How to add speaker notes to Quarto slides

Have you ever been presenting slides and wished you had some hidden notes to help guide you through your presentation? There is a super helpful feature in Quarto that lets you add speaker notes to your slides - and your audience will never see them!

In this quick video, I show you how to:

  • Add speaker notes to your Quarto slides

  • Access your notes during presentations


  • Keep your notes on a second screen

This has been a game-changer for me when teaching R in 3 Months sessions. I can keep track of important points I want to cover without cluttering up the slides for participants.
