Presenter View
What is Presenter View?
Definition
Presenter View is a presentation mode that provides the presenter with additional information while a slideshow is being delivered. It can display speaker notes, slide previews, timing tools, and presentation controls on the presenter's screen while the audience sees only the current slide. This helps presenters stay organized and manage the flow of a presentation without exposing private notes or controls.
