PowerPoint and using external projector on macOS - Microsoft Community


i using latest version of powerpoint on macbook air , external projector. when try display presenter view on macbook slide show on projector, projector switches slide show mode (toolbar disappears) , replaced full-screen view of desktop wallpaper.

i have tried every combination of using 'set-up slide show' display slideshow on primary monitor, secondary monitor (projector, in case) every time can ever projector display desktop wallpaper, never slide show itself. i've tried doing projector mirrors primary monitor similar result -- slide show on macbook display, desktop wallpaper shown on projector.

i thought might issue projector or macos yet every other app behaves expected, including keynote. happens in powerpoint.

can help? it's driving me insane!

thanks responding, cliff, appreciate it.

with regard (a), think pretty explained how fault reproduced... connect projector secondary display, launch powerpoint, set-up slide show display on projector, start slideshow, fail. can't provide screenshots since failure on external display won't let me screenshot it.

as far (b) concerned, don't think it's wise post complete screenshot of 'about' window in public since includes identifiable information (especially in light of recent microsoft security failures) prudent keep private. however, version 15.34 (170411). i'm on office insider fast program.

in terms of (c), trying on projector, have done. repeatedly. on variety of external displays. fails in every instance.

having said this, guess what? managed resolve issue! i've googled issue , found many people experiencing yet answer seems to use 'set slide show' select correct monitor. problem use multiple desktops on macbook , had 'pinned' powerpoint desktop 2 (my work desktop). when un-pinned , associated desktops started working expect!

request: can microsoft please raise improvement powerpoint works correctly multiple desktops on macos? apple has made work keynote can done!

thanks
