Presenter View - PowerPoint
Presenter view allows the presenter to view slide notes and annotate slides while giving the presentation. The audience will only be able to see the slides and any annotations. This is available when the presenter is using two monitors (ex. a computer and a projector/screen) to present. Presenter view is now also available using only one monitor, which can be helpful in practicing presentations. This process also works in PowerPoint 2013.
