PowerPoint for Android - casting and presenter notes

Question

Hi there, I notice in the most recent app update that PowerPoint for Android now supports presenter notes when 'projecting' to a larger screen. Does this mean that Chromecast and casting is now supported? Or is this simply referring to a hardwire/hdmi connection?

Not being able to wirelessly present ppt presentations has been my biggest niggle with the app. It works flawlessly for iOS users with Apple TV, hope it has made its way to android too!

Answer 1

Thanks that incredibly unhelpful reply. 

Since my last message I have purchased a Chromecast and tested it out myself. I am using a Nexus 6p with a Chromecast 2nd generation. When using the PowerPoint Android app, casting a presentation to Chromecast, the presenter notes show up on my phone with the presentation on the screen. 

This is fantastic functionality. The description in the Android app could be made more clear to reflect the functionality.
