By Impran M N
Presenter View lets you keep speaker notes and a preview of upcoming slides visible only to you, while your audience sees a clean, distraction-free presentation. This is especially useful for business meetings, lectures, and webinars. This guide covers turning it on and using it well.
01Open your presentation design
Go into the Canva presentation you plan to deliver.
02Add speaker notes to your slides
Use the notes section below each slide to write reminders or talking points.
03Start Present mode
Click Present, then choose the Presenter View option instead of the standard fullscreen mode.
04Navigate using your notes and slide preview
Use the split view showing your notes and the next slide to stay on track while presenting.
05Share your screen correctly
If presenting over a video call, share only the audience-facing window so your notes stay private.
Frequently asked questions
Can my audience see my speaker notes in Presenter View?

Do I need Canva Pro to use Presenter View?
Presenter View is generally available to Canva users presenting from the platform, though check your plan for any feature limits.
Can I use Presenter View on a video call?
Yes, as long as you're careful to share only the presentation window and not your full screen.
Can I edit my notes during a live presentation?
It's best to finalize your notes before presenting, since editing mid-presentation can be distracting.
