Save the Screen Savers

I recently watched a slideshow where the screen saver switched on after the prescribed time of inactivity. This played havoc with the presentation because the presenter would cover a point, and while elaborating on the points she made, the screen saver would activate. Each time the colorful swirls appeared, they sucked in audience attention like a newly formed black hole.

To deactivate the screen saver and continue with the presentation, the presenter had to go backward or forward in the slideshow. Each time it interrupted the flow of the presentation.

My advice is to change the settings on your laptop so that the screen saver is inactivate. Then you can control your presentation as you desire.

Also, run your laptop off the power supply and not off batteries during your presentation. Your power saving settings may become active during your presentation which may disrupt your flow.
