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!
Please add the ability to switch back to the old view on a per presentation basis. Some of my classes are mixed-mode and I was putting my teams window on the projector for the in person students to see as well as the online students being able to see through teams. But I can't do that anymore as the slide is too small.
- I used be able to zoom into an area in a slide if I was sharing the PowerPoint application in sharing mode using the control key and scroll wheel . This was useful if there was detail on the page that may be hard to read. This does not seem possible with PowerPoint sharing. Is there an option to do this? I would also welcome the laser pointer
- I wholeheartedly agree with the laser pointer and other tools you get with the presenter view of PowerPoint itself.
