RM577178 - PowerPoint: Present with ease using a modernized Presenter View

Microsoft 365 Roadmap

Summary

When you present with Presenter View, finding the right tool or slide shouldn't break your flow. Presenter View in PowerPoint for Windows has a refreshed design: presenter tools, slide navigation, and the timer now sit together in one control bar, and a new slide thumbnail strip lets you see what's coming and jump to any slide. You can also collapse or resize panes to focus on what matters most as you present.
