- Go to the Slide Show tab and click “From Beginning”
- Click the Presenter View icon in the lower left corner or press Alt+F5
- This will show the current slide, next slide preview, speaker notes etc.
- Click the “See All Slides” button to view thumbnails of every slide
- Set up a dual monitor
- Extend your desktop over two monitors
- Start the slideshow on one monitor
- You can view the slides in Normal/Slide Sorter view on the second monitor
- Open a second instance of PowerPoint
- With the slideshow running on one screen, open a second PowerPoint window
- View the slides in Normal or Slide Sorter view in the second window
- Use the See All Slides view
- Start the slideshow
- Right click on the screen and select “See All Slides”
- This will show thumbnails of all slides along the right side
The key is to leverage Presenter View, dual monitors, or open a separate PowerPoint window to maintain visibility of all slides while the show runs on the main screen. Let me know if any of those solutions work for you!
