Presenter Slides

[Lorin Mandaloniz]

Iwent through many Chat Zoom Supports without any help. The bot cannot understand my problems. The bot picked up one word from my questions and provided not remotely relevant solutions. It totally wasted a few hours of my time in several days.

I teach on zoom and one of my students has the same problem. She was able to view my shared screen until recently but now she is the only one in class who cannot see the image. Can some please help Helen and myself?

So you're unable to see anything related to Zoom when someone else is screen sharing, including not seeing the shared screen, nor any of the Zoom controls? It would be helpful if you could provide a full screen shot under these circumstances, so we know exactly what is and is not visible.

My DellXPS8940 computer is just over a year old. I have re-installed Windows 10, updated all the drives, run CHKDSK, optimized drives, run anti-virus, antispyware, increased the Virtual memory size, re-installed Zoom, etc. Right now I can see presenter's slides or shared screens, but I still cannot have my camera on. At the meetings I attended, one must have camera on to talk or ask questions.

Using Presenter view is a great way to view your presentation with speaker notes on one computer (your laptop, for example), while only the slides themselves appear on the screen that your audience sees (like a larger screen you're projecting to).

Now, if you are working with PowerPoint on a single monitor and you want to display Presenter view, in Slide Show view, on the control bar at the bottom left, select , and then Show Presenter View.

You can use PowerPoint on your smartphone as a remote control to run your presentation and view your speaker notes. See Using a laser pointer on your smartphone when presenting in PowerPoint for more information, including a brief video.

To manually determine which screen shows your notes in Presenter view and which shows only the slides themselves, on the task bar at the top of Presenter view, select Display Settings, and then select Swap Presenter View and Slide Show.

When your computer is connected to a projector and you start the slide show , Presenter View appears on your computer's screen, while only the slides appear on the projector screen. In Presenter view, you can see your notes as you present, while the audience sees only your slides.

The notes appear in a pane on the right. If you need to add or delete something, simply click in the text box to edit it. The text wraps automatically, and a vertical scroll bar appears if necessary. You can change the size of the text in the Notes pane by using the two buttons at the lower left corner of the Notes pane:

If you're working with a team of people to create your slide deck it may be that changes are being made to the slides right up to the last minute. Traditionally once you've started your presentation your slides wouldn't update. If you're using PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 you have the option to let your slides be updated by your team even as you're presenting so that you always have the up-to-the-minute changes.

If you've already started your presentation and you want to make sure that setting is on, you can do that from Presenter view. Select the More slide show options button (which looks like three dots) and on the menu make sure Keep Slides Updated is checked.

By doing this process, you now have a two-monitor setup. You can present a PowerPoint slide show on one screen while having other applications open on the other screen, keeeping those other apps private to yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I have installed both the Add-on and the extension. I have also added Slido to the presentation. I can visit the slido website and answer questions so it is all working well except for the presenter view. Let me explain more.

When I need to start a slide show, Slido says I must use Slido in order for their slides to work. I have two buttons to choose from - Googles And Slidos. When I choose the green slido button, I can present the slideshow from the beginning OR I can present the slideshow from the current slide. There is no option to open presenter view. When I use this green Slido option, the slideshow starts and takes up my entire screen. When I hit escape to leave the entire screen, the slideshow ends.

So it will have to be the less professional - switch between google presenter view (slides window) and the slido presenter window until it is implemented (which based on curt reply seems like no plans at this stage).

All - Bumping up this again. I need to make presentation with Slido to a big audience and am hoping somehow I can get to see the speaker notes while presenting. Presenting from another device is not an option.

When presenting with Google Slides, there is the option for Presenter view where the Pop-out of your notes will appear, its best if you have another screen to pull them over to if you are presenting from the one screen as the speaker notes would still be there. Ive used Duet for my Iphone/Ipad to use as another screen to pull my speaker notes over to when using my computer in Present mode.

There are three methods you can use to screen share a PowerPoint presentation in a Zoom meeting. If you have dual monitors, you can share a slide show while viewing the presenter's notes on another monitor. If you have a single monitor, you can also start the slide show in a window so you have access to other meeting features while sharing your presentation.

If you have other participants presenting portions of the PowerPoint, you can give them slide control in Zoom, so that they can control the slideshow on their end, without needing to ask you to move the slides forward. Additionally, PowerPoint slides can be shared as a Virtual Background for a more immersive sharing experience.

Follow these steps if you have a single monitor and want to share your PowerPoint presentation in slide show view, but have it contained in a window rather than in full screen. This is useful if you need to access meeting features, such as in-meeting chat or managing participants, while sharing your PowerPoint presentation.

Note: Be sure you select the PowerPoint window, not the entire screen. Sharing the PowerPoint window only will allow you to use other features without interrupting the view of the presentation.

But in the academic world, these rules have fallen on deaf ears. Or if they have been heard, they have not been implemented. In this world, the slides look more like book pages than visual aids. If you have ever been at a professional conference either as an audience member or as a presenter, you probably know what I mean.

The trend of busy slides starts early on in our professional training. Repeated exposure teaches us the rules of engagement in these types of settings. We see what other more senior and more accomplished colleagues do and we replicate. The lesson I was learning was that to give the audience as much value as possible, I had to create a slide deck chockfull of information.

After my training, my perspective changed. I started thinking more about the audience and their needs. And I realized that the way we present our work verges on disrespectful. Reading our slides is not serving the audience. It is serving us.

Creating slide decks that resemble books and reading them to the audience does not help you get your message across better. What does help is putting more thought into the talk and less work into the slides.

Before you get in front of the audience spend some time thinking about what you want to accomplish by the end of your presentation. What would you like the audience to feel, think, or do during or after your talk? Remember that you are there for them, not for you. Are you there to make them think differently about an established practice or belief in your area of expertise? Are you there to make them feel excited about new possibilities in your field? Do you want them to change the way they work with clients? Building your presentation around that objective will make it easier to choose what information is relevant to present and what is superfluous.

Think about the mental effort it requires to do two cognitively demanding tasks simultaneously. Chances are people in your audience can listen well and they can read well. But when you are asking them to do both at the same time, you are asking them too much. When you expect your audience to listen to you and you also put a dense slide in front of them to read, their attention will be split. They will shift back and forth between speaker and slide and the end result will be that they will miss some of what you say and they will forget most of what they read. First, they will tune you out and by the end they will check out. By the time the next speaker presents, they will be mentally exhausted!
