MicrosoftPreview exited, now GA: PowerPoint Presenter View in Teams
Description
Wish you could get some extra help behind the scenes while presenting in a Teams meeting? Check out our new Presenter View! Once you select a PowerPoint file from the Teams Share Tray, ...
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!
I used this view for the first time yesterday and it was great, HOWEVER, the slides didn't appear in the recording. Has anyone else experienced this?
I had this happen yesterday too. I hadn’t connected it to presenterview until I saw your post, but that makes sense.
- Thanks for the validation @imunck. I did a lot of testing after the shock of the fail (a briefing for 100+ managers across my organisation!) and slides were definitely not appearing in a recording when I used presenter view but would appear if I shared the presentation window. I asked about this at a Microsoft webinar today but they couldn't give me an answer. I won't be using it again until I can trust the full functionality.
- I just tested this out and recorded a meeting using presenter view and the slides were recorded
- Thanks NikkiChapple_, I'll try again 🙂
