Hello Jerome,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft community. Based on your post, we understand that, when you sharing PowerPoint presentation on Teams (Screen sharing), left side Notes (as per our below screenshot) will be visible and you want to hide it. Given this situation, we would like to suggest you to start Slide Show for your PPT, it helps to show only current open slide.

For Slide show option, open your PowerPoint file and search for Slide show tab and select from binging or current slide (based on your requirement) select an option.

If we misunderstood your concern , we request you to kindly provide us detail information and screenshot about your PPT notes which you wants to hide from your presentation.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Ankita Vaidya,

Thanks for your answer. I have enclosed a screenshot (see below) and I have highlighted in red the area I was talking about. When I start the slideshow on Teams and share my screen, the audience can see the "Note area". I would like to know if it is possible while sharing my screen using Teams that the audience can't see the Note area on their screen but I can still see it on my screen and can access my note? Hope I am clear,

Best regards,

Jerome
