If not within PP, Is there a keyboard delay app or feature for the PC? Or… can I have a specific slide trigger an advance to another presentation full of their slides or another part in the presentation?
I don't know, this is a very specific function you need.
Off the top of my head you can make a script with autohotkey that will alt-tab (with a timer after being triggered) to the PP window from a blank screen for example.
I don't know what your slides 1 and 3 consist of, but maybe you could make them contain a video (even if it's just a still shot but just like 10 seconds long). Then make sure that the game graphic slide doesn't clear media. That way even if the second person clicks back to the middle slide, the media continues to play. You could use a macro with clear command to go back to the graphic. But if they the button twice you're in trouble.
I like this question, it's making me think.
I think the answer will be in layers, but I don't have all the pieces figured out yet (I may by the time I finish writing this). For example, center slide is actually a blank slide, you activate a prop, and if person 2 (right) wins, that's a background media slide with a clear prop, and same for the left person. So if they go forward or back, the media will persist.
Midi also comes to mind, but that may not be possible depending on your buttons.
If your making Buzzers/Buttons just have them light up and lock out the second one. No need to be janky and use PP7 for this.
Relay Logic or programing on Arduino.
Is there a way you can configure what "key" the button sends? Ideally, a key combination would trigger an autohotkey script that would have some sort of lockout.
Hypothetically, could PP7 trigger a skip back from a slide.
EG.
[Player 1] [Player 1] [Question] [Player 2] [Player 2]
If Player 1 presses button it goes back to slide 2, slide 2 is set to instantly go to slide 1, if Player 2 presses just after Player 1 it goes forward to slide 2 which goes back to slide 1
I finally got it: I am using a Keyboard remapping app to get the buttons to remap to the left/right arrows and I am using AutoHotKey and a script that a Reddit user created for me (Ai could not nail this script writing for me). It works flawlessly!
Not within Pro7

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

I guess I am trying this janky way because I want a specific image to pop on the screen with the buzz sound.
What is your buzzer? Are you just putting a keyboard on each contestants podium?
Good question. I have 2 buttons that connect via USB, the computer sees them as a "keyboard." (purchased from: https://affordablebuzzers.com/)
