Are you wondering how to share PowerPoint on Zoom without showing notes? Don’t worry, you are at the right place! In this article, I’ll show you how to Zoom in a way that you can see your presenter notes, 0rr keynote or PowerPoint presentation, but your students will see only the slides. Zoom is one of the most prominent cloud-based video conferencing application out there. It helps schools, colleges, universities, businesses, and other organizations to bring their teams together in a virtual environment to get the work done.
Zoom presentations are the best way to get everyone together, even while working remotely. You may or may not have noticed that Zoom has six options when it comes to present your screen: Sharing your entire screen/Desktop, sharing the editing Window with a clean look, Sharing the slide show Window, using presenter view to show the audience your slides while you can see Presenter view, Running the Slide Show in a Window and sharing that window, and finally presenting your video beside your PowerPoint slides.
Follow the steps listed below on how to share PowerPoint on Zoom without showing notes:
- Open Zoom and select the Share Screen option and click on ‘Advance.’
- Click on ‘Portion of Screen’ and select ‘Share.’
- You’ll be able to see a green box which is going to be shared, you can be able to move it and resize it any way you like.
- Now, go to ‘Presenter View’ in PowerPoint and if you are using a Keynote on a Mac, then select ‘Rehearse Slide Show’ under Play button.
- Now, take the green box and adjust around the slide that you want your students to see.
Now, you can move through your presentation, and all the transitions will work normal. While you are clicking it, dragging it, or adjusting it, it’ll turn orange and Zoom tells you the screen sharing is being paused. This means, viewers are not seeing all the manipulations that you are doing. If you have only one monitor this is the best way you can do it. It’ll still show your notes while permitting students only to see what appeared inside the green box.
