Takeaways

A Takeaway puts a note or links on your audience's phones while a slide is up. It does not collect votes or add a chart to the slide, so you can keep your own slide design.

Use it for a reading list, a worksheet, a follow-up action or links people would otherwise have to photograph.

Create a takeaway

1. Select a slide without a Doppio item and open the sidebar.
2. Under Send to their phones, choose Takeaway.
3. Add a title, message or link.
4. Click Save takeaway and wait for saving to finish.

Field	Limit	Required?
Title	200 characters	Optional
Body	2,000 characters	Optional
Links	Three links, each with a label of up to 120 characters	Optional

At least one field must contain useful content. A title alone, a body alone or a valid link is enough. Click Add a link for another resource, and use its remove control to take it out.

URLs must begin with https://. Invalid links are flagged and will not be delivered; correct them before saving, even if other content lets you save the takeaway.

What appears on the slide and phones

Doppio places nothing on the slide for a takeaway. Add your own heading or content in Google Slides if you want a visible reminder of what that slide does.

During a live session, phones show the takeaway's title, body and link buttons when you reach its slide. Links open in a new tab, so people can return to the session afterwards.

For a timed activity with instructions and resources, use a timer and its audience brief.

Editing, copying and deleting

Select the slide to reopen the takeaway. Click Save takeaway after making changes. Delete opens a confirmation before removing it; the Google Slides slide remains.

Use Copy from another slide to make a similar takeaway elsewhere in the deck.

Takeaways are available on every plan. See Plans & limits.
