    Well, this is tough. Presenter View is not specifically supported, however we do usually work with it. We do have a workaround setting that we can apply if you are using PowerPoint for Mac. If that’s the case, please contact us at support@polleverywhere.com and we can walk you through our “Force Monitor” feature.

    Unfortunately, we do not currently have a similar workaround for Windows. I opened a request with our Windows Slideware team to investigate if there’s something we could do as a workaround in the short-term. Otherwise, Microsoft does not have Presenter View available in the API (integration format) that we use. So, for us to fully with Presenter View we’ll need to do some reverse engineering to figure out what kind of math the Microsoft engineers are using here. Which is just tough for us.

    This used to work last spring with Powerpoint 2010 and the then-current version of PollEv. It does not work with Powerpoint 2016 and current PolEv.
    In addition to the weird formatting, all slides disappear from my screen (it shows up on the projected screen) once a poll has run. I can see the thumbnail of the next slide on my screen plus the notes, but not the slide that is projected.
