This is fantastic and was what some of our users were missing, however there seems to be no toggle switch to enable/disable it on a per-presentation basis.

As an education establishment our users are used to a 2160p 75" display and they pack a lot of information into their slides. Using the same slides for remote learning through Teams on a 1080p laptop (or worse) results in the active slide being tiny and the Teacher really struggling to use it. Those that have turned on the public preview (without realising) are now emailing me en mass asking how to turn off presenter mode.

Tony Stevens I agree though for a slightly different reason. If am collaborating with my Team on a presentation the last thing I need to presenter view as I would like to be able to edit the slides that we are discussing. There should be some way of disabling this feature. At present I have to stop sharing edit a point and then re-share the updated version and the whole process is ungainly.
