PowerPoint Presenter View is a feature that lets you see your presentation and speaker notes on one monitor while your audience sees the presentation on another monitor.
Our instructors teaching are often limited to a single computer screen, which means it’s difficult to use Presenter View. However, if you present through a Zoom meeting, that changes.
Let’s look at how you can use a PowerPoint presentation in Presenter View over Zoom with only a single screen or monitor.
This setup doesn't allow Poll Everywhere slides to activate and may affect other active learning technologies. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Technology team.
Use Presenter View in Zoom
- Open your presentation in the PowerPoint application .
- Open the Zoom application and join a Zoom meeting.
- Run the PowerPoint Slide Show, click the 3-dot button on the bottom, left-corner of the slide. Then click the Use Presenter View option.
- Navigate back to the Zoom application. On a Windows desktop, press the Alt+Tab and on a Mac, press Cmd+Tab until the Zoom application is selected.
- Share your screen in Zoom. Then select the application window that shows as your PowerPoint presentation in the full Slide Show view.
- If you are not automatically brought to that view, navigate to Presenter View in PowerPoint ( Windows: Alt+Tab or Mac: Cmd+Tab).
- Now, your Zoom attendees will see the slide show view while you can see the Presenter View and your notes.
