About This Feature

Overview

Presentation Focus is a slideshow assistance feature in WPS Office for Windows that helps you highlight key content while presenting. In WPS Office presentation mode, you can switch between a laser pointer, magnifier, and spotlight to guide audience attention more clearly.

Core capabilities include:

Laser Pointer: points to the current area being explained and supports red, green, and purple colors.
Magnifier: enlarges part of the current slide so small details are easier to show.
Spotlight: dims the surrounding area and keeps the current focus area more visible.

This feature is suitable for classroom teaching, meeting presentations, and product demos. It is available only in slideshow mode and can be opened from the right-click menu or the bottom toolbar.

Capability Summary	In slideshow mode, Presentation Focus can be opened from the right-click menu or bottom toolbar and lets you switch between Laser Pointer, Magnifier, and Spotlight. The laser pointer supports color selection, and the magnifier and spotlight include size-related adjustments.	PowerPoint supports turning the mouse into a laser pointer during a slideshow, changing laser pointer color, and using Presenter View controls such as zoom.	Google Slides supports full-screen presenting, Presenter view, a laser pointer, and a pen tool for annotations in the browser.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections separated by dividers into slides and supports full-screen presenting with keyboard navigation.	Adobe Acrobat mainly supports full-screen PDF presentation mode and PDF-to-PowerPoint conversion for presentation workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one entry combines Laser Pointer, Magnifier, and Spotlight in the same presentation workflow. Distinct: it can be opened from both the right-click menu and the bottom toolbar during a slideshow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance highlights laser pointer and Presenter View controls, while related focus tools are described across separate presentation controls rather than one combined focus panel.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides provides a laser pointer and annotation tools, but the official help page does not describe one integrated focus panel corresponding to magnifier and spotlight.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on turning pages into slide decks, and its official help page does not describe laser pointer, magnifier, or spotlight-style presentation focus tools.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on presenting PDFs in full screen or converting PDFs, and the official article does not describe pointer-based or spotlight-style focus tools for slide presenting.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to highlight the area you are explaining during a slideshow, WPS Presentation Focus offers a more centralized way to switch among multiple focus tools. Other products provide presentation-related options for their own scenarios, but their emphasis is different from a combined slide focus workflow.
