How to Use Notes in Google Slides
Speaker notes in Google Slides allow you to remind yourself of key information when doing a presentation. Once you’ve added your speaker notes, if you’re projecting your presentation or you’re using dual displays, you can get the speaker notes to display just for you. Your slides will show on the second display or the projector without the speaker notes being visible. To use notes in Google Slides:
Open your Google Slides presentation and select a slide.At the very bottom of the screen, you’ll see a space to add speaker notes—select this area to add your notes. You can add notes to as many slides as you wish. When you’re ready to present, press the arrow next to Slideshow and select the Presenter view option. This will open two pages. One shows your presentation, which you can share to a projector to display it. The other shows your notes alongside some thumbnails of the slides.Click Next to move to the next slide in your presentation.
The notes for each new slide will appear on the right. You can work through your presentation using these speaker notes to help you.
