      PowerPoint will show a preview of the theme. On the right, you can choose from four color options.

    Follow the tips below to keep your audience's attention.

    Reduce the number of slides.

    To ensure that the material is presented clearly and understandably, and the attention of the audience does not weaken, the number of slides in the presentation should be minimal.

    Choose a font size that is comfortable for viewing.

    Slides must be legible from some distance. It will most likely be difficult for viewers to see the text if the font size is less than 30 points.

    Keep the material simple.

    You want the audience to listen to your presentation, not read the text from the screen. Use paragraphs or short sentences. Try to keep each element of the list to no more than one line.

    Some projectors cut off the edges of slides, so long sentences may not be fully visible.

    Make your presentation visual.

    Images, graphics, charts, and SmartArt graphics help your audience remember content better. Complete the text on the slides with suitable pictures.

    But do not forget that you should not overload the slide with either text or graphics.

    Make sure that labels on charts and graphs are clear.

    There should be no extra text, only the necessary minimum.

    Apply a suitable unobtrusive background.

    Choose an attractive and consistent template or theme that is not too flashy. The background and design should not distract attention from the essence of the information.

    At the same time, the colors of the background and text should not merge. PowerPoint's built-in themes use the contrast of a light background and dark text, or, conversely, a dark background and light text.

    For more information about using themes, see Apply themes and add color and style to a presentation.

    Check spelling and grammar.

    Always check spelling and grammar in your presentation so you don't lose the respect of your audience.

    Presenter Mode is a convenient presentation tool. You can simultaneously view a presentation with notes on one screen (for example, on a laptop) and project slides without notes onto another, larger screen that your audience can see.

    If you're using PowerPoint 2013 or later, simply plug in your monitors and PowerPoint will automatically set up Presenter Mode.

    • If presenter view is displayed on the wrong screen, you can quickly switch to another screen.

    • If you don't want to use Presenter View, disable it.

    Show start

    On the Slide Show tab, in the Start Slide Show group, click the From Start button.

    If you are working with PowerPoint on one monitor and want to switch to Presenter view, in Slide Show view click the icon in the lower left corner of the Controls panel, and then select Show presenter mode .

    Using controls in presenter view

    • To view all slides in a presentation, select View all slides .

      Tip: You will see thumbnails of all the slides in the presentation (as shown below), making it easy to navigate to a specific slide.

    • To get a better look at the details of the slide, click Zoom in on slide , and then hover over the part you want to zoom in on.

      For more information about zooming in, see Zoom in on part of a slide.

    • Use the Pen tool and Laser Pointer to point to a specific element or write ink on a slide.

      To disable the Pen, Laser Pointer, or Marker tool, press Esc.

    • To hide or show the current slide in the presentation, select Black or normal screen during slide show .

    You can use PowerPoint on your smartphone as a remote control to show slides and view speaker notes. For more information (and a video), see Use a laser pointer on your smartphone while giving a presentation in PowerPoint.

    Switching monitors dedicated to presenter mode and slide mode

    To manually select which screen displays your notes in Presenter View and which displays only your slides, on the taskbar at the top of the Presenter View window, click Display Options and select Switch between Presenter View and Slide Show .

    What notes look like in presenter view

    Tip: You can add notes either during a presentation (directly in Presenter View) or while editing a presentation. For information on how to add speaker notes to your presentation, see Add speaker notes to slides.

    When a computer is connected to a projector, the slideshow on your screen is in Presenter mode and only the slides are displayed on the projector screen. In this mode, you can view your notes during the show, and viewers will see only the slides.

    Notes are displayed in the area on the right. If you need to add or remove anything, just click the text box to change it. Text wraps automatically and a vertical scroll bar appears when needed. You can change the size of the text in the notes area using the following two buttons in the lower left corner of this area:

    To resize areas in Presenter View, hover over the vertical line that separates them, then click and drag.

    Tip: If you don't need to see the current slide at all in presentation mode and you want your notes to be larger, drag this vertical separator line all the way to the left.

    Disable presenter mode

    To turn off Presenter View while a presentation is in progress:

    On the Slideshow tab of the ribbon, clear the Presenter Mode check box.

    Keep updating your slides

    If you are working with a group of people to create your deck of slides, it is possible that changes are made to the slides up to the last minute. Traditionally, once you've started your presentation, your slides won't update. If you're using PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, you have the option to let your slides update your slides, even if you're presenting them, so you always have the most recent changes.

    You can enable this by going to the Slide Show tab on the Ribbon, selecting Customize Slide Show and checking the Keep Slides Updated check box.

    If you have already started your presentation and want to make sure the setting is enabled, you can do so in the Presenter view. Press button More slideshow options (which looks like three dots) and in the menu make sure Keep slides updated is checked.
