Speaker notes are private text associated with individual slides. Add them from the deck editor.

When presenting you'll see your notes appear inside of the [speaker view](/docs/speaker-view) when their corresponding slide is visible. You can also see your notes on a mobile device through the [remote control](/docs/remote-control).

It's also possible to opt-in to [sharing your speaker notes](/docs/sharing-decks-with-speaker-notes) with anyone who views the deck.
