If you’re presenting to a small audience, the simplest way to view your slideshow may be to watch it directly on your computer’s display.

To view a full-screen presentation on a single display:
  1. Open the Keynote document and select the slide on which you want to start your presentation.

  2. Depending on whether or not your slideshow was recorded with a voiceover narration, do one of the following:

    • If the presentation wasn’t recorded, click Play in the toolbar.

      To advance to the next slide or object build, click the mouse or press Right Arrow or Space bar.

      To end the show, press Esc or Q.

    • If the presentation was recorded, click Play in the toolbar.

      To pause both the show and the audio, type H. To resume, click the Keynote icon in the Dock.

      To stop playback, press the Esc key.

For more options, see Controlling a Presentation with the Keyboard.

You can also use rehearsal view to view presenter information on your computer, as described in Rehearsing Your Presentation.
