1. A computer implemented method performed by an electronic device connected to a plurality of other devices and comprising a display and an input device for receiving user input, the method comprising:
- receiving a first multi-touch gesture that expands a presentation to fill a screen of the electronic device, wherein the first multi-touch gesture is a reverse pinch constituted by two touches on the presentation and an increasing distance between the two touches;
causing display of the presentation at the plurality of connected devices in response to the presentation filling the screen according to receipt of the first multi-touch gesture;
preventing, after the causing, the plurality of connected devices from not displaying the presentation;
receiving a second multi-touch gesture that contracts the presentation to fill less than the screen, wherein the second multi-touch gesture is a pinch constituted by another two touches on the presentation and a decreasing distance between the another two touches; and
causing removal of the display of the presentation from the plurality of connected devices in response to contracting the presentation according to receipt of the second multi-touch gesture.
