How to View Notes in PowerPoint While Presenting With One Monitor

Look for the Use Presenter View option in the “Monitors” option and click the check box to enable it.

Now, under the same section, begin the slide show by clicking one of the From Beginning or From Current Slide buttons.

That’s it. You’ll notice that your screen displays the presentation with various options and notes, while the audience screen shows only the slides.

If you didn’t see the presentation screen, right-click on a slide while the slide show is going on, and select

If you would like to turn off the Presenter View, uncheck its option under the Slide Show section.

Options Under Presenter View

Presenter View is quite a thoughtful addition and practically a lifesaver for teachers or corporate employees who are constantly required to refer to their notes during presentations. Under Presenter View, you have many options that you can utilize to enhance your presentations. 

1. Pen and Laser Pointer

Clicking the Pen and Laser Pointer gives you several options, such as enabling the Laser Pointer, which you can control through your mouse. You can also enable the Pen and change its ink color to draw or point to something on a slide without actually making any changes to the original slide. Keep in mind that you get the option to save pen writings when you end the slide show. 

Similarly, there is a Highlighter option that can be used to highlight something on a slide while presenting. Again, this doesn’t make any changes to the original slide by default.

2. See All Slides

The See All Slides option gives you an overview of all the slides in your presentation. Using it, you can jump to your intended slide instantly instead of going slide by slide.

Zoom into the Slide

This is another thoughtful option that lets you zoom into a particular section of the slide to focus your audience’s attention on that section. This is helpful when you don’t want to amend the whole slide but also want to bring focus to a particular part.

Then, there’s an option to black or unblack the current slide on your end.
