Consider the case where - besides a presentation - you'd also like to show
live demos of some software. I really like presenter view as it helps a lot
during the slide based part. However, once I come to the "and now for the
demo" slide, I'd need a one click solution (preferred) to toggle between
presenter view (with projector being used as "second monitor") and mirroring
my desktop for the demo. Is there a way to achieve this?
 
I wonder if you opt to run the presentation in a window, if you could easily
drag it from one monitor to the other. Not the easiest thing in the world,
but it might be doable.

Click to expand...

The problem is that I'd like to show a live demo of an application and thus
need to see what I'm doing (else I'd have to turn my back to the audience,
not feasible). Probably I'll have to resort to using a second laptop and a
monitor switch. Sigh... Thanks for the answer anyway.
 
Yeah, sorry -- I can't think of any other way.

For what it's worth, I often end up with this issue myself when training. In
my case, the class usually wants to see Presenter View, though. I just tell
them to come and stand behind me! (I know that doesn't help you, just saying
I do understand.)
