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!
Ironically i am looking to use this feature, i have public preview enabled but i do not see the notes and thumbnails. I have the latest version, i have tried using the Ctrl+Shift+X thinking that maybe this was off, but this hasn't worked. Is there other reasons this might not be working ?
MicrosoftHi KennyJcc, Interesting.. Did this work for you before? What device are you on? (Mac, Windows?)

This is on a windows running win10, laptop. I haven’t seen this reported by anyone else and so seems quite strange behaviour. It almost feels like the functionality is there but not showing. I don’t know if this is normal behaviour but if I log on Teams via the web the functionality works as expected, just not using the Teams desktop app.They mentioned automatically disabling this feature for smaller screens with lower resoloutions. If you've got 12" laptops with 720p displays, that may be the cause.
- Thanks Tony. I saw this but no I have a larger 15” plus I have a larger monitor and still the same result.
- Yes it worked. For me and some other colleagues. All of us are using windows. My colleagues that are using Mac they just maximized the MS Teams video call window and the notes just showed up.
