    For everyone asking for a way to toggle presenter view, thank you for your feedback! We feel your pain and are addressing it with a quick mitigation via a keyboard shortcut for now: try clicking in the slide area, and press "Ctrl+Shift+X". The notes and thumbnail strip should be closed. Using the same keyboard shortcut key again can bring the presenter view back. This update will be available in a day or two.

     

    At the same time, we are also working on hiding the presenter view by default on devices with small screen. It will be available soon.

     

    Again, thank you for being a part of public preview and helping us make the product better!

Who's bright idea was it to include this feature without a toggle or setting option and did anyone actually QA test this on smaller screens, EG. Laptops.

I now have half my teachers complaining as the slides are too small on their laptops at home and all I can tell them is "Microsoft decided this was a good idea, nothing I can do..."
