No more confusion on switching screens, presenters can now view a presentation with speaker notes in Google Meet.
Speaker notes are important tools for any presenters, they will help remember important issues, such as key messages, statistics, or referred example cases. They act like a memory aid to remind presenters what to talk about on each of the slides, and what are the next topics of their presentation.
Formerly, when users present slides from their Google Meet, they have to switch screens between notes and slides. It might be inconvenient and sometimes causes misunderstanding as they are unsure which one is the presenting screen to the audience. Or even it might cause them to lose concentration while presenting.
Google understands this pain point, so they have tried to develop the speaker note feature. From now on, the presenter can see speaker notes while presenting Google Slides in Meet! It’s unnecessary to swap screens back and forth which helps improve their focus. Moreover, they can be aware of which topic should be presented next as well.
