Using PowerPoint Presenter Mode on Classroom Computers

Issue/Question

How do I use Presenter Mode in PowerPoint on classroom computers? The slideshow is displayed on both screens.

Environment

  • WKU Classrooms

Cause

Instead of connecting both the monitor and projector to the computer a hardware splitter is used to ensure the same view on both screens.

Resolution

Presenter Mode cannot be used on classroom computers. If you have laptop computer, you may connect it to the video input in the classroom which may allow Presenter Mode to be used.
