Put dates between sections in Beamer TOC

Question

I am giving a presentations over the course of two days. My current code looks like this:

\documentclass[12pt,aspectratio=169]{beamer}
\AtBeginSection[]
{
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Test}
        \tableofcontents[currentsection,subsectionstyle=shaded]
    \end{frame}
}
\AtBeginSubsection[]
{
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Test}
        \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection]
    \end{frame}
}
\title{Test}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[t,plain]
    \titlepage
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{TOC}
    \tableofcontents
\end{frame}
% Day 1
\section{1}
\section{2}
% Day 2
\section{3}
\section{4}
\end{document}

Is there any way I can show days in the TOC? Something like:

Day 1:

Section 1
Section 2

Day 2:

Section 3
Section 4

You could maybe just use \section for the days and \subsection for the actual sections, but beamer also supports \parts. See this example: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/243530/47927 — Jasper Habicht, Jul 02 '22 at 13:34

The current documentation of the beamer package explains in section 10.3 how to use \parts which you could also use here (also, see this answer for more information):

\documentclass[12pt,aspectratio=169]{beamer}
\AtBeginSection[]
{
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Test}
        \tableofcontents[currentsection,subsectionstyle=shaded]
    \end{frame}
}
\AtBeginSubsection[]
{
    \begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Test}
        \tableofcontents[currentsection,currentsubsection]
    \end{frame}
}
\title{Test}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[t,plain]
    \titlepage
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{TOC}
    Day 1:
    \tableofcontents[part=1]
    Day 2:
    \tableofcontents[part=2]
\end{frame}
\part{Day 1}
\section{1}
\section{2}
\part{Day 2}
\section{3}
\section{4}
\end{document}

Thanks, exactly what I wanted! – Filippo Bistaffa Jul 02 '22 at 14:12 — Filippo Bistaffa, Jul 02 '22 at 14:12
