Preview exited, now GA: PowerPoint Presenter View in Teams
- Feb 13, 2021
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!

Emily Kirby I'm wondering if there is any update on this feature? I am new to Teams. Two weeks ago, when I went to share a PPT in Teams, the default was this new Presenter view! I was so excited because I could see my notes and my chat at the same time! Today, when I share a PPT, I no longer see the Presenter view. I also don't see an option to switch to Presenter view. I've tried "Ctrl+Shift+X" and it's not working. I'd love to find a way to get it back. Please let me know if I'm missing something. Thank you!

Th circle icon spins for sixty seconds and then closes. I have checked for updates, rebooted etc. The Mac is running the latest Mac OS.
