About This Feature

Overview

Presenter View is a built-in slideshow support feature in WPS Presentation on Windows. It helps presenters review the current slide, the next slide preview, speaker notes, and timing information while presenting.

Core tasks include:

Turn on Presenter View from the Slide Show tab.
Review current-slide and next-slide information in one workspace.
Read speaker notes and track elapsed time while presenting.
Use presentation tools and keyboard shortcuts during a slideshow.

It fits common scenarios such as business presentations, classroom teaching, and training sessions. It helps when you need to check notes while speaking or keep better control of presentation pacing. A practical difference is that key presentation information and tools are grouped in one view.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides Presenter View for checking the current slide, next slide preview, notes, and a timer, with tools such as pen, laser pointer, and magnifier during a slideshow.	PowerPoint Presenter View shows the current slide, next slide, speaker notes, timer, and also includes thumbnails, zoom, annotation tools, and a temporary black screen option.	Google Slides provides Presenter view, speaker notes, multi-display presentation options, annotation tools, and a laser pointer in supported browser-based presentation workflows.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections into slides and presents them full screen, but its official help states that speaker notes are not supported.	Acrobat focuses on full-screen PDF presentation and page transitions for document display, rather than a slide-based presenter-notes workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the current slide, next slide, notes, timer, and common presentation tools together in one presentation workspace for direct slideshow delivery.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents a broader presenter control set, including thumbnails and black-screen controls; both provide notes and next-slide preview.	Compared with WPS: Google supports presenter workflows in the browser and on multiple displays, but some display options depend on Chrome and an extra monitor.	Compared with WPS: Notion is useful for turning page content into slides quickly, but its official limitations say speaker notes are not supported.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented toward PDF viewing and transition setup, and its official presentation guidance does not describe a slide presenter-notes view.
