Everyone that can't get it to work needs to follow the directions on the PearDeck support site. You HAVE to launch the session from Google Slides and choose interactive mode. It does NOT work for existing sessions. Even if you create the session from google slides, then close it, and reopen it again from the peardeck.com session list, it will not work. That's the only reason why I don't give it 5 stars - it would be nice if it worked if I'm reopening a current session.

I have been using PearDeck for several years and have come up with myriad ways to get beyond its limitations with animations (hidden text for pacing by paragraph) and videos (auto-start, and click-to-start) in my presentations. This power up was supposed to make my existing presentations work with the formative questions and engagement strategies I love the app for. Unfortunately, exactly nothing different happened when I downloaded and installed it. My presentations lost all of the timing (like before) and none of the other normal Google Slides functionality was unlocked. Back to the drawing board...

Didn't work as promoted. Very frustrating! I thought maybe it was because my video links were to Youtube so I uploaded videos to Google Drive. Same problem. Too bad, it was my first and last time using PearDeck. Too much time wasted.
