I am preparing a Quarto presentation using beamer and would like to add the frame number at the bottom of each slide (analogous to the slide-number option in revealjs). Could anybody tell me how I can do this?

I already figured out that the slide-number option does not exist for beamer.

Alternatively, you can control it yourself like this (see here)

---
title: "Presentation"
format: 
  beamer: 
    aspectratio: 32
    navigation: horizontal
    header-includes: |
       \setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
       \setbeamertemplate{footline}[page number]
---

# Intro


## second slide

    This is exactly what I was looking for since it is independent of the template - thank you very much! – Max Nov 03 '22 at 09:27

The default theme does not include slide numbering, but you could use one with, e.g. Boadilla:

title: "Slide numbering in Beamer"
format: 
  beamer:
    theme: Boadilla
editor: visual
