While attending conferences or meetings, we often need to prepare presentation slides. Microsoft PowerPoint is the most famous as well as a powerful tool in this regard. When prepared presentation slides are delivered in front of the audience a popup or notification may break their concentration. It makes a bad image of the presenter too. In order to keep yourself focused and avoid such an unwanted situation, you can Enable Presentation mode in Windows 11 and 10.
Presentation mode is pretty similar to the Quiet hours on Windows PC and DND (Do Not Disturb) mode available in smartphones. The purpose of this special feature is to mute the notifications automatically coming from various applications. New messages in the mailbox and Facebook alerts will also be silent temporarily. Additionally, it will mute all the alerts like calendar and reminder. Before starting any presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint, we recommend to Enable Presentation mode in Windows 10. It will help you to continue your demonstration without any interference. Microsoft included this wonderful feature in Windows Vista first, and presently it is available in all Windows 10 and 11 segments except Home.
