Here’s how to make the Presenter View appear on a different monitor on a Mac. If I move the videoconferencing view of the participants to another monitor, I have to look off to the side to see them, which makes it look like I’m not paying attention them. On my system, PowerPoint seemed determined to show the Presenter View on my laptop screen - where I wanted the participants to appear. Here’s a photo my son took while I was presenting to 20 people in several Asian countries last night:īut despite extensive Web research, I could not find a setting that determined what monitor PowerPoint uses for the Presenter View. That has to be there so I can share it on Zoom, Google Meet, or whatever system the client has requested, and the audience can see the slides. On the right is the audience view of PowerPoint. On the left, I have the Presenter View screen of PowerPoint. I’ve done this with Google Meet and Zoom the setup is the same either way. This also means that when I’m looking at the audience, I’m looking into the camera of my Mac laptop, so they see me looking at them. Ideally, the center monitor (my laptop screen) should show the audience. I wanted to duplicate that experience in the video workshop with three monitors.

When I deliver it by video, I divide it into two sessions of 90 minutes each, which is close to the maximum amount of time people in their homes can concentrate. My workshop takes about three and a half hours when delivered in person, including a couple of 15-minute breaks.
