The user will always have internet access - except when it suddenly drops out during that one critical meeting.

Doing a presentation at a conference? The hotel promised there would be "internet", but failed to mention all 10.000 attendees would be sharing a 10Mbps link. Doing a presentation at another company? They've got an overly-aggressive firewall on the guest network, so Figma isn't loading - and your provider decided to temporarily block your 5G tethering due to "misuse". Presenting a keynote at Computex? Guess Figma is having an outage, better tell the hundreds of journalists to come back tomorrow!

Your internet may have always worked so far. Are you willing to bet your career on some random 3rd party internet connection - or Figma itself - never having an outage?

This happened to me lol. I copied a demo video from our landing page, and the host company somehow blocked our CDN, so the demo slide is just a blank page. Have to mouth the whole demo from memory, not too bad but it's really awkward.

The article said that it handles drops of internet connections fine.

>sharing a 10Mbps link

You aren't streaming a video.

>They've got an overly-aggressive firewall on the guest network, so Figma isn't loading

Figma is an industry standard tool. It would be unlikely to be blocked.

>and your provider decided to temporarily block your 5G tethering due to "misuse"

You can probably present directly from your phone in this case.

>Guess Figma is having an outage, better tell the hundreds of journalists to come back tomorrow!

I guess so. Or the journalists can watch the livestream or a recording.

Sometimes I read comments and wonder how someone could be so divorced from reality.

I ... don't think it does? It states the exact opposite at least twice:

> Just because you have a presentation open and loaded, doesn’t mean you can present it. If you are offline when you actually click Present, it will barf.

> Once you are presenting, you can click to “download” the presentation to be available offline – but be careful not to close the tab or it will undownload!
