Presenter view in Powerpoint shows others blank screen
It looks like it isn't possible to present to a team call with presenter notes, as they get a blank screen when that view is chosen. It is possible to use a normal presentation or to just share the window and step through the slides that way, but it isn't possible to get visibility of the presenter notes as part of a proper presentation. This was from a Macbook presenting to a Macbook from the desktop Teams application.

A workaround for this is to use Teams in the browser - I was able to share the presentation and use presenter view myself! But yes, this is definitely a bug in the software variant.

This is still a problem. I may need to use a different platform.

Yep, very annoying - I'm on macOS 10.15.5. Hopefully Microsoft Teams developers review this thread and are working on a fix!

Yes, this seems to be a widespread problem that needs fixing given the teams adoption for many companies these days. Switching to presentation view on windows works, but on Macs it pauses the sharing of that powerpoint file until you go back to the normal view. But normal presentation shows fine. It's just the presentation view that doesn't work where you can see all slides and type notes.

It is a bug on Mac. On Windows, it works fine.
