To do this in ProPresenter 6, click the document icon in the Editor sidebar, and then ensure that Background is turned off or set to clear.

Then, click the slide icon, and ensure that each slide's background is turned off.

Transparent Background in ProPresenter 7

To do this in ProPresenter 7, go to Edit mode. Click the Presentation tab in the Edit mode sidebar, and ensure that the Background checkbox is turned off.

Then, click the Slide tab, and ensure that each slide's Background checkbox is turned off.

Check Alpha Key Settings

If slides are still not showing up transparent in Ecamm Live after ensuring that slides are transparent, check the alpha key settings in the Screen Configuration window.

Screen Color

And finally, ensure that the Screen Color checkbox is not checked in the top corner of the Screen Configuration window.
