Why you might want to add speaker notes

Speaker notes provide a space to jot down key points, reminders, or details to cover in your presentation, so your slides are not overloaded with content.

You may want to elaborate on concepts that are too detailed to include on the slide itself. Or provide anecdotes, examples or activities.

They are helpful for sharing presentations with others, especially if multiple presenters are involved.

Slides Generator provides a simple way to add speaker notes.
