But fret no longer- Microsoft has introduced a feature called “Presenter Mode.”

If you press the highlighted button on the quick-launch bar it will launch you into a world of ultimate control as shown below:

This will be displayed on your secondary monitor by default, and your presentation on the other. You can go into File > Options and adjust this setting to your preference as well.

Some features include:

  • Progressing back and forth through your slides;
  • Changing the display format;
  • Zooming in and out of your slides;
  • Blacking out the screen;
  • Showing a preview of all slides at once and;
  • A handy timer which shows how long you have been running your presentation!

Now, you never need to worry again about moving your cursor all over your presentation.
