than on a PC. The mirror flip function is supported within MacOS, but you’ll need a program to unlock this feature. We developed a simple utility for MacOS, so if you’re using a Mac, you can mirror flip your screen using our Mac Mirror Flip Utility
  5. Connect your Mac using the app Air Display. This handy app allows you to project your Mac onto an iPad and also supports built-in mirror flipping.

    xrandr –output –reflect-x

    export DISPLAY=:0.0 && xrandr –output $a –reflect x

    xrandr -x (will flip de video horizontally like a mirror.)

    xrandr -y (will flop de video vertically.)

    xrandr -y -x (will both flip and flop (= invert).)

    xrandr -o (inverted will…invert O.o)

    xrandr -o (normal will return to normal the video)
