    Thank you for your feedback! We feel your pain and are addressing it with a quick mitigation via a keyboard shortcut for now: try clicking in the slide area, and press "Ctrl+Shift+X". The notes and thumbnail strip should be closed. Using the same keyboard shortcut key again can bring the presenter view back. This update is now available.

    At the same time, we are also working on hiding the presenter view by default on devices with small screen. It will be available soon.

    Again, thank you for giving the feedback and helping us make the product better!

    Hi Emily,

    Thank you very much for your assistance.

    How can we implement this on Microsoft Teams running on Mac Computers.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    The full screen mode doesn't allow you to observe the participant window and the chat whilst seeing the PPT. Is there a way to remove the notes section only?

    Thanks

    Hi MrDMESMITH,

    I've looked further, and it looks like a new feature added to the PowerPoint presentation.

    I don't see an option to disable it. You could click on ... three-dot button and click on Focus and Full-Screen mode to get a little bigger picture.

    Meanwhile, I'm checking some other available workaround and let you know.

    Regards

    Nik
