What presenter notes do
Presenter notes give you a private control and guidance layer during live demos. You can keep key talking points visible, track timing, and move through slides confidently while your audience only sees the polished presentation view.
Quick answers
Can I control slides from the notes view?
Yes. Navigation controls and keyboard shortcuts let you advance, go back, or jump as needed.

Never forget a key point again
Stay confident and on-message during every demo

Write notes for each slide—key messages, value props, objection responses, metrics to mention. Format them however works for you.

Open the notes window
Click "Open Notes" to launch a separate window. Position it on your second monitor, laptop screen, or tablet—anywhere your audience can't see it.
3
Share your main deck
Screen share the presentation deck in Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet. Your audience sees the polished slides—never your notes.
4

Perfect for dual-monitor setups
Presenter notes are designed for two-screen presentations—the standard for modern demos and virtual meetings. One screen for your audience, one screen for you.
How it works: Share your presentation deck on your main monitor (or via Zoom/Teams screen share). Open the notes window on your laptop screen or second monitor. Your audience only sees the shared presentation—the notes window stays private.
Screen 1: Share your deck with audience (via Zoom, Teams, Meet)
Screen 2: View notes and control deck privately (laptop, tablet, or second monitor)
Seamless sync between both views—navigate from notes, deck updates instantly
Works with any screen sharing tool—no special plugins or software required
Single screen? No problem
Option 1: Use your phone or tablet
Open the notes window on your mobile device. It becomes your private teleprompter while you share your main screen.
Option 2: Toggle between windows
Keep notes open on a second browser window. Alt-Tab to check your talking points when needed.
Option 3: Print before presenting
Export your notes to PDF and have them on paper next to you. Old school but effective for certain scenarios.
