This channel is for business professionals who want to improve their virtual and in-person presentations. I focus on presenting business topics using clear visual messages. If you create charts in Excel and present them and other content in PowerPoint using Teams, Zoom, or other platforms, this channel is for you.
I focus mostly on "how to" videos where I show practical techniques in the software so you can use the information right away in your own work.
I don't have a set schedule for releasing new videos. I will post a new video when it is ready to go because my customized training workshops don't allow me to always have the time to create a new video on a regular schedule. When you subscribe, you will get notification when a new video is released, so clicking on the Subscribe button is the best way to keep up to date with this channel.

Accurate Timeline Visual to Replace PowerPoint Designer Options

When PowerPoint Designer offers suggestions for a text slide with a list of dates and event descriptions, it offers visuals that have a horizontal line that indicates the timeline and then evenly spaced vertical lines and text that indicate each event.

3:54pm ET Phila, PA m. This man - what is his name, how can I not lose this connection - is the best presenter I have ever found. I struggle with technology. He speaks my language - English - clearly and slow enough so I can hear what he says. He also repeats, which also helps me. I am a new, huge fan and hope I can find him again. I gave to present on zoom tonight and need to know how to share a diagram so I can teach from it. It is not in PowerPoint. Someone else created the diagram and e-mail it to me. I plopped it on my desktop, but still could not figure out how to share it. The zoom settings changed and I never mastered the old, and am more bewildered now. I must persevere. Thank you for serving us. I am so grateful..
When sharing the power point do we need to share the excel as well? So that the object is visible?
If you are sharing the file with others and you want them to be able to update or edit the graph, they need to have access to the Excel file, either because you shared the file with them or the file is on a common shared drive. If you want them to just view the slides it should work without sharing the Excel file.
Hi, Can we use this feature when presenting, in person, using a projector? I'm trying to figure out how to edit/write/draw on the slides while presenting, with a single monitor setup projecting on the wall. Thank you
No, this won't work when presenting in a room with a projector. What you can do is set up the projector as a second screen on your laptop. The slides display on the projector while you have Presenter View on your laptop. Then you can use all the tools of Presenter View which includes the ability to draw on the slides. The audience only sees the slides and what you draw. This article and video shows some of the advanced features of Presenter View that you will want to consider: www.thinkoutsidetheslide.com/expert-tips-for-using-powerpoint-presenter-view-2-screens-windows-in-zoom-or-teams/
I have so much respect to how you are doing it.
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you. I had it working on 3 screens accidentally, then I added a 4th screen and it put it on the wrong screen. Now it's sorted.
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Great video with very clear instructions
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thanks.....Saved me some headache!!
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
How can this be done if your dates and data is going across the row instead of down the columns? Eg. an amortizing loan of forecated vs actual. Where do you insert the zero, total amount and =TODAY() formulas please?
I've never understood 'plain vanilla'. Vanilla is a wonderful, subtle, sophisticated flavour. Plain is just...plain. Dull. Nothing like the gastronomic wonder that is vanilla. That said, I would have expected the variation from the previous year to also be shown graphically as a bar that would sit either above or below the top of the current year column, much like an error bar.
How do you force a line above column chart when the line is a series, and the column(s) contain two series themselves? I'm stumped.
how do you lose so much space on the top screen of the second screen ?
Very helpful! Thanks a ton!
I'm glad you found the video helpful

Dude! Thank you!

Wow, you just sorted out a big pain issue. Thanks
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
just do this: share your presentation in teams (not in presentation mode). Then when it's visible in teams, use the "Present in Teams" button on the top right part of your power point. This way you will see all participants and your presentation together. You will also see your notes.
This was super helpful thank you
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Hi interesting thank you, I have a MacBook M2 and I have a Dell Windows laptop. I have an HDMI port in the Dell windows, and I have a HDMI adapter that plugs into the USB in my M2. How do I share my Mac M2 screen, into my Windows laptop please I don't want to add any picture capture Dongle or anything else, is there a way just to use the HDMI cable I currently have. It works fine sharing my M2 to my TV. Thank you.
Not on MacBook🫡
Does this give 120 fps?
No. The video capture cards usually don't give that high of an output.

I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thank youuu! It worked for me, just tried it today. Who says Windows and Mac can't be friends hehehe
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
This is amazing! Exactly what I'm trying to do. Thank you very much for your video. I hope it will work for me too. I'm hesitant to buy a portable monitor just for a very short remote work period, but i badly need a second screen. I have an old macbook pro anyways, so got to try that one first. thank you zillion times!
Finally at last
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thanks for the information but it did not work with my iPad Pro 10.5 (Model 1701) - possibly becuse it has a Lightning Connector, not a USB-C Port. Since I have an HDMI port on my laptop, (HP Pavilion x-360 purchased in 2023), I did not need the USB-C to HDMI converter so I used an HDMI cable into Guermok A/V Capture card (one you recommended), then into a USB-C (female) to Lightning (male) adapter then into my iPad. Your routine on the iPad to open the webcam camera worked, but would not recognoze the A/V input source. On my laptop, I could not get "Screen 1 / Screen 2" to appear in "settings" either. Thank You
If your iPad has a Lightning connector this method won't work. The Lightning port does not support an external webcam.
@@ThinkOutsideTheSlide Thank you for the clarification. Very interesting video nonetheless.
Thanks for this video! I experience the same phenomenon when using Zoom - I had everything set the way I wanted it, and then all of a sudden one day the settings were different and I wasn't able to adjust them so that they look the way I want in a Zoom meeting. What's happening now, after following your instructions, is that my video has flipped upside down. If I choose Flip Vertically in the Logi Capture interface, my Zoom video is right side up but the Logi Capture video is upside down. I can't get them both to display upright video at the same time. I can work with this, but I'd rather know why it's happening and how to fix it - can you help? Many thanks!
Thank so much. this is very useful. how do I show multiple amounts as data labels on the same bar, for instance both dollar amount and pounds amount.
This was helpful, but can you tell me how to still see your participant's video too?
Thanks. I just plugged everything and it starting working. The mouse is moving very slow, any solution for that?
I have been working on this for dayyyysss. a way to connect the laptops. it took the right keywords to find this. thanks so much. In addition to a surface and HP laptop i also have a philips monitor. maybe now i can daisy chain all 3?
But what if you have a second data series in the same graph? The overlap does not work properly as you have varying gaps...
Thanks alot. Helped me❤
Thanks, super useful!! Does it work mac to mac?
Thank you so much ❤
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Very educative
I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Bless you ❤
Thank you so much. Just wondering how I could fix this on my Mac as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I can see all what you mentioned when I click on share. However, when I share it, it disappear and I see again the common window of my camera.
I cannot figure out whether this application works with multiple cams ans whether I can do Picture-in-Picture.
is there any fix for the delay problem ?
Soooo I did all the steps and I'm just getting a black screen. Anyone know what's wrong?
What do I do if my laptop doesn’t pick up iPad as the second screen?
Thanks for introducing me to the Merge tool. That's a super useful capability. I played with it some more, and (using your example) merged your U-shape with a much larger rectangle. This made a shape that was shaded everywhere EXCEPT the U-shape. This allows you to shade the entire dashboard, while leaving the gauges in the U-shape unobscured, thus highlighting just those gauges.
