Windowed notes
For presenters who want notes beside PowerPoint instead of hidden behind it.
Avoid switching windows
Keep the notes window visible beside the deck so you do not have to jump between apps mid-presentation.
Share only the deck
In Zoom, Teams, or Meet, share the PowerPoint window so the audience sees slides while notes stay local.
Keep slide context
Use the current note, thumbnails, and timing beside PowerPoint instead of a disconnected notes document.
