Deliver your presentation

To deliver your presentation, you can play your slide show in full screen view or use presenter view. When you play a slide show with two displays connected, your audience sees the full screen slide show on one screen while you see the presenter view on the other by default. If you prefer to play the slide show in full screen view on both displays, you must change the setting before you start the slide show so that the slide show is mirrored.

Note: Presenter view helps you manage your slides while you present by tracking how much time has elapsed, which slide is up next, and by displaying notes that only you can see (while also allowing you to take meeting notes as you present). For more information about using presenter view, see Use presenter view.
