Troubleshooting Presenter View

 

Presenter and audience views are reversed

Screens are not mirrored after exiting Presenter View

If Presenter View is enabled in PowerPoint and the displays are set to duplicate, PowerPoint will automatically enter extend mode when starting a slideshow. Typically PowerPoint will reset the displays to duplicate when exiting the slideshow. However, in certain circumstances, it may fail to do so and you may need to manually set the displays to duplicate to restore the original configuration.

  1. Press the keyboard's Windows logo key + P.
    Press the Windows key plus P on your keyboard. 
  2. From the PROJECT banner that opens at the right of your screen, select Duplicate.
