Just a datapoint but Microsoft Teams (most commonly paired with users of Powerpoint) has an option to share and present just a slide deck where viewers can tag along the presenter or jump forward and back to view the rest of the deck independently from presenter.

But in quite a few cases presenter would want to control when information is presented/revealed to audience.

The (MS Teams) feature is very cool and potentially useful, but: it only works on certain types of meetings/calls, and the way it’s implemented, people get lost, because they start playing with their slides, and then it’s not clear they can press the “Live” button to sync up again, so then they end up interrupting the speaker to say they are lost, or multiple people will say they are not clear where they are…

“If you don't want people to be able to independently navigate through a PowerPoint file you're sharing, select Private view Hide objects button in the meeting controls.”

		I do want people to independently navigate. But also, I'd like to bring them back to the current slide, or somehow highlighting the current slide, essentially making it easy for viewers not to get lost

You have the option to limit if viewers can detach.
