- Most of the time, PowerPoint presentations are given in the same way. The audience is facing you watching your presentation on a large screen. You are facing the audience with your computer or laptop facing you with your presentation on it. This gives you a huge advantage. You can see a special view on your computer monitor, but the audience won't see on their screen. The special view just for you is called "Presenter View." To use Presenter View while you present, change to the slideshow ribbon tab and make sure "Use Presenter View" has a check box next to it.
You can select which monitor is going to have Presenter View on it. Because we're only on one monitor here, I'll show you how you can activate it to practice while you're presenting. I'll start the slideshow by hitting the F5 on my keyboard or "From Beginning" from the slideshow ribbon. From here, I can right click on my slide and choose "Show Presenter View." There's a few things you can see here. The first one is, you can see my slide timer up here on the left hand side.
If it's distracting to you, you can pause it. You can also reset the timer. On the right hand side, I can see the current time which is useful if I know I have a hard stop time on my presentation. I can see the current slide that I'm on and on the right hand side I can see the next slide that's coming up so I can prepare for it. Any speaker notes that I have on that current slide will be listed below. I can also change the font. If I'm having a hard time reading the speaker notes, I can enlarge the font by clicking the "A" in the bottom left hand side or I can click the smaller "A" next to it and shrink the text if I want to see it all on one screen.
Directly underneath the slide, I can see my annotations pen, which I'll be showing you in the next video how that works. We can also jump to a slide, I'll show you that. You can zoom in on a particular slide if you need to see a feature better or there's something you'd like to show your audience a little more closely. We talked about how to blackout the slide quickly so that you can talk and you can do that by clicking this button. Click it again to bring your slide back. You can click the "..." to get some help, hide Presenter View or end your show.
Finally, you can navigate back and forth between slides by clicking the arrows to the left and the right of the slide numbers. You can also see how many slides there are, see what slide you're on and you can click to see all of your slides. To end the slideshow, you can simply click "End Slideshow" at the top of the screen.
