How to Add Notes to PowerPoint
As a review, you can add speaker notes to PowerPoint to help you with your presentation. Your audience won’t see these notes during the show, so it’s helpful to include your talking points or additional details you want to share to expand on your slides.

You can easily add speaker notes to your slides in PowerPoint on Windows or Mac in one of three ways.
- Click the Notes button in the status bar at the bottom of the PowerPoint window.
- Drag up from the area below the slide near the bottom of the window.
- Go to the View tab and select “Notes” in the Show section of the ribbon.
Then write your text in the Notes section below the slide. You can use the font formatting tools on the Home tab to bold or color your text, add bullets, or change the font size.
