powerpoint presenter view not working mac 2021

Presenter view on powerpoint is not working. It only opens the slides, but not the notes. Anybody?

Hi, I found your post when trying to trouble shoot the same issue on my husband's MacBook Air (an older Intel one). After about an hour of frustration not solving the presenter view notes issue, we stumbled upon something you may want to try.


Open a PowerPoint and enter Presenter View. Bring your cursor to the right side of the screen and look for it to turn to a vertical bar with a double headed arrow running perpendicular through its center (although you may only see the left most arrow head). While it looks like this, click and drag to the left. If you're having the same problem we were having, it seems my husband's MacBook defaulted to showing the slide full screen and squished the notes pane all the way to the right.


I hope this works for you!

Thank you.


Yes, its working just fine in my daughter's mac (exactly the same: MacBook air m1 2021) but not in mine.It did at first work in mine but after I recorded a presentation and went back to presenter view, it didn't show anymore. Our configuration is exactly the same and the mac and Microsoft office is up to date.


And I deleted every Microsoft file and downloaded and installed it again yesterday, still didn't solve the problem.
