Use Presenter Tools with Two Screens

Presenter view helps you manage your slides while you present by tracking how much time has elapsed, showing which slide is next, and displaying notes that only you can see (while also allowing you to take meeting notes as you present). With one display, you can practice your presentation in presenter view. With two displays, your audience sees the presentation on one screen while you see the presenter view on the other.

1.   From the Menu Bar, click View > choose Presenter View
