How to properly present PowerPoint slides in Microsoft Teams

[@KevinStratvert]

⏭ Here's a playlist of all my videos on Teams: kzbin.info/aero/PLlKpQrBME6xJ4Mxv00syl8iOSgL-GVLMG

[@user-gh2lf1zw3r]

It should be really easy in this day and age to share the teams meeting on one side of the screen and the PowerPoint presentation in the second half of the screen, but it really isn’t. Am I missing something here?

[@stevekatz1617]

A number of people have asked if there is a way to show a laser pointer when uploading the presentation to team (first option presented) but I have yet to see an answer to this question. Is this possible?

[@abirpanchwagh6914]

I will watch it

[@purvitripathi8843]

Great help !!! 🙌🙌

[@stevenhaught7582]

Kevin -- you have single-handedly advanced the average person's knowledge of Microsoft technologies and increased their productivity by leaps and bounds. Now that you are going solo, hope your contributions are well rewarded. You rock!

[@ewade2705]

Mr. Stratvert, you're the best. You are my "go-to" person when it comes to all things Microsoft. I'm constantly asked to create presentations for various departments and my work, and now that Teams is another option instead of Zoom, our industry is beginning to use it more and more. Your instructions are clear, easy to understand and they are all amazing. Thank you for the continuous support to those of us who need help when it comes to Microsoft's many wonderful office tools.

[@mgbroussard]

voice pace is just right to follow pointer, clear understandable speech, love this. I intentionally look for Kevin's videos for all help first

[@MrAntwaun_MBA]

I have a big presentation in about a week and I was so worried about my PowerPoint slides because I didn’t know how to properly present them. This video helped a lot and I can now just focus on editing my slides. Thanks a million!!! 🙏👍🏼

[@terryjohnson9592]

Just started using Teams for my company [Technical Sales]. Presentation by Kevin is very well executed. Voice is assuring and pace just right. Looking forward to using Teams and its many features for customer presentations.

[@InwoodRoz]

I'm a Read Aloud-er and I took photos of all the illustrations in the book. My idea was that the kids could see the great artistic details while I read the story. My teacher and I tried hard to accomplish it and now, thanks to you, Kevin, we'll take another run at it.

[@LisaGoddard117]

Fantastic timing. I am preparing some PowerPoint slides to use in a virtual training scenario to train some colleagues in SharePoint online. I have usually sat next to people in the office to train them one to one but with lockdown and working from home have been asked to train them virtually. I am not a trainer but have been using SharePoint in my job as an Intranet Manager for a number of years and will happily share my knowledge. Until lockdown I hadn’t attended virtual meetings let alone any virtual training. But I have been doing some research and preparing a training manual with some hands on exercises along with a couple of presentations. I have done a pre and post course questionnaires in Microsoft forms and am taking it all very seriously as I want us all to have the best outcome and it not just be me presenting.

[@michellemedler4346]

Since lock down your tutorials have helped so much. Thank you.

[@merrymarielou2862]

Thank you it was a big help, I've been sick and tired with clicking from time to time the ppt and MS teams window, but now I know how to do it. Thanks.

[@patricebarrett5845]

Who knew ! Two quick steps could be so life changing! You're right I hate not being able to see my chat box! Thanks Kevin!

[@k.c1126]

Kevin, this was the best video on this topic I've seen. I've shared this info with colleagues who were having this problem, and now they can see the screen and the chat at the same time. A couple of points of caution for people using these methods: sharing the desktop version (the second method) means you can see the Teams meeting chat, but if you type into the Teams window you will have to navigate back to the PPT window afterwards. If you use the web-based PPT, be sure to enable font embedding before you upload into Teams or use fonts that are available with PowerPoint Online.

[@macanbhaird1966]

Thanks - I think I went from hating MS teams to liking MS teams in nearly 9 minutes. Great presentation. For those on Macs you need to change your security settings and this works really well.

[@durelltrago62]

Kevin, your knowledge and presentation skills are so helpful. Thank you.

[@kelvineelijah6809]

Thank you so much man. You don't know the life your video saved today. Am not used to teams but your video has made it easier for me to present my project for marking. I appreciate it a lot man..

[@fionakelty1079]

You started at a good pace, but got faster and faster! I was trying to take notes, would appreciate a pause after each bit of information. But it's good, very helpful, so thank you very much! :-)

[@trentthiel6665]

The main issue with presenting powerpoint in Teams is trying to see your notes as a speaker and participants raising their digital hands for questions.

[@JustJessee]

Awesome options I'll definitely try out next time I'm presenting. My usual go to was just going into Reader mode from View.

[@camelitabrown7976]

Hi Kevin, I have hyperlinked docs in my PowerPoint slides, but when in MS Teams, when I click on the hyperlink/s it shows on my screen, but my audience is unable to see the hyperlinked doc. What do I need to do for my audience to see my hyperlinked docs? Hope you can assist.

[@julietkelly7215]

My boss had presentation nightmare and I wasn't familiar with Presenting in Teams. I am now! Thank you

[@claudemaire9741]

🙂 Great : well done, synthetic, crystal clear explanations and, above all, perfect English 100% understandable for a French like me !

[@gwhittrainers9779]

This was very helpful! Loved the way you described all the things I was doing wrong!

[@meropa100]

This is very helpful to many people in my office! They do not know it.

[@MissOlympia2023]

Great tips 😁 Thanks 4 sharing. I have to present to my class on Sunday & we are using MS Teams. This will be my first time using MS Teams. I am a grad student in the MSW program online.

[@gtwgtwgtw]

This was super helpful. I like that you have 2 different options and I was completely unaware that you could put up PPT into Teams for sharing. Thanks so much!

[@scottmills6720]

I love these videos and am devouring them all in the evenings after school after everyone has gone to bed. I am a public school teacher in NC, and I teach middle school band. We are finishing our first week of school and we are using Microsoft Teams and Canvas. I am doing daily live classes on Teams and there are so many teachers figuring and sharing useful things, and some band directors in our area are doing the same. Band is sooooo ooooooooo difficult to do without the kids being able to hear and play with each other. I understand that it is impossible to recreate a band rehearsal experience where the kids are playing and in real time can see me and hear their classmates playing at the same time. I am not trying to create that. What I can do is share their individual sheet music that they can read and play from an uploaded mp3 recording. Now, they can all do this as we are in a live Teams meeting. What I cannot do is go from student to student and simply click and check on "little Johnny" with where ever he is in the piece of music and watch his posture, horn carriage, and how well he is playing along with the backing track recording with correct notes, tone quality and phrasing, and then click on "little Suzy" to do the same thing, and then go on throughout the entire class. At the end of the allotted time of say 5 minutes of rehearsing something, with me checking in and out of all of them, I could give real and effective feedback for them to get better and therefore mirroring a little bit of what we would be doing in class in face to face normal teaching. So Kevin, is there a way that I could have the students begin rehearsing and then simply click on each student so that I and only i can hear them playing, all while everyone else continues to rehearse and not be affected as well?

[@musili8966]

Create different tutor groups, as channels, so that once you've finished giving the general instructions, each kid goes into their channel to practice.

[@ianweinkselbaum2215]

A great video that should be part of any Corp ITs training for companies transitioning to Teams

[@kshitizgv2602]

I saw most of your videos, they are amazing. It's always a new thing to learn each day for me. Thank you so much!!

[@paigenewsome9531]

Thanks! Interview today and needed to present a slide deck. This really helped!

Thanks a lot for making this video. I have to present in 30 minutes and your video definitely helped me :) Edit: The presentation went well! Thanks a lot :)

[@carreroster]

Thank you! It was very helpful.

[@meriamjodloman4173]

Learning a lot from your videos! Thanks.

[@staceylyngraham]

Thank you so much! Love your open, approachable presentation style and will definitely be watching more.

[@Otterbandana]

I would add the option of using two screens. Shows full PPT presentation fir participants, allows you to see their faces, and also, as presenter, you can use the presenter mode containing notes (yet your participants don’t see it)

[@TCt83067695]

Or they can just fix Teams to have an overlay even if I'm full screen to see participants and chat window and so on. All this workaround when they can just fix their inferior software

[@danconnors8961]

Hoping I can get my PPT to run in teams tomorrow. The learning curve is steep, but getting after it. Thanks so much for your in depth explanation

[@dottleluce]

I tend to use the notes section in ppt a lot when presenting. If you're like me, in teams, use share > PowerPoint window then in ppt, press alt f5 (which presents slide show in presenter view). This way you can see the notes, how long you've been presenting, and what the next slide is while your audience will only see the current slide in full screen

[@iLikeEngliish]

Thank you! I only came to this video for this. I have interview tomorrow hopefully this works for me.

[@dottleluce]

@@iLikeEngliish good luck! Let me know how it goes. I support you!

[@creative45630]

Thank you - that’s all I needed to know. In typical Microsoft fashion this video is over-engineered and doesn’t actually do what the user needs!

[@magtazeum4071]

Thank you XXX ..this was very useful..You earned a new subscriber!

[@daisybentley4448]

This was soo helphelpful thank u Kevin 💓

[@KH-rr2dt]

Thanks this was really easy to understand Hopefully will help me with an upcoming interview

[@AdityaKumarSharma1127]

Hi Kevin, A better suggestion is to share your powerpoint window on teams --> then put the powerpoint on slideshow mode --> you can also have you powerpoint in presenter mode --> but participents will only see full screen slide show mode. I always use this and it's really easy to manage the presentation in case I need to see my subtitle in slides without letting my participents know about it.

[@mariachou0402]

Yes I do this too and it seems like a much more efficient way to me. You can also then use the tools in presenter mode such as a laser pointer or pen.

[@reynatre-inta9577]

Thank you! It helped me a lot!

[@marcozorzi6770]

Great explanation Kevin 👌 thank you a lot!

[@synrobyn]

The last one was very helpful. Thank you!

Excellent video Kevin. Thank you.

[@gravitasdetroit]

Love this! you saved me today

[@bernardsheridan1701]

Hi Kevin, thanks for the video, really interesting and informative. Can you advise on the presenter notes and how these would be available to the presenter and not the audience when making use of Teams - is it possible to do this?

[@rx2z14]

I am about to do my first one and luckily I have multiple screens to use, so I’ll have the meeting on one and my PP with notes on the other.

[@charlesizquierdo7431]

Thnks Kevin, today i had presentation and everything worked great. Thnks again for the tip

[@brentib]

Wow! This was great. Thanks

[@markfrench2951]

Well done- clear and 2 good options above the typical default use.

[@joedaney712]

also I didn't know about directly sharing the ppt file, that looks great in the right situation.

[@mnr146]

Thank you Kevin. This is really helpful.

[@ellasalazar6961]

Thanks, Kevin!

[@qyangutube]

very helpful thanks

[@drsuzytv7232]

Thank you Kevin - I love your presenting style - it gives me a chance to work through things slowly - which is needed if you are struggling to do things. Great

[@christinaclementi1968]

You are amazing. Thanks so much for your videos

[@tessellatiaartilery8197]

Invaluable advice, another great video. Thanks so much.

[@kvdudley]

Thanks for your videos! As I train my company to use Teams, I will need to show some PowerPoint, demo in Edge, resume the PowerPoint, demo in Edge, and so on. It was very easy to switch between shared content in Skype for Business, but Teams forces you to stop sharing and then share again. This is not a clean swap of windows as there will be a moment with nothing shared. Using Share Content > PowerPoint works better, but only one way (and I lose cool features of PowerPoint). It is easy to go from PowerPoint to Edge, but then when I go back to PowerPoint, it resets the deck to the beginning. Thanks!

[@chriss2595]

MS Teams isn't mature yet.

[@MrAllsteve]

Select share a screen if you have more than one monitor and that allows you to show anything on the screen selected without stopping the share.

[@galendalrymple7577]

Open up all the things you plan to share (in your example, PowerPoint and Edge). Once you share your entire screen instead of a specific tab, you can ALT-Tab between items without having to stop sharing.

[@joejoethetireman]

Another great video. You rock. I have been having issues with this and have not had time to play with it.

[@2dogbull]

Thank you for the information, Kevin!!!

[@ismailtawfeekbadr2363]

Very helpful video, before I share my screen, I start my slide show,then use alt tap function, then I start share screen, I found a full screen version of power point ,that I can choose for share, I think it's little bit easier

[@hinna0205]

Wow this is what I exactly needed! thanks a lot!

[@joedaney712]

Nice video, thank you. I usually have two monitors and setup for full screen on one and the navigation view on the other. Share the full screen and use the other to navigate, see notes and the next screen coming up. It's not completely ideal as teams window gets obscured but I think it provides the best experience for the other users. May be the same as sharing the single window like you show. We pretty much exclusively use the app and not teams inside the browser.

[@SuperAirplanemaster]

Thank you this a big help I appreciate still pretty new y to Teams

there is an option to download a microsoft stream videos with the owner permission, but is there any other way to download those videos if we know the link.

[@christopherchurch949]

Valuable topic/steps. A suggestion... "chrome" is a Tech Enthusiast discussion of all that stuff we don't want to see. Break it down... chrome = "a bunch of stuff that may distract your audience". I think you wore out the word "chrome".

[@jhorneman]

I was about to write "but presenter view" but then I discovered there's a different video on that ;)
