Pictures of both screens (PC screen / Second screen) in Slideshow view (F5 key) for all 4 options:

Extend

The mouse cursor can only be on one screen at a time. It can of course be moved between the two screens, it takes practice.

You can drag all windows, icons, etc. with the mouse. from one screen to another, but in public computers (lecture rooms, etc.) it is not recommended - this option will remain visible for everyone in the future and confuses.

Notes

...

  • These choices are computer-specific - if one user has made a choice and left it, it will remain the same for the next one, no matter what username he logs into the given computer. A sure option for everyone is Duplicate.

  • The Powerpoint Slide Show menu should have the following options:
    Monitor: Automatic.
    Use Presenter View: activated.

  • If the screens are accidentally switched to the Extend view, they can be quickly switched in the Slide Show mode by pressing the Swap Presenter View and Slide Show button. Or even go to the Duplicate Slide Show view, where the same image is displayed on both screens.

  • So - feel free to use the F5 and Esc keys and the Win+P key combination during presentations.
