When preparing a presentation in
0:01
PowerPoint, many people summarize only
0:03
the essential content on the slides.
0:05
However, sometimes what's written there
0:07
is not enough to clearly explain
0:08
everything you want to say during your
0:10
talk. In such cases, using speaker notes
0:12
can be extremely helpful. In PowerPoint
0:14
365, every slide has a notes section
0:17
located just below the slide area. This
0:19
notes section allows you to write
0:21
additional information or key points you
0:23
want to mention while speaking, but that
0:25
do not need to appear on the slide
0:26
itself. This feature is useful to help
0:28
guide your presentation and ensure you
0:30
don't forget any important detail. To
0:32
use this, simply click in the area
0:34
labeled notes below each slide and type
0:35
in your notes. These notes are not
0:38
visible to your audience during the
0:39
presentation, but can be seen by the
0:40
presenter in presenter view, which
0:42
supports you in delivering your talk
0:43
with more confidence and clarity.
0:45
Another way to access and manage your
0:46
notes is by going to the view tab on the
0:49
ribbon. From there, you can select notes
0:51
page to see each slide along with its
0:53
corresponding notes in a dedicated
0:55
layout. This makes it easier to prepare
0:57
and review your talking points for each
0:59
slide. This method works the same for
1:01
every slide in your presentation. Each
1:03
slide will have its own unique notes
1:04
section. You can personalize your notes
1:06
according to the specific content of
1:08
each slide, making your presentation
1:10
more organized and effective. Adding
1:11
speaker notes is a simple yet powerful
1:13
way to improve your presentation
1:15
delivery. It helps you stay on track,
1:17
avoid forgetting key ideas, and speak
1:19
more fluently. Mastering this feature
1:21
can greatly enhance how you communicate
