Speaker notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll talk about speaker notes, and I\u2019ll guide you from being a hesitant presenter to a confident communicator.

So, keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;Why Speaker Notes Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>+1000 confidence!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Presentations are often packed with a lot of information. Speaker notes act as a safety net, reminding you of key talking points. This will reduce stress and allow you to deliver a presentation confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Smoother transitions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s normal to fumble between slides, but this can disrupt your flow, especially if you\u2019re already a little nervous. Speaker notes are great for smoothening your transitions and will help you navigate between topics in your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your slides should only have a few words on it. They are just there to compliment your presentation. So, what if you want to dive deeper into complex ideas, or provide additional context on a topic? Speaker notes are the right place for this. Add what you need in your speaker notes, without cluttering your slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Add Speaker Notes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While editing your presentation, select the slide you want to add notes to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for the <strong>Notes<\/strong> pane below the slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.png\" alt=\"Click on the notes button below your slide to add speaker notes in PowerPoint.\" class=\"wp-image-17339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.png 940w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-300x41.png 300w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-768x106.png 768w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-200x28.png 200w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-400x55.png 400w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-600x83.png 600w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-800x111.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Type your speaker notes directly into the Notes pane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.png\" alt=\"A preview of what speaker notes look like in PowerPoint.\" class=\"wp-image-17340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1.png 940w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1-768x231.png 768w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1-200x60.png 200w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1-400x120.png 400w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1-600x181.png 600w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-1-800x241.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These notes won\u2019t be visible to the audience during the presentation but you can view them in presenter view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2.png\" alt=\"A preview of what speaker notes look like in presenter view. \" class=\"wp-image-17341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2.png 940w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image-2-800x450.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Presenter View:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you start the slide show and your computer is connected to a projector, <strong>Presenter View<\/strong> appears on your screen.

He creates content and campaigns for SlideBazaar, a global platform that offers PowerPoint templates and tools used by professionals across industries. His work spans newsletters, long-form articles, product messaging, SEO projects, and video scripts. All centered around one goal. Helping people communicate ideas more clearly through better-structured presentations. Instead of treating slides as decoration, Swathi focuses on narrative flow, visual hierarchy, and the logic behind each frame. Born in Kerala and raised in Muscat, he brings a performer\u2019s instinct to his work, shaped by years spent traveling and playing music. That background influences how he thinks about presentations. Not as static documents, but as staged experiences that unfold in time. Today, he writes, teaches, and builds content that helps professionals turn messy ideas into sharp, confident slides that actually hold attention.","sameAs":["https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skpswat","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/swatkp\/reels\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/swatkp\/"],"honorificPrefix":"Mr","birthDate":"1995-01-02","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["presentations","PowerPoint"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Hindi","Malayalam"],"jobTitle":"Content Specialist","worksFor":"SlideBazaar","url":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/author\/swathi\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17346,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17337\/revisions\/17346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
