How to Present Google Slides with Speaker Notes on a MacBook

This method uses your MacBook's Extended Display feature to show the slides on a projector or external monitor while keeping your speaker notes private on your laptop screen.

1. Set up Extended Display: Connect your MacBook to the projector or external display and configure your display settings to Extend your desktop (not Mirror).

2. Start Presentation in Presenter View: Open your Google Slides deck. Click the arrow next to the "Slideshow" button and select Presenter View

3. Arrange Windows: Two windows will open: the main Slide Presentation and the Presenter View pop-up (with notes).

Drag the main Slide Presentation window onto the external display/projector.
Keep the Presenter View window (with your notes) on your MacBook screen.
