MicrosoftPreview exited, now GA: PowerPoint Presenter View in Teams
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!
Hi,
Very excited to suddenly have the preview available and see my notes on screen yesterday - complete auto cue experience. But then today, it has disappeared and I just have the PowerPoint main screen and can't see anything to press to bring my notes and slide preview panels back. How to do it please?
Megi-1912 Hi I found this answer on another forum and it works.
