Option 1: No cables, useful in Zoom rooms with Poly videoconferencing bars. Presenter must join meeting.
- Presenter joins the Zoom meeting.
- Open PowerPoint presentation and ensure “Use Presenter View” is unchecked:
- In Zoom, click Share, and then choose the open PPTX file.
- While the file is being shared, start the presentation (F5 or click the icon):
- Right click the presentation and click Show Presenter View. Presenter notes view should appear on the laptop screen while only the slides should be visible to in-room and Zoom participants.
- Click somewhere in the blank space below the slide in the Presenter View to give the slideshow control back to the presenter.
Option 2: HDMI cable in room, sharing in Zoom without joining meeting.
- Start the Zoom meeting in the room with the Zoom touch controller.
- Plug the HDMI cable into the laptop and choose the correct input on the Crestron touch panel to mirror the laptop's screen.

- Ensure “Use Presenter View” is checked:
- Start the presentation.
- In the Presenter view on the laptop, click Show Taskbar at the top left.
- Click the Zoom Workplace window from the Windows taskbar.
- Click Share in the Zoom Workplace app, then choose to share the slideshow. You'll see several powerpoint options, choose the one that just shows the slides, not the notes or editor.
