How to Display PowerPoint on a 3rd Screen
Displaying a PowerPoint presentation on multiple screens allows the presenter to provide a full and varied PowerPoint presentation that is light years beyond a single screen presentation. Multiple screens allow the presenter to have different aspects of the presentation viewable simultaneously, such as the presentation slides on the audience’s monitor, slide notes on the presenters monitor and full view slides on a projector. Setting up your computer to display on multiple monitors and adjusting PowerPoint to work on with this configuration only takes a few steps.
