## Pro Tip: Do not panic when PowerPoint takes over

    

- When presenting PowerPoint slides in full-screen mode, it may appear that the Panopto Recorder has disappeared. The recorder is still running in the background.

    

    

- Use  on Windows or  on Mac to switch back to the Panopto Recorder without closing your slides.

    

    

**This is especially useful when you need to:**

    

- check whether the recording is running;
- pause or stop the recording; or
- fix something quickly during a session.
