Hi Jean-Michael, thanks for the hint with the qml-presentation system! For something easier (and as a Adobe Acrobat Reader replacement!) I can recommend the 'pdf presenter console' https://pdfpc.github.io/ They also provide a nice example with videos on their site, latex beamer source included. Depending on your groups abilities you may choose one or another, I think both will work.
