What is Presenter View in PowerPoint?

Presenter View is a feature in PowerPoint that helps presenters manage their slides more effectively during a presentation. It allows you to see speaker notes, preview upcoming slides, and control the slideshow without showing these extra details to the audience.

How to Enable Presenter View
  1. Connect your computer to a projector or an external display.
  2. Open your PowerPoint presentation.
  3. Go to the Slide Show tab.
  4. Check the Use Presenter View box.
  5. Start your presentation by clicking From Beginning or pressing F5.

Note : If you only have one screen, PowerPoint will show Presenter View and the slideshow on the same display.

Features of Presenter View

When Presenter View is active, you'll see:
* Current Slide – Displays the slide being presented.
* Next Slide Preview – Shows a preview of the upcoming slide.
* Speaker Notes – Allows you to read your notes without the audience seeing them.
* Slide Navigation – Lets you jump between slides easily.
* Timer & Clock – Helps you keep track of time.
* Annotation Tools – Allows you to draw or highlight important points on slides.

Why Use Presenter View?

* Helps you stay on track with speaker notes.
* Gives you more control over slide navigation.
* Improves audience engagement by letting you focus on delivery rather than memorizing slides.
