About Microsoft PowerPoint presenting

Microsoft PowerPoint presenting is a feature of Microsoft PowerPoint that makes use of multiple displays. The slides are shown on the display intended for the meeting attendees and an overview of the current slide, next slide and notes are shown on the display intended for the host. ClickShare can be used to fulfil the role of the slides display.

Prerequisites

The device must be connected to the ClickShare. For more information, see:
