System Events prompts
In order for your devices to be discovered through Bluetooth, Apple has introduced the following prompt which must be allowed.

Besides granting permissions for Accessibility Access (Events) to use the device, separate access is needed for the Presentation Software features to work on supported apps such as Keynote, Google Slides, and so on.

When you open a Browser/Presentation app (regardless of the device connected), there will be a prompt (see images below) which appears once, requesting access. If you deny access, the features related to Presentation that need access to the same item will fail to work and another prompt will not be shown.

Click OK to allow access for Logitech Presentation so that you can continue to use these features. If you already clicked on Don’t Allow, use the following steps to manually allow access:

1. Click Open System Preferences.
2. Click Security & Privacy.
3. Click the Privacy tab.
4. In the left panel, click Automation. In the right panel, check the boxes under LogiPresentation to provide access, as shown below.

   

NOTE: If features still don't work, even after you have granted access, please reboot the system.
