Easy Tech TutsHow to See Notes in Canva Presentation Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Delivering a confident presentation is easier when you have your speaking notes visible without your audience seeing them. Canva's Presenter View lets you split your screen so notes and upcoming slides show privately on your device while the audience only sees the main deck. Here's how to set it up.
01Open the notes panel
On your presentation canvas, locate the Notes button on the bottom editor bar.
02Write your speaker notes
Type and format your script or key talking points under each relevant slide.
03Activate Presenter Mode
Open the presentation menu and select the Presenter View option to enable the private notes display.
04Launch the split-screen view
Start the Presenter View dashboard, which shows your notes and upcoming slides on one screen while the audience sees only the main slide.
05Adjust text size for readability
Increase the font size in the notes container if needed so your cues are easy to read on stage.
06Close Presenter View when finished
Exit Presenter View without interrupting the slideshow once your presentation wraps up.
