PowerPoint Presenter View

Overview

PowerPoint Presenter View shows you the current slide, the next slide, and your speaker notes to help you focus while presenting and connect with your audience.

For staff and faculty using a laptop: 

  • At this time, users using a Windows device may have some trouble with pulling up the presenter view.
  • Users using a Mac should have the presenter view automatically enable itself in the classrooms 

Steps

To Select Presenter View: 

1) Select the Slide Show Tab

2) Select the Use Presenter View Box

3) Make sure the monitor is set to display to Primary Monitor

4) Then start your presentation as normal!

You should then see a screen like the one below on the instructors desk and the normal slides behind you on the projector and the back TV (if applicable).

Troubleshooting Tip

If your notes are showing on both screens, it is likely because the room PC is displaying incorrectly. To correct that, you can:

  • Hit the Windows Key + P and make sure the screens are set to Extend, not Duplicate
