📌 Why this matters
You can turn static presentations into dynamic, interactive experiences by drawing attention to specific details in real-time. This transforms you from someone simply clicking through slides into an active instructor who can circle key data points, underline important text, or sketch quick diagrams as questions arise. The real power lies in spontaneous teaching moments—when someone asks about a particular chart element or requests clarification, you can instantly highlight exactly what you're discussing without breaking flow or switching between applications.
