Microsoft PowerPoint's Presenter View, also known as Presenter Mode in PowerPoint, is a great tool for maintaining your presentation flow and engaging your audience. This guide will walk you through the steps for how to use presenter view in PowerPoint, tailored for both single and dual monitor setups, and provide tips for presenting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. We’ll also cover common troubleshooting tips to ensure a seamless presentation experience.
Setting Up Presenter View in PowerPoint

Tips for a Seamless Presentation with PowerPoint Presenter View
- Practice Beforehand: Familiarize yourself with Presenter View’s features, such as the timer, notes, and navigation controls.
- Use Notes Wisely: Presenter View allows you to see your notes without displaying them to the audience. Keep notes concise and relevant.
- Engage with Your Audience: Maintain eye contact with the camera, not the screen. Use the pointer or annotation tools to highlight key points.
- Check Your Setup before the event: Test your audio, video, and internet connection before the presentation. Have a backup plan in case of technical difficulties.
Troubleshooting Common Issues in PowerPoint Presenter View
Here are some troubleshooting suggestions for common issues when presenting using PowerPoint presenter mode:
- Go to the “Display Settings” in Presenter View and swap displays, or simply stop your share and then restart the share so that you can select the correct screen
- Ensure your monitor configuration is correctly set in your operating system settings.
- Close unnecessary applications to free up system resources.
- Ensure a stable internet connection.
- Reduce video resolution in your meeting application if necessary.
- Check your microphone and speaker settings in your meeting application.
- Ensure your audio devices are properly connected and selected.
- Double-check the screen/window you are sharing.
- Verify permissions and settings in your meeting application.
- Ensure you are using a version of PowerPoint that supports Presenter View (available in Microsoft 365 and certain standalone versions).

Giving a presentation can be intimidating, even to seasoned speakers. Learn how to use PPT Presenter View , which is your private cockpit view.
![new presentation view Tezia presenter view in PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/tezia-presenter-view-in-powerpoint.jpg)
This is a view that you'll see on your own screen while giving a presentation using PowerPoint. While the audience will see the presentation on the projector or big screen, you'll have your own private view on a second monitor.
This feature is like a cockpit for giving presentations. You'll keep all the most important controls front and center while presenting.
PowerPoint Presenter View gives you at least four essential tools that make presenting your slideshow more comfortable:
- In Presenter View , this display keeps your speaker notes in view to reference while speaking.
- You'll see a thumbnail for the next slide to begin preparing for your next key point, and you can jump to other slides quickly.
- A timekeeping tool helps you track how long you've been speaking to ensure you don't overrun any time limits.
- Drawing tools allow you to add illustrations on screen while presenting to draw attention to specific parts of your slides.
You need every advantage you can get when it's time to give a presentation. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make the most out of Presenter View in PowerPoint.
In this tutorial, I'm going to focus on an underused feature of PowerPoint: Presenter View.
How to Present a PowerPoint Slideshow With Presenter View (Video)
In this video, I'll teach you how to get started with Presenter View in PowerPoint. You'll learn how to enable Presenter View and then use the tools inside of it. I'll teach you to use the special Presenter View features to keep your notes and tools close, that way you can present more confidently.
![new presentation view new presentation view](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OKrl5lin6q8/sddefault.jpg)
Keep reading to find out more about using Presenter View in PowerPoint and the best features to try out.
Turn On PowerPoint Presenter View
In PowerPoint for macOS, simply click on Presenter View on the Slide Show tab to kick off the presentation in Presenter view .
![new presentation view Start presenter mode PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/start-presenter-mode-powerpoint.jpg)
You'll see the Presenter View interface on one screen. The other display will show the "audience version" of the presentation. In other words, it shows what they'll see on a projector screen, or even their own display.
How to Make the Most of Presenter View
Let's dive into some of my favorite features that Presenter View brings to the table. Using even one of these is reason enough to try out Presenter View in PowerPoint. But when you combine them together, it's a no-brainer.
This is how to use Presenter View on PowerPoint. But the real question is why to use presenter mode PowerPoint. The reason is twofold:
- It helps your slides look better.
- It keeps you organized.
You can share neat, uncluttered slides that aren’t packed with content. That’s because you can keep your supporting content to yourself.
For this Presenter View in PowerPoint tutorial, we’ll be using the beautiful Tezia - Corporate PowerPoint Template from Envato Elements. Tezia has 40 stunning slide layouts. Each one works great in PowerPoint Presenter View . Download it today and follow along.
![new presentation view Tezia Presenter mode PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/tezia-presenter-mode-powerpoint.jpg)
Now, let’s learn how to use Presenter View in PowerPoint fast!
1. Speaker Notes
Speaker Notes is a top feature that works best with Presenter View in PowerPoint. Many presenters will spend time filling out cards or scribbling ideas onto paper. But it's much easier to add them directly into your PowerPoint file.
![new presentation view](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=400/uploads/users/988/posts/27976/preview_image/intro_speaker_notes_2.jpg)
To add Speaker Notes to a presentation, start off by working in Normal view on PowerPoint's View tab. At the bottom of your screen, you can click on Notes to open up the Speaker Notes section and add your own text.
![new presentation view How to present on PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/how-to-present-on-powerpoint.jpg)
Speaker Notes and Presenter View go hand in hand. When you're in Presenter View , your speaker notes will show up on the right side of your screen. You can adjust the text size with the icons near the lower right corner.
![new presentation view How to use presenter view in PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/how-to-use-presenter-view-in-powerpoint.jpg)
Speaker Notes show how to use Presenter View in PowerPoint to your advantage. They help keep you on track as you present on your key topics.
Speaker Notes are important because they avoid the potential of you reading off your slides. Why? Because you don’t have to commit every key detail to memory! You can engage with your audience, all while referring to pre-built notes that they’ll never see.
2. Slide Previews
Let’s face it: you might be sharing a presentation with dozens of different slides inside. When you know how to put PowerPoint in presentation mode, you can get a sneak preview as you present. It’s easy to forget exactly how you sequenced slides together.
With Presenter View , you can stop guessing. That’s because you’ll always have a preview of the next slide in your deck.
As you work in Presenter View in PowerPoint, notice the slide thumbnail in the upper right corner. It’s labeled Next Slide , and that’s exactly what you’re seeing. This helps you transition smoothly from slide to slide. Often, you may set up some closing narration on one slide to help introduce the next. Guesswork and delays are gone, thanks to using Presenter View in PowerPoint.
Knowing how to present on PowerPoint involves keeping slides in a logical order. That means that on occasion, your next slide should no longer be the next one in line. Presenter View helps you handle this situation.
![new presentation view How to put PowerPoint in presentation mode](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/how-to-put-powerpoint-in-presentation-mode.jpg)
Across the bottom of the view is a filmstrip of every slide’s thumbnail. You can scroll through it and click on any slide to jump directly to it.
This way, you can jump around in your slide deck without your audience ever knowing it! This helps you drive the flow of your slide deck in real time, with no interruptions or distractions.
3. Drawing Tools
Like sports commentators do during a broadcast, you can use drawing tools to draw on top of your slides. This is perfect if you've got a tablet for example, but the feature works well for computer users with a mouse too.
To enter the drawing tools, you can click on the icon shown in the PowerPoint screenshot below. This turns on the tools you need to add highlights and annotations to the selected slide.
![new presentation view Using presenter view in PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/using-presenter-view-in-powerpoint.jpg)
Annotations are great if you want to call out key details in real time. You can highlight, mark up, or circle any element on a slide. This is how to use Presenter View in PowerPoint in a live environment. You can use it to capture audience attention and focus on details as your narrative flows.
![new presentation view How to use presenter view on PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/how-to-use-presenter-view-on-powerpoint.jpg)
Choose from tools like the Laser Pointer, Pen, and Highlighter to add annotations to a slide. A laser pointer is a digital version of the popular tool used to draw attention to parts of a slide.
The Pen and Highlighter tools will actually add new marks on top of the slide that your audience will see.
4. Timekeeping
This feature is straightforward to use, but I can't stress enough how helpful it is. Nothing is worse than giving a presentation and realizing that you used only half of the time. Or that you went far over the time limit.
In Presenter View , you'll see a feature that keeps time above the current slide thumbnail. You can pause this feature with the Pause button or reset the counter with the icon on the far right. But often, it's best to leave it running. This keeps you on pace, on track, and focused on your message.
![new presentation view Time presenter view in PowerPoint](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/time-presenter-view-in-powerpoint.jpg)
Plus, this is how to put PowerPoint in presentation mode to work for you. At a glance, you can see how much time you have left. This may encourage you to speed up your dialogue. Or it may afford you extra time to expound on a key point or new supporting detail.
I can think of many times when this feature would have been a big help during presentations in college. When you're graded or judged based upon your runtime, it's a great idea to keep that time total in view.
5. Navigate Effortlessly with Keyboard Shortcuts
Presenter mode PowerPoint presentations are easy to navigate. That’s because they work well with a variety of keyboard shortcuts. By using these shortcuts, you can see how to present on PowerPoint efficiently.
![new presentation view Presenter mode PowerPoint tips](https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=850/uploads/users/151/posts/39120/image-upload/presenter-mode-powerpoint-tips.jpg)
Presenter View offers an array of keyboard and mouse shortcuts that you can use as you present. Again, your audience won’t notice this.
For a look at them, click on the Tips button in the upper left corner of Presenter View . You’ll see a complete cheat sheet of shortcuts listed. Refer to it often and use these tips to navigate through your slides.

Envato Elements is the best place to find stunning PowerPoint templates in 2022 . For a flat, monthly rate, you can download as many PowerPoint templates as you want. Plus, Elements offers an array of other creative content. This includes stock photos, music, fonts, and more.

Why? They’re designed by creative experts with you in mind. You simply fill in the blanks to add your own content. You don’t have to spend time and effort designing slides from scratch. This gives you even more time to craft a compelling narrative to wow any audience.

How to Work with Presenter View in PowerPoint
![new presentation view Cover for How to Work with Presenter View in PowerPoint](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/00-how-to-work-presenter-view-powerpoint-cover.png)
Not all presenters have excellent memory recall or the ability to speak flawlessly to the audience without any cues. However, many of them are good at hiding it by using Presenter View in PowerPoint. It is a presentation mode that enables the presenter to hide speaker notes and presentation controls from the audience while leveraging the various handy features offered by PowerPoint.
How to Use Presenter View in PowerPoint
To start using Presenter View, ensure it’s enabled before you begin your slideshow. If you are new to this feature, we recommend using this option to familiarize yourself with the various navigation options for this presentation mode. This might also be helpful if the PowerPoint templates you are accustomed to using might have animations that you might want to preview in this mode to understand when to give the next visual cue.
How to Enable Presenter View in PowerPoint
To enable PowerPoint presenter view, go to the SlideShow tab and make sure the Use Presenter View option is enabled. This will ensure that you can access Presenter View when you switch your slides to SlideShow mode.
![new presentation view Enable Presenter View in PowerPoint](https://cdn.slidemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/01-enabling-presenter-view-in-powerpoint.png)
Adjust Display Settings
You can swap between the presenter view and slideshow mode or duplicate the slideshow to exit the Presenter View from the Display Settings menu from the top toolbar.

The presenter can easily manage a PPT in presentation mode, with the utility to view speaker notes, annotate or zoom slides, toggle subtitles or camera on or off, and keep your audience engaged via better slideshow management. However, if you’re new to this presentation mode, a bit of practice might help you avoid confusion when presenting before an audience in Presenter View for the first few times.

Hey, Officer Insiders! My name is Victoria Tran, and I’m a Program Manager on the PowerPoint team. I’m thrilled to share that you can now edit notes in Presenter view in PowerPoint for Windows. No more switching to Editor view to type or change your notes, even during a presentation!
Edit notes in Presenter view
Accessing and editing your slide content whenever the need arises is a key part of the PowerPoint workflow. Whether you’re making an important edit to your speaker notes during a presentation rehearsal or jotting down feedback during your presentation, the ability to edit notes in Presenter view increases your productivity and eliminates the need to toggle between views.
We are excited to add this highly requested feature and expand the use of PowerPoint notes. In the future, we’ll continue to add support for editing notes in other views, such as Teleprompter view.
How it works
Ready to edit notes in Presenter view?
![new presentation view Screenshot of PowerPoint ribbon showing the buttons for starting a slide show.](https://office-insider-media.azurefd.net/media/2022/04/StartPresenterView-999.png)
NOTE: You can also press the F6 key to select the Notes pane in Presenter view. When a white outline appears around the pane, press Enter and start typing to make any updates you want.
Known issues
Presenter view currently only allows basic formatting of notes, such as bold, italics, and underlining (via keyboard shortcuts). Formatting such as text color, highlighting, and other options aren’t yet available.
Tips and tricks
- If you are using keyboard commands to navigate through your slides during a presentation, make sure the text insertion point is not showing in the Notes pane. If it is, the arrow keys will move the insertion point around in the pane instead of navigating the slides.
- If you have two monitors, a full-screen slide will show on one monitor and Presenter view on the other monitor, featuring a view of the next slide, your speaker notes, a timer, and more. If you have just one monitor, you can press Alt + F5 to try out Presenter view.
Availability
We will be rolling the edit notes in Presenter view feature out to Office Insiders running Beta Channel Version 2204 (Build 15225.20000) or later.
Don’t have it yet? It’s probably us, not you.
Features are released over some time to ensure things are working smoothly. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as an Insider, have had the opportunity to try it.
We want to hear from you! Please click Help > Feedback to submit your feedback about this feature.
Learn what other information you should include in your feedback to ensure it’s actionable and reaches the right people. We’re excited to hear from you!

Understanding Presenter View in PowerPoint: A Deep Dive Guide
![new presentation view](https://powerbacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/powerpoint-presenter-view.png)
Origin and Evolution of Presenter View
Why presenter view is a game-changer for professionals, activating and customizing presenter view in powerpoint, in-depth features of the presenter view, common mistakes and how to avoid them, advanced tips for a power presentation, final tips for enhancing your presentation game, introduction to presenter view.
Have you ever found yourself awkwardly toggling between slides and speaker notes during a presentation? Or wished you could preview the next slide without your audience seeing? Enter Presenter View in PowerPoint, a feature designed to make presenting smoother and more professional.
In essence, Presenter View is a special mode in PowerPoint that allows the presenter to see their speaker notes on one screen, while the audience views the note-free presentation on another screen. This dual-screen setup means you can have your notes, upcoming slides, and timer conveniently on one screen while your audience remains blissfully unaware.
“Presenter View is the unseen ally behind many successful PowerPoint presentations.”
Microsoft’s PowerPoint, with its roots tracing back to the late 1980s, has undergone several metamorphoses. Over the years, as technology improved and presentation dynamics changed, Microsoft introduced new features to make the software more user-friendly and versatile. One such innovation is the Presenter View.
Back in the early days of PowerPoint, presenters had to rely on printouts or separate documents for their speaker notes. The advent of Presenter View in the early 2000s was a game-changer. It allowed presenters to merge their slides and speaker notes into one cohesive presentation experience.
The beauty of Presenter View lies not just in its conception but in its evolution. Over different versions of PowerPoint:
- 2003 : Introduction of a basic Presenter View with slides and notes.
- 2007 : Enhanced screen setup with better dual-monitor support.
- 2010 : Introduction of slide zoom and laser pointer features.
- 2013 & Beyond : Integration with touch features, improved UI, and annotations.
Each version brought refinements, making it more intuitive and packed with features, tailoring to the evolving needs of presenters globally.
Fun Fact : Presenter View wasn’t initially as popular as it is today. It took a few iterations and user feedback loops for Microsoft to perfect the balance between utility and user experience.
The Core Components of Presenter View
Presenter View in PowerPoint is like the cockpit for pilots: it’s where all the essential controls and information are at the presenter’s fingertips. Whether you’re a newbie to PowerPoint or a seasoned professional, understanding these components can transform your presentation experience.
- This provides a glance at your current, previous, and upcoming slides. It ensures you’re always prepared for what’s coming next and can seamlessly transition between points.
- The soul of your presentation, speaker notes, are discreetly placed at the bottom or side, only visible to you. These notes can be elaborate explanations, quick pointers, or even personal reminders. They’re like your secret cheat sheet!
- Ever worried about running over time? This feature shows the elapsed time since you began the presentation and, in some versions, allows you to set a countdown. Stay on track and manage your pace efficiently.
- Interactive features that allow you to draw on slides or use a virtual laser pointer. These are especially helpful when you want to emphasize or explain specific points visually.
- Navigate between slides effortlessly and zoom into specific parts of a slide to draw attention or elaborate on details.
![new presentation view](https://powerbacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/presenter-view-ppt-1024x576.png)
Table: Core Components Overview
Component | Purpose |
---|---|
Slides Preview | Glance at current and upcoming slides |
Speaker Notes | Personal reminders and additional information |
Slide Timer | Manage presentation pace |
Annotations | Emphasize points with drawings |
Laser Pointer | Highlight specific parts of slides |
Zoom & Navigation | Seamless transition and detailed elaboration on slides |
Quote : “Presenter View is to a presenter what a dashboard is to a driver. It empowers, directs, and enhances the journey of your narrative.” – Jane Harris, Lead PowerPoint Expert – Powerbacks team
Understanding these components is one thing, but leveraging them effectively during a presentation can make a significant difference. Let’s delve into the ‘why’ behind the significance of Presenter View.
Stepping onto the stage or presenting in a boardroom can often be an overwhelming experience. The constant juggle between capturing the audience’s attention and keeping track of your slides can lead to nervousness. But what if there was a way to have everything you need right in front of you, ensuring smooth sailing through your presentation? Enter Presenter View.
- Having a preview of the upcoming slides and personal notes right in front of you can be a massive boost to confidence. You’re always one step ahead, knowing exactly what’s coming next.
- Instead of turning back to view the screen repeatedly, Presenter View lets you face your audience directly. This creates a more engaging and personal interaction.
- Gone are the days when you’d hold a bunch of cue cards or sheets of paper. With digital speaker notes, you have a cleaner, more organized setup.
- Using the annotation tools and laser pointer, you can make your presentation more interactive, leading to better retention and engagement from your audience.
- There’s no denying that seamlessly transitioning between slides, using interactive tools, and having no physical notes gives a more polished and professional look.
Table: Benefits of Using Presenter View
Benefit | Description |
---|---|
Increased Confidence | Stay one step ahead with slide previews. |
Audience Engagement | Maintain eye contact and interact directly. |
No Physical Notes | Digitalize your cues and reminders. |
Interactivity | Annotations and pointers for emphasis. |
Professionalism | Seamless transitions and polished appearance. |
Quote : “Embracing the Presenter View is not just about leveraging a tool; it’s about amplifying your message and connecting more profoundly with your audience.”
It’s evident that the Presenter View has undeniable advantages for professionals. But how do you activate it and customize it to suit your needs? Let’s walk through the steps.
Starting with PowerPoint 2013, Microsoft enhanced the Presenter View to ensure that it’s both intuitive and user-friendly. Activating it and making it work for you is simple, as outlined in the following steps:
Step-by-Step Guide to Activate Presenter View :
- Start by opening your PowerPoint presentation. This will be the one you intend to deliver.
- At the top, you’ll notice several tabs. Click on the one labeled ‘Slide Show’.
- Within the Slide Show tab, you’ll spot a checkbox labeled ‘Use Presenter View’. Ensure that it’s ticked. If it’s not, simply click on it.
- If you’re using an external projector or display, make sure it’s connected. PowerPoint will automatically detect it and use the Presenter View on your primary display, showing the main presentation on the external one.
- Start your presentation by either pressing F5 on your keyboard or clicking on ‘From Beginning’ in the Slide Show tab.
- Next Slide Preview : Gives a preview of what’s coming next.
- Speaker Notes : Displays your notes for the current slide.
- Slide Navigation : Use this to jump to a specific slide.
- Annotation Tools : Highlight or draw on your slides in real-time.
- Timer : Keeps track of how long you’ve been presenting.
- You can move around the different elements, increase font size of your notes for better readability, or even hide specific components if they’re not required.
Table: Quick Access Tools in Presenter View
Tool | Purpose |
---|---|
Next Slide Preview | Offers a glimpse of the upcoming slide. |
Speaker Notes | View your notes and cues for the current slide. |
Slide Navigation | Jump to any slide in the presentation. |
Annotation Tools | Emphasize points using highlighting or drawing. |
Timer | Monitor your presentation’s duration. |
Quote : “The beauty of PowerPoint’s Presenter View is the control and flexibility it offers. It’s like having a personal assistant during your presentations.” – Linda Green, Presentation Expert
Now that we know how to activate and customize the Presenter View let’s delve deeper into its features and tools for maximum efficiency during presentations. Shall we proceed?
PowerPoint’s Presenter View is not just a simple “next slide” preview; it’s a hub of tools and functionalities designed to make the presenter’s job easier and the presentation more engaging.
H3: Slide Preview This is arguably the most straightforward feature but also the most helpful. At a glance, you can see what’s coming up, ensuring that you’re always prepared for the next topic or section.
- Smooth Transitions : Eliminates awkward pauses between slides.
- Improved Pacing : Know when to speed up or slow down based on upcoming content.
- Reduced Anxiety : No unpleasant surprises during your presentation.
H3: Speaker Notes For those who don’t rely on pure memory, speaker notes are a lifesaver. They’re your secret weapon, visible only to you, that provides additional context or reminders about what to say.
- Bold the crucial points to ensure they stand out.
- Use concise bullet points for easier and quicker reading.
- Add time cues if you’re aiming to cover specific points within certain timeframes.
H3: Slide Navigation While it’s always best to move sequentially through your slides, there might be instances when you need to skip ahead or return to a previous point. With the slide navigation tool, you can effortlessly hop around your presentation.
- Case Study : During a corporate presentation, John, a sales manager, was posed with a sudden question about Q2 performance. Thanks to slide navigation, he quickly reverted to the relevant slide, addressed the query, and resumed without any hiccups.
H3: Annotation Tools Engage your audience by turning your presentation into an interactive canvas. Whether you’re highlighting an essential statistic or drawing a quick graph, these tools can make a significant impact.
- Use contrasting colors to ensure visibility.
- Don’t overdo it; the aim is to emphasize, not to overwhelm.
- Practice beforehand to ensure you’re comfortable with these tools during the presentation.
H3: Timer It’s easy to lose track of time during a presentation. With Presenter View’s timer, you can keep tabs on the elapsed time, helping you manage the pace and duration of your talk.
- Tip : Always allocate a buffer period. If you’re presenting for 30 minutes, aim to finish in 25. This allows for Q&A or any unexpected delays.
Quote : “PowerPoint’s Presenter View is like a dashboard for presenters. It provides every tool one might need, all within arm’s reach, ensuring a seamless and interactive presentation experience.” – Michael Roberts, Tech Analyst
Understanding the features of the Presenter View is the key to unlocking its potential. With practice and familiarity, it becomes an extension of the presenter, leading to more confident and impactful presentations.
Making the Most of Presenter View
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a presentation Jedi, mastering the Presenter View is your path to the force. But having the tool isn’t enough – it’s about leveraging its features optimally. Here’s a detailed guide on maximizing the benefits of the Presenter View:
H3: Setup and Access Before harnessing its power, you need to ensure you can access Presenter View without hitches.
- Connect your computer to the projector or external display.
- Launch PowerPoint and open your presentation.
- Go to the Slide Show tab and select Set Up Slide Show .
- In the pop-up, ensure Browsed by an individual (window) is selected.
- Start the slide show. Presenter View should appear on your computer, while the audience sees only the slides.
H3: Customize the Display Remember, it’s your dashboard; make it as comfortable and efficient for you as possible.
- Within Presenter View, hover over the bottom to reveal the toolbar.
- Click on the gear icon to adjust settings.
- Reorder tools based on your preference or hide those you don’t need.
H3: Practice, Practice, Practice The tool’s efficiency relies heavily on your familiarity with it. Do dry runs to ensure you know where everything is and how each feature works.
- Pro Tip : Mimic the presentation environment during practice. If you’re presenting in a large hall, practice with the same setup.
H3: Seamlessly Integrate Other Media If your presentation includes videos, animations, or other media, ensure they play seamlessly in Presenter View.
- Deep Dive : Always embed media within the presentation. Relying on external links or files can disrupt the Presenter View experience.
H3: Engage the Audience Use the tools not just to aid your presentation but to engage your audience. Pose questions, use the pen tool to sketch quick diagrams based on audience inputs, and make it interactive.
- Table of Engagement Techniques :
Tool | Engagement Technique |
---|---|
Pen tool | Sketch live diagrams or highlight sections upon request. |
Timer | Run quick quizzes or brainstorming sessions. |
Slide navigator | Jump to topics the audience shows more interest in. |
H3: Master the Art of Transitions Smooth transitions are key to maintaining audience attention. With a preview of the next slide, prepare your narrative to flow seamlessly.
Even with the most powerful tools, human error can play a spoilsport. The Presenter View, as intuitive as it may be, has its quirks. Here’s a list of common pitfalls users face and ways to steer clear of them:
H3: Not Checking Hardware Setup Before you even start the presentation, ensure your hardware is correctly set up. This includes checking the display connection, ensuring the projector or external monitor is detected, and setting up the correct display settings.
- Pro Tip : Always keep a spare HDMI or VGA cable. Technical glitches often come from the most unexpected sources.
H3: Overlooking Speaker Notes Having made the effort of adding speaker notes to your slides, it would be a shame not to use them. They serve as a discreet prompt, ensuring you don’t miss any critical points.
- Fact : According to a study, presenters who actively used speaker notes were 25% more consistent in delivering their core messages.
H3: Ignoring the Timer Time management is crucial. If you have a fixed time slot, exceeding it can inconvenience others and may appear unprofessional. Conversely, finishing too early can leave your audience unsatisfied.
- Actionable Advice : Always have a buffer. If your slot is 30 minutes, aim for a 25-minute presentation, leaving room for Q&A or unexpected delays.
H3: Relying Exclusively on Presenter View Despite its usefulness, never be wholly dependent on Presenter View. Technical glitches happen, and the ability to continue smoothly without it showcases professionalism.
- Case Study : At a major tech conference in 2018, a renowned speaker’s Presenter View malfunctioned. Instead of panicking, he smoothly transitioned to the standard view, using his printed notes as a backup. The audience lauded his adaptability, and his message wasn’t overshadowed by the hiccup.
H3: Not Adapting to Audience Feedback The tools in Presenter View, like slide navigation, are meant to enhance adaptability. If you sense your audience resonating more with a particular topic, don’t be afraid to dwell on it a bit longer or even revisit slides.
By sidestepping these common mistakes, you not only harness the full potential of Presenter View but also project confidence and control. Next, we’ll explore some advanced features to elevate your presentation game even further.
Mastering Presenter View basics can tremendously improve your presentation skills. But if you’re looking to elevate your game and leave a lasting impression, dive into these advanced features:
H3: Seamless Transition Between Slides The art of a great presentation lies not just in the content but also in the delivery. A choppy slide transition can disrupt the flow. PowerPoint offers a plethora of transition effects — from subtle fades to dynamic 3D effects.
- Go to the Transitions tab.
- Browse and select your preferred effect.
- Adjust the transition duration if needed.
- Click Apply To All to maintain uniformity.
H3: Use Zoom to Focus on Details Occasionally, you might want to draw attention to specific details on a slide. Instead of making your audience squint, use the in-built Zoom feature.
- Tip : Combine zoom with a laser pointer or pen tool for emphasis.
H3: Ink Annotations Annotating directly on your slides can be beneficial for interactive sessions or workshops. PowerPoint’s “Ink” feature allows you to do just that.
Tool | Use-case |
---|---|
Draw or write directly on the slide. | |
Emphasize specific parts of your content. | |
Remove any annotations made during the session. |
- Did You Know? : Ink annotations made during a presentation can be saved for future reference!
H3: Embed Multimedia for a Rich Experience Modern presentations often go beyond static slides. Consider embedding videos, audio clips, or even live web content to keep your audience engaged.
- Navigate to the Insert tab.
- Choose Video or Audio and select your file.
- Adjust playback settings under the Playback tab.
H3: Custom Slide Show Sometimes, different segments of your audience require varied content. Instead of having multiple PPT files, create a custom slideshow within the same presentation.
PowerPoint’s Presenter View is akin to a secret weapon, waiting in the wings, ready to empower speakers, educators, and presenters globally. Whether you’re a novice taking your first steps into the world of presentations or a seasoned speaker aiming to refine your skills, the Presenter View, along with the myriad features PowerPoint offers, ensures your content shines in the best light.
Remember, a successful presentation doesn’t merely rely on flashy slides or multimedia elements. It’s the seamless blend of content, delivery, and engagement. And with tools like Presenter View, you’re equipped to handle the technical aspects, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – connecting with your audience.
As Bill Gates once said:
“If you think the PowerPoint presentation is there for you as the presenter, you’re wrong. It’s there for the audience.”
So, the next time you’re gearing up for that crucial pitch, workshop, or lecture, take a moment to familiarize yourself with Presenter View. Your audience — and your confidence — will thank you for it.
Happy presenting!

1. Normal View
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S1-4.jpg)
The ‘Normal View’ option is the first option in the ‘Presentation Views’ section of the ‘View’ tab. It is the most commonly used viewing option and is also the default slide view for PowerPoint.
The slides appear on the left of the PowerPoint window in the ‘Slide Navigation’ bar. Thumbnails of the slide are represented as boxes in the ‘Slide Navigation’ bar with its consecutive serial number to the left of it.
The main function of normal view mode in PowerPoint is to navigate through slides in a vertical grid while allowing you to add, design, or edit the slides while getting a preview of the slides on the left.
2. Slide Sorter View
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S2-5.jpg)
The ‘Slide Sorter’ option gives you an overview of all the slides in your PowerPoint presentation.
The slides are represented as thumbnails as a grid of boxes arranged side by side. The serial number of the slide is given on the bottom left corner of the slide thumbnail.

In this view, the slides appear at the top and the speaker notes are given on the bottom of the two sections. The serial number of the slide is not shown in this view. You can also edit speaker notes from here.
The main purpose of the notes page view in PowerPoint is to preview what each page will look like before you print the slides with speaker notes.
4. Reading View:
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S4-1.jpg)
The Reading View option allows you to view your PowerPoint presentation without going into Full Screen mode. All the transitions and animations can be seen in this view. The serial number of the slide is given at the bottom right corner of the window.
It is used to preview the slide and review the slides with full focus. This mode also makes other view options easily accessible, which is not the case in ‘Slide Show’ mode where the presentation is shown in the full screen, and the options are not visible on screen.
The reading mode is actually more useful for word documents, as it allows the reader to focus just on the text. In my opinion, it adds little value to a PowerPoint presentation.
5. Outline View:
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S5-1.jpg)
The ‘Outline View’ shows you the entire outline of your PowerPoint presentation in the ‘Slide Navigation’ bar.
In this view, there is no thumbnail of the presentation. Instead, there is an outline of all the data present in that slide. The serial number of the slide is at the left followed by a small white box that represents a slide and then the outline of that slide.
You can also create an entire slide in the pane of this view by copy and pasting data from Microsoft Word. However, you will have to design the slide separately once the data has been added to each slide.
6. Slide Show View:
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S6-1.jpg)
The Slide Show View is the view that your audiences are going to see. This view shows each slide of your PowerPoint presentation in full screen.
All the transitions, animation, and multimedia files in your PowerPoint presentation are played here. Consecutive slides can be accessed using the direction keys on your keyboard or by clicking once on the slide.
7. Presenter View:
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S7-1.jpg)
This is the view that you as a presenter are going to see while the audience is seeing the ‘Slide Show’ view.
Although you can give a presentation even in the slide show view, but it is always recommend to deliver the presentation using the “Presenter View” mode in PowerPoint as it provides you with additional features and benefits!
This view mode in PowerPoint will split the screen in multiple windows. The window on the left represents the current slide that is being displayed (the one that is visible to your audience).
The window in the top right section indicates the next slide in the queue. Whereas, the notes section displays the notes or key points made by each slide. Both, the notes section as well as the next slides window are only visible to the presenter and not to the audience!
The purpose of the “ Presenter View ” is to give the presenter all the aids to be prepared for the next slide and highlight the key points to be made on the current slide while delivering the presentation.
8. Slide Master View:
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M2S8.jpg)
This view gives you a view of all the layouts used on the slides of your PowerPoint presentation.
The ‘ Slide Master View ’ option allows you to edit all the aspects of the layouts in your presentation such as fonts, background, color, and pretty much everything you can think of.
You can edit all the slide layouts of the presentation. Furthermore, you can also edit the header and footer of the presentation using the “ Slide Master View ” in PowerPoint.
4. How to Open the Presenter View in PowerPoint?
There are 2 different ways you can enter into Presenter View in PowerPoint –
- Using Slide Show View
- Using the short cut key i.e. Alt+F5
If you are using the Office 365 version of PowerPoint , you can actually directly access the “Presenter View” in the View section. Simply click on “View”. Then, click on “Presenter View”
Let’s look at both the methods quickly –
Method 1 – Using the Slide Show View
Step-1: Click on the ‘Slide Show’ button at the bottom right corner of the screen
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M3S1-3.jpg)
At first, you have to click on the ‘Slide Show’ button that looks like a projector screen which is located at the bottom right corner of your PowerPoint window. (as indicated in the image above)
Step-2: Right-click and choose “Show Presenter View”
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M3S2-4.jpg)
Once you are in the ‘Slide Show’ mode, using your mouse right-click anywhere on the screen. From the menu that appears, choose the “ Show Presenter View ” option
Method 2 – Using the Keyboard Shortcut
Alternatively, you can press ‘ Alt + F5 ’ on your keyboard and that will immediately open the ‘Presenter View’ mode.
The keyboard shortcut to open the “Presenter View” in PowerPoint on Mac is “Option+Enter” key.
5. How to Change PowerPoint Back to Normal View?
To change your PowerPoint back to ‘Normal View’ from ‘Slide Show’ mode, ‘Presenter View’ option or the ‘Reading View’ option, all you have to do is simply press the ‘ESC’ button on the keyboard of your computer. This will take you back to Normal View.
If you are using any other view apart from these 3 view modes in PowerPoint, you need to do the following –
![new presentation view](https://artofpresentations.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/M4S1-3.jpg)
If you are in a different viewing option, such as ‘Slide Sorter’ option, or the ‘Reading View’ option then you have to select the ‘Normal View’ option from the ‘View’ tab instead of the ‘Slide Sorter’ option or the different slide view option you are currently on.

How to Use the Presenter View in Google Slides
![new presentation view How to Use the Presenter View in Google Slides | Quick Tips & Tutorial for your presentations](https://media.slidesgo.com/storage/35224791/upload.jpeg)
Google Slides, like PowerPoint, has different presentation modes that can come in handy when you’re presenting and you want your slideshow to look smooth. Whether you’re looking for slides only, speaker notes or the Q&A feature, in this new Google Slides tutorial, you’ll learn about these and their respective settings. Ready? Then let’s explore the presenter view!
Types of presentation modes in Google Slides
Presenter view, start from beginning, present on another screen.
There are three presentation modes in Google Slides.
If you click the “Slideshow” button or press Ctrl/Cmd + F5, your presentation will start directly without any speaker notes. This is the most widely used and the simplest option.
Next to the “Slideshow” button, there’s a drop-down arrow. Click on it to see the different presentation modes:
In this mode, you’ll be able to see the speaker notes, check the timer and adjust other settings, such as questions from the audience. For more information about the speaker notes, please refer to this Google Slides tutorial .
To view the different tools, after clicking “Presenter View”, move your mouse to the lower left-hand corner of the screen. You’ll see the slide number, previous and next slide arrows and three dots. Click on the dots and here are your options:
Open speaker notes
This enables the speaker notes and makes them visible. If you click this button, you might exit fullscreen mode. To go back to fullscreen, press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F or click the “Fullscreen” button. For more information, please refer to this Google Slides tutorial .
Turn on the laser pointer
You’ll see a red dot on the screen, which you can move around to point out any element from your presentation.
Full screen
Click this button (or press Ctrl+Shift+F) to enter or exit fullscreen mode.
Click this button to finish the presentation or just press Esc.
If you click on “Auto-play,” more options will appear: Click “Play” and the slides will advance automatically (by default, every two seconds, but there are other options available. You can also choose to play the slideshow on a loop).
Captions preferences
If you have a mic set up, you can enable captions. Click the drop-down arrow to adjust the size of the text and its position on the screen.
If you click on “more”, you can enable the Audience Q&A panel by clicking on the first option that appears. For more information, please refer to this Google Slides tutorial .
More: Downloads, printing, info and options
Under the “More” tab, you can also choose different download formats for your slideshow or print it out. This tab also contains a handy list of keyboard shortcuts (if you prefer handling keys to using your mouse) and the possibility to report problems.
Your presentation will begin from the first slide (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F5).
Your presentation will be shown on a different screen via a media display device, such as Chromecast. This option will be available only if there’s another screen available.

Photographer Captures the Modern Beauty of Moscow’s Historic Metro
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0475.jpg)
Russian photographer and filmmaker Vadim Sherbakov has published a new personal project highlighting the beautiful architecture of Moscow’s metro stations .
Moscow’s Illustrious Metro System
The history of Moscow’s metro system is a lengthy one, dating back more than a century to the years of the Russian Empire. After wars and revolutions delayed the start of the Moscow Metro system, progress was finally made in 1923 when the Moscow City Council formed the Underground Railway Design Office as part of the Moscow Board of Urban Railways, and preliminary studies and planning began in earnest. By 1928, the first route had been decided, going from Sokolniki to Moscow’s city center.
In June 1931, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union decided to begin constructing the metro system. By January of the following year, the first lines were approved, and the next year, a revised plan with 10 routes was approved, with the tracks totaling about 80 kilometers (50 miles). The metro system officially opened in May of 1935.
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-Metro02A.jpg)
Sherbakov Showcases His Home’s Beauty
These days, after decades of improvements and new construction, the Moscow Metro system has more than 330 stations and nearly 800 km of track. In his latest project, Sherbakov turned his lens toward the newest stations with the most interesting architecture, and the results are glorious.
The project is far from the first time Sherbakov captured Moscow’s beauty. In 2018, he delivered an amazing time-blended composite photo series of the city . For those photos, the long exposures helped deal with a major issue of photographing cities and busy metro stations — the people.
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0285.jpg)
AI Helps in Surprising Ways
In the new series, the photographer instead relied on improved software technology, especially the AI-powered Generative Fill feature in Adobe Photoshop . “The Photoshop AI (generative fill) is amazing for removing stuff. The metro stations, even new ones, still have a few people who pop into the frame, here and there,” Sherbakov explains.
“In previous years, I would hesitate to shoot architecture with people standing close to the camera that had to be removed, but because of [the new] AI tool, I am more relaxed and focused on the architecture than some random people getting in the frame, because I knew that [they] wouldn’t be a problem to delete.”
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0449.jpg)
Getting the shot right in camera is still important, of course, but now Sherbakov can worry more about his exposure, composition, and focus than the occasional stranger walking through the frame.
Speaking of exposure, the photographer occasionally brackets for highlights and creates composites to capture the scene’s dynamic range. “They are basically bracketing shots with occasional bracketing for highlight. Mostly single exposure from five bracketed shots. The process of shooting involved traveling to all those stations late at night on weekends. Although they are relatively new stations, weekdays are busy… I had to avoid crowds. Because of that, it had to be late at night on weekends, around 11 PM to 12 AM,” Sherbakov explains. The Moscow Metro has an average daily ridership of about 7.5 million passengers.
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0758.jpg)
Alongside helping remove people from the photos, Photoshop also helps Sherbakov make the metro stations look super clean and pristine, although not even AI can fix all the mess.
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0669.jpg)
“It’s winter in Moscow, so dirty snow can crawl in… I had to reduce the luminosity manually to darken the floor to avoid cleaning [it all] up, which would take hours, even with AI tools.”
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0628.jpg)
The photographer must also work to straighten lines and perform perspective correction during post-processing. The photographer explains that tripods are prohibited in the Moscow Metro system, so tilt-shift lenses are “out of the question.”
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0325.jpg)
“I had a specific lens in mind that would help me with that situation, the Irix 21mm f/1.4 EF lens for my Canon EOS R5,” Sherbakov tells PetaPixel . “It’s not as wide as the 17mm f/4 TS-E lens, but not as [long as a] 24mm either. It’s something in between.”
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0360.jpg)
“It’s super fast. One of the fastest lenses I own (the fast [aperture] is not a necessity in architectural and interior photography as you shoot on a tripod most of the time). So, I use this Irix lens [and] shoot everything handheld and do post-production work later,” he explains.
Compared to some of Sherbakov’s other work, which includes gorgeous building exteriors , brilliant aerial work, and spectacular landscape photos , the new Moscow Metro series has a much different aesthetic and overall feel.
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0549.jpg)
“I think it’s all due to the fact that there are no natural elements such as clouds in [the new series]. Therefore, the images are quite different,” the photographer explains. “I really like the symmetrical architecture of the stations and want to emphasize [that]. I went with quite a wide lens to capture the station’s surroundings. I think the architecture dictated a lot [of the look of the series].”
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-VADL0534.jpg)
Symmetry and Modern Architecture
The symmetry and futuristic vibe of the newly constructed stations initially drew Sherbakov into the new project. “I do use the metro, so it is not a foreign concept to me. However, the underground or trains are not my primary interest. Architecture first. I think the architects did a great job on those stations, and I want to bring it to the light.”
![new presentation view Vadim Sherbakov "New Moscow Metro" photo series](https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/vadim-sherbakov-new-moscow-metro-TerehovoMetroIII.jpg)
As for the cooler tones in the newer stations, Sherbakov says that is just what they look like, which lends itself to the futuristic vibes. “I didn’t manipulate the white balance a lot. In fact, I think it was almost no shifting. The new stations are such a contrast to the old ones that indeed had more yellowish and warmer tones, and the new stations are brighter and more blue in real life.”
