How to Present Google Slides While Viewing Private Notes on the Same Screen
Present Google Slides like a pro. Keep presenter notes, audience questions, and prompt scripts visible to you while sharing your screen.
Google Slides is the corporate standard for cloud presentations. However, its native "Presenter View" opens a separate browser popup that is notorious for causing screen share confusion on Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls.
The Google Slides Screen Share Limitation
When you click "Presenter View" in Google Slides, Chrome pops up an auxiliary window with notes and timers. If you share your whole desktop, meeting attendees can see this window whenever it overlaps the slide area.
How Presenter Notes Popups Fail Presenters
Presenters frequently fumble with window positioning, minimizing, and dragging notes windows off-screen. If you are on a single monitor, there is nowhere to hide the notes popup.
Overlaying Private Notes Directly on Google Slides
Chameleon allows you to copy your speaker notes into a hardware-excluded window that sits directly on top of your full-screen Google Slides presentation. You see both your slides and your talking points, while attendees only see your slides.
Advancing Slides Without Losing Note Focus
With Click-Through Mode enabled, clicking anywhere on the screen passes input events directly to Google Slides to change slides, while your notes stay pinned and visible.
