![]() ![]() ![]() Useful if you switch to a panel discussion or Q&A, or are between presentations but are planning on continuing with the same slide deck. Just move your cursor up to the top of the screen and a toolbar pops up:Ĭlick on “Slides” and it’s a breeze to navigate through your slides without anyone in the audience seeing what you’re doing…Ĭlick on “Black” and it simply turns the secondary screen black, hiding your slides. What most people that use Keynote don’t realize is that when you’re looking at the presenter’s screen there are a bunch of neat things you can do. I particularly appreciate being able to see the slide coming next, helps me have smooth transitions in what I’m talking about and the points I’m making, plus it helps the dreaded “oh yeah, I did keep that slide in my deck” sort of glitch. Here’s how the presenter’s screen looked when I taught a class last week: If you’re organized enough to have lecture notes, they can be displayed on the screen too, little bullet points that remind you of the key topics you want to touch on while that slide is displayed on the screen. Keynote is smarter than that, however, and if you run in dual screen mode, you’ll find that the external display gets the full-screen slide, while the presenter’s screen shows the current slide, a thumbnail of the next slide, current time and elapsed time since you started the presentation. If you’re a PowerPoint junkie, though, it might be what you’re familiar with. The keyboard lets you access all sorts of nifty shortcuts, but it’s still very basic. By default, when you play a Keynote presentation and there’s only one display, the slides are full screen on both the computer and the second display. ![]()
