Hiding the presentation controls in LaTeX beamer presentation [closed]

Question

I am currently building a presentation using LaTeX beamer. Is there a way to hide the presentation controls on the bottom of the slides? I don't use those controls, and they sometimes collide with the slide's text.

Answer 1

Yes, from p.223 of the Beamer guide:

To remove navigation symbols,

\usenavigationsymbolstemplate{}

Although it looks like the syntax has changed since then. This more recent page has:

\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}%remove navigation symbols

Answer 2

The simplest way is:

\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
