Short answer
Can I use PowerPoint speaker notes in Webex?
Yes. Share the PowerPoint window in Webex and keep NotesPresenter open locally for private notes and timing.
Webex presenting
For Webex calls where your audience should see slides, not speaker notes.
Share the deck only
Choose the PowerPoint window when sharing so Webex participants see the slides rather than your whole desktop.
Keep notes local
NotesPresenter stays visible on your Mac with the current note, thumbnail context, and timing.
Avoid display juggling
Use one Mac screen for PowerPoint, speaker notes, and pacing instead of relying on a second monitor.
