Apple has updated its Keynote app with new collaboration improvements and support for new features in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey,
Keynote app’s new Live video feature allows users to deliver more personal and engaging presentations
The updated Keynote app allows users to give more engaging and collaborative presentations.

Mac users can connect multiple external cameras and show the screen of a connected iPhone and iPad on the slide.
