This new version allows presenters to enjoy an unobtrusive toolbar with simple buttons on hand to control the show. Plus, this tiny toolbar offers other helpful features in its small package.

The features in this area allow you to do even more with your presentation. Here, we\u2019ll point out a few notable ones.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_Your_Speaker_Notes\"><\/span>Open Your Speaker Notes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you like to use the speaker note feature for talking points during your presentation, you can open them by selecting \u201cOpen Speaker Notes\u201d in the menu. You\u2019ll get a separate window that you can control and close when you finish with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-724118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/SpeakerNotesWindow-GoogleSlides.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Speaker Notes window\" width=\"650\" height=\"389\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_on_the_Laser_Pointer\"><\/span>Turn on the Laser Pointer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With the built-in red laser pointer, highlighting parts of a slide is a breeze. Click \u201cTurn on the Laser Pointer\u201d in the menu. You can click it again to turn off the laser pointer or use the \u201cL\u201d key on your keyboard for a quick shortcut.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-724117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/TurnOnLaserPointer-GoogleSlides.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Click Turn On Laser Pointer\" width=\"650\" height=\"486\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enable_Auto-Play\"><\/span>Enable Auto-Play<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you prefer your slideshow to play on its own, select \u201cAuto-Play\u201d in the overflow menu. You\u2019ll see a pop-out list of time intervals for each slide. Choose one and watch the show play automatically.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-724116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AutoPlay-GoogleSlides.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Choose AutoPlay in Google Slides\" width=\"650\" height=\"499\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also hit \u201cLoop\u201d for the continuous playing of your slideshow. When the presentation reaches the last slide, it will restart from the beginning.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Slideshow_Options\"><\/span>More Slideshow Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the bottom of the overflow menu is a \u201cMore\u201d option. When you select this, you can do things like beginning a Q&amp;A with your audience, downloading your slideshow as a PDF or PowerPoint file, or printing the presentation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-724115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PresenterToolbarMore-GoogleSlides.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Presenter Toolbar More options\" width=\"650\" height=\"326\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also pick \u201cKeyboard Shortcuts\u201d to open a separate window.
