Every presentation created has an intended presenter, who delivers the presentation. In
Adobe Presenter you can assign a single presenter to
all slides in a presentation, or assign different presenters to individual slides. You can not only assign presenter(s), but
can also add detailed information about presenters such as the name, a photograph, their job title, a short biographical
notes, a company logo, and also contact information. You don't have to fill in all fields. Adding a presenter will make
your presentation more credible.
Follow these steps to learn how to add a presenter:
- Open the presentation to which you want to add a presenter. Thereafter access the
Adobe Presenter tab of the
Ribbon, and click
the Settings button, as shown highlighted in red within
Figure 1.

of a
PowerPoint add-in from Adobe called Presenter.
