Table of content in beamer generated with R markdown/knitr

Question

In line with this question, I have problems generating table of contents with a beamer class document, which I have made in RStudio with R markdown and knitr.

Answer 1

A table of contents lists sections, not individual pages. But you have no section in your document: since you used slide_level: 1, all level 1 titles are slides.

If you add sections to your document, you will get a toc. That would be the proper use. Something like:

---
output:
  beamer_presentation:
    slide_level: 2
    toc: true
---

# Section 1

## Slide 1
Slide content

## Slide 2
Slide content

If you really want to get a list of individuals slides as a table of content, there might be a way to do that with \renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{...} in your preamble, but tex.stackexchange.com is better suited for this question.
