When you are making a Powerpoint presentation over a Zoom session, you are working with two applications that think they are the center of your computing universe. That makes it very difficult to know what is going on in your Zoom room if you are showing a Powerpoint that has taken over your screen.

Don’t do that! You don’t have to operate Powerpoint in “Full Screen” mode, make it into a window so you can see other things too!

To display PowerPoint presentations in a window and not full screen just do the following:

• Select “Set up Slide Show” on the “Slide Show” tab
• Select the radio button for “Browsed by an individual (window)”
• Start your PowerPoint show

That’s it! Now you can see what’s going on in Zoom while you are presenting a PowerPoint.
