I have been googling for ages.

I want to add a double-dagger footnote to the title in my beamer presentation.

I am using \thanks for the footnote as this seems to work. But I cannot change to a dagger. All the answers I have found apply to articles not beamer presentations.

This is what I have got so far... I have include all the preamble in case it makes a difference (I am new to latex and it seems too...).

\documentclass[aspectratio=1610]{beamer}

\usetheme{Szeged}        % {Szeged}   {Dresden}
\usecolortheme{beaver}   % {beaver}   {spruce}
\usefonttheme{serif}
\setbeamertemplate{itemize items}[square]
\usepackage{framed,color}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{1,0.4,0.4}

\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{caption}

\newcommand{\source}[1]{\caption*{Source: {#1}} }
\def\fnsymbol#1{\expandafter\@fnsymbol\csname c@#1\endcsname}

\title{My Title\thanks{My footnote.}}
\institute{\small My Organisation}
\date{\scriptsize Very very soon}
\author{Me}


\begin{document}

%%  Title slide

\begin{frame}
    \titlepage
\end{frame}

Probably the following suits your needs:

enter image description here

I've used \renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}} in order to switch from numbered footnotes to symbols. Instead of \thanks, I have used \footnote[3]{...} since double dagger is the third symbol in the list. In order to avoid having the footnote symbol ext to the title in the footline, I have used the optional argument of the \title command.

Additionally, I have used \setbeamerfont{...}{size=\...} in order to change the font size of institute and date rather than adding the font sized directly into the \institute and \date commands.

\documentclass[aspectratio=1610]{beamer}

\usetheme{Szeged}
\usecolortheme{beaver}  
\usefonttheme{serif}

\usepackage{fourier}

\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}

\setbeamerfont{institute}{size=\small}
\setbeamerfont{date}{size=\scriptsize}


\title[My title]{My Title\footnote[3]{My footnote.}}
\institute{My Organisation}
\date{Very very soon}
\author{Me}
