Turn Keynote Presenter Display off

I have three screens. IO do not need the Presenter Display on two of them. I must have one for other uses. How do I choose which screen to put the Presenter view on?

Hello Timothy Stringer,


The following instructions can help with presenting with multiple displays. Per the article Play a presentation on a separate display in Keynote on Mac:


If you have two or more external displays connected to your Mac, you can specify which one plays your presentation. The other displays become presenter displays, and you can customize their layout.

  1. Connect two or more external displays to your computer.
  2. Click the Play button in the toolbar on your Mac.
  3. Your presentation begins to play on one of the external displays. The other external displays and your Mac become presenter displays.
  4. To change what shows on the displays, click the Display Configuration button on any presenter display.
  5. Thumbnail images of up to six connected displays are shown. The primary presenter display has a star next to its name and the label Primary Display. It also has the presenter display toolbar and the slide navigator, which you use to jump to a different slide.
  6. Click Configure below the thumbnail of any display, then do any of the following:
    • Show the presentation on the display: Click Show Slideshow.
    • Stop playing the presentation on the display: Click Show Presenter Display.
    • Change the items that show on a presenter display: Choose any combination of options from the list. For example, you can set your presenter notes to show on the primary display and set the current and next slides to show on a third display.
    • Modify the layout of items on a presenter display: Click Customize Presenter Display, then make changes.

7. Click Done.


Thanks!
