Presentation settings are options on your mobile PC that you can
apply when giving a presentation. If you’ve ever had your display screen
turn black during a presentation, you’ll appreciate that you can
automatically turn off your screen saver every time that you give a
presentation.
When presentation
settings are turned on (often referred to as presentation mode), your
mobile PC stays awake, and system notifications are turned off. You can
also choose to turn off the screen saver, adjust the speaker volume, and
change your desktop background image. Your settings are automatically
saved and applied every time that you give a presentation, unless you
manually turn them off.
You can turn on presentation settings by using one of the
following methods:
- Open
Windows Mobility Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control
Panel, clicking Mobile PC, and then clicking Windows Mobility Center.
- On
the Presentation Settings tile, click Turn On. Click OK.
