Client view is for presenting your designs to clients live, whether in person or over Zoom or Google Meet. It creates a dedicated link that mirrors what you're doing in Fundy Cloud, but shows your client only the designs, on a clean black background, without any of the editing tools. You keep full control while you present: change a layout, compare images or play the slideshow, and your client sees the result straight away.

Ways to present
Start a session and copy the client view link. Then choose how your client will see it:
Presenting virtually
- Open the client view link in a new browser tab.
- In your meeting, choose to share a browser tab (not your whole screen) and pick the client view tab.
- Go back to the Fundy Cloud tab to drive the presentation. Your client sees only the client view tab.
Tip: Sharing the tab rather than your whole screen keeps your editing tools, other tabs and notifications private.
Presenting in person
- Open the client view link in a new browser window.
- Move that window to a TV or larger screen connected to your computer, and make it full screen.
- Keep Fundy Cloud open on your laptop to control what's shown on the big screen.
Sending to a client's device
Send the client view link to your client so they can open it on their own phone, tablet or computer. As you work in Fundy Cloud, their screen follows along.
Start a client view session
- Open the album, slideshow or reel you want to present.
- Select Client view in the top bar.
- Turn on Sharing. The client view link appears below it, and a presenter bar appears under the top bar.
- Select Copy to copy the link, or the arrow icon to open it in a new tab.
A small preview window in the bottom-right corner shows what your client is seeing. It reads Ready until the link is opened, then Live, followed by the current view, for example Live · Logo screen.
- Once live, the preview window lists the screen size of each device viewing the link, for example 1920×902 for a computer and 440×766 for a phone.
- Select the × to close the preview window.
The presenter bar
While sharing is on, a bar under the top bar controls what your client sees:
- Ready / Live: shows whether your client has the link open.
- Logo screen: shows only your studio logo on black. Use it before you start, or to pause the presentation at any time.
- Single spread: shows one spread at a time. Select a spread in the editor to show it to your client.
- Multi-Spread: shows the whole album as a scrolling overview.
- Play album slideshow: plays the album as a slideshow with music.
Presenting an album
Switch between Single spread and Multi-Spread to walk through the album. In Single spread, the spread you select in the editor is the one your client sees, and edits you make, like changing a layout or swapping photos, appear for them straight away.
Select Play album slideshow and choose a song in Choose music to play the album as a slideshow. The music plays for both you and your client.
Presenting while comparing images
Open Compare images from the Image Well while sharing is on. The preview window changes to Live · Compare, and your client sees the photos you select, side by side on a black background, without your stars, tags or tools.
- Select a photo to show it on its own.
- Hold
⌘(Mac) orCtrl(Windows) and select more photos to show them side by side. - Rate and tag photos as you go based on your client's reactions. Only you see the ratings and tags.
Presenting slideshows and reels
Open a slideshow or reel with sharing on, and the presenter bar shows Logo screen plus Slideshow or Reel. Select Slideshow or Reel, then press play on the timeline. Your client sees the slideshow or reel full screen on black.
Tip: You don't need to send a new link. The same client view stays live as you move from the album to a slideshow or reel in the project.
Studio logo
The logo screen shows your studio logo on black. To change it, open Client view, select Change next to Studio logo, then pick a logo or select Add logo to upload one.
For a quick reminder of how everything works, select How client view works in the Client view menu.
End the session
Open Client view and turn off Sharing. The presenter bar closes.
Turn off sharing when you're done. While sharing is on, anyone with the link can see what you're working on in real time.
